Broken RDs

I broke a friend of mine's rear derailer--it's Acera--quite some time ago, and recently 2300 of my own.

The story is simple, they have different 'break point' so I just assemble them at different hinges. So:
+ =

But, uhmm... the inside hinge (the one closer to the frame) is tilted too much, and likely renders the derailer unusable.

New (Clipless) Pedal

It's been a long time since last time I posted, and I've missed a lot of things. Recently I've been playing with new stuff: bike, AVR projects, computer stuffs and such.

For now, just an update on my pedal system. I recently bought VP-R80 road clipless pedal (which I have to borrow some money from my mom). It's Shimano compatible with no special features, at least now I have road clipless pedal, no?


I still use the old shoes (I don't remember the last time I washed it, hehe). Again, installing the cleat was a mess, but at least (again) it works fine.


And eh, the bike is also new--but I haven't taken any picture of it.
