I found out about this when I tried to view a photo that they posted and subsequently tried to follow on Twitter... After a long day, I have to admit that it kinda made me smile...just a little. -John

Mavic M40319 8/9 Speed Freehub Body

roguemechanic@gmail.com (John Satory) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:43:17 PST

This just in... After an extensive interweb search, I came to a conclusion that I just might have the ONLY one of these Mavic 8/9 speed Shimano freehub bodies IN THE WORLD! And it can be yours!!! Don't delay. Quanities are limited (I only have ONE)!!! Ok... enough of the dramatics. If you have a Mavic Cosmos, Classic, or Cosmic rear wheel that has a shot freehub body, here's your one chance to get that wheel back on the road. If you need one of these M40319 freehub bodies, you know that they are few if any (besides this one)...

Shim Kits for Campagnolo Ultra Torque

roguemechanic@gmail.com (John Satory) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:46:48 PST

Well, 2012 is here and I'm still shipping these shim kits here in the US and about a dozen other countries....I just sent a kit to France yesterday. There isn't a week that goes by that I get at least one email from a cyclist who is experiencing the knocking noise coming from their Campagnolo Ultra Torque system. I have also had requests for a fix for the BB86 UT bottom brackets... I'm going to see what I can do. This issue doesn't happen to all bikes with Ultra Torque... but it happens to enough to be an issue. You...

Hello All: Just checking in. Hope that all of you are enjoying this Holiday Season. I'm trying to take care of all the things that I put on the back burner when my work load was nuts. One of the things that I had to change is adding comment moderation to this blog because of the ammount of spam that happens to get through the "filter" the Typepad has... Anyway, I hope that you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah as well as a blessed New Year. I can't say this enough but I'm going to say it...

roguemechanic@gmail.com (John Satory) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:07:45 PST

Here's a quick video of a Campagnolo Super Record Ultra Torque crankset that I just installed onto a Scott Addict that has a BB86 carbon bottom bracket shell. I used the Campagnolo Ultra Torque BB86 Adapter and installed everything to spec... Normal?

My thoughts on The Italian Job. Can Campagnolo Survive?

roguemechanic@gmail.com (John Satory) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 07:59:18 PST

Every once in a while, I find a cycling related article that I can actually read all the way thru without falling asleep or losing interest. The article in the latest Bicycling Magazine titled "The Italian Job" by Bruce Barcott that's about Campagnolo was one of them. Below are some of my thoughts that I took away from it... Shimano cycle-division sales of $2.1 billion to Campagnolo's $150 million.... -Wow. I would like to know what SRAM's sales are... No surprise that Campy's current market is older, more affluent riders. I find this to be true. "About 95 percent of...

Help me Pay It Forward.

roguemechanic@gmail.com (John Satory) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 06:34:47 PST

I am writing to let you know that I just started ChipIn campaign. This is my attempt to pay it forward to those who gave some and for the families of those who gave it all for our country. But I can't do this without you. I am hoping that if you find the info that I post on this site or the many emails that I reply to helpful and/or entertaining, you might "ChipIn" a few bucks. I know that credible, no-nonsense info is hard to come by these days and it usually isn't free. This will also motivate...
