Maps and bike lights

The bike shop now has a large stack of LA County bike maps and rear bike lights for everyone to use. They're completely free--just grab one off of the table.

Updated list of needed tools

This will be updated as I think of more things, but here is what we need off the top of my head. Anything with a part number can be found off the Park Tool website, if you want to order from them.

• Crank/ BB Wrench (HCW-5) [The single tooth side removes fixed cog lockrings]
  
• Adjustable Wrench (PAW-12)
• Magnetic Parts Bowl (MB-1) [Or if someone could donate a metal bowl, I've got a magnet we can use]
  
• Digital Caliper (DC-1)
• Socket wrench (should need standard, will check) (TW-5)
  
• Pliers (we have needle-nose, need a pair of normal pliers)
  
• Shop apron (SA-1)
• Third Hand Tool
  
• Penetrating oil
• Chain lube
• Citrus degreaser
  
• Rags (and plenty thereof)
  

THIS LIST IS OUT OF DATE, REFER TO THE NEWER ONE ON THE SIDE BAR.

Domesday, July 19

Those of you who are scholars of medieval English history (and who isn't one here at Caltech) will know that the Domesday Book was a great census and property record ordered by William the Conqueror in 1086 to assess the material wealth of his subjects. It was called Domesday ("Doomsday") because every person would be accounted for and the judgment was considered final.

In a similar vein, the bike shop is going to be conducting it's own "survey" of material wealth. There are various frame parts around the shop that may belong to people or may have been left for future generations of riders to use. Trouble is, I don't know which is which. So next Monday I'm going to take anything that looks like it's not being used and stash it in a corner marked for general use.

So, if you've got some bike part chilling in the shop that you actually want to keep, please either
1. Rescue it from the shop.
2. Put a note on it telling me it's yours.

Testing...

It's alive. ALIVE!
