While out on a long ride on Saturday with my partner-in-website, Fin, we stopped at a local mountain bike shop. The owner has agreed to advertise on our site (and pay us $.)  While we talked about his ads, placement, duration, etc., I had his service department give my bike the once over. The previous few weeks I’d been rather hard on it and the gears were badly misbehaving.  Last week’s  run along the river to avoid the streets really took a toll.

Anyway, his service boys did a complete breakdown of the front sprocket set and realigned them, pulled out and reset the gear cables, adjusted the brakes and just generally did a complete system check. About 30 minutes worth of work while we talked advertising.

Total price: $5.

Oh, and the website – ulsanonline.com – has gone into the black. Expensives have all been paid and everything we make now is pure profit. Not bad for a part time gig that, for me,  is just enjoyable to write, edit, program, etc.
