Brought to you by KBAC 98.1 FM 2010-09-10 17:05:19 http://kbac.com/experts/view/all/ 2010 KBAC 98.1 FM The safest method in feeding a raw diet is to buy a pre-made frozen raw food, as it has been formulated by a nutritionist to be completely balanced, and is prepared in a facility meeting the standards of the pet food industry. Raw food diets should be made from fresh human-grade meats, fruits & vegetables, and frozen immediately to preserve all the nutrients and enzymes, and to prevent bacterial growth on the food. When handled properly, fresh frozen raw food diets do not present a threat from pathogenic bacteria. And in healthy animals, canine and feline digestive tracts, very different from our own, can easily handle a mild bacterial presence in their food. Keep in mind that raw foods can be added to a dry food kibble as a healthy supplement, or fed as a complete diet, depending on the needs of the animal. If you are interested in preparing your own raw food diet at home, please use a proven recipe to guarantee balanced nutrition.

If it does get dirty, just take a damp rag and wipe it down. There are some commercial cleaning products available too that can help. Probably the most important thing you can do is to keep your chain lubricated. There are lots of good lubes, but I would find one and stick with it. It's not always a good idea to mix them. Depending on how many miles you ride, you may want to have a shop do a tune up on it at least once a year, too. They can check for wear on the chain, the chain rings (front) and the cassette or cogs (rear). http://kbac.com/experts/view/bike-and-ski/santa-fe-mountain-sports/ http://kbac.com/experts/view/bike-and-ski/santa-fe-mountain-sports/ 2008-08-07 08:00:00 EDT It depends somewhat on the style of bike it is. Road bikes are sized differently than mountain bikes, for example. No matter what, you should be able to stand over the frame with at least a couple of inches to spare. Even more important is how the "reach" feels while you're pedaling. You should be able to ride with your arms in a relaxed position, not locked and straight. The saddle should be set at a height that allows you to straighten your leg at the bottom and have your heel a little lower than the ball of your foot. A good fitting bicycle will allow you to ride comfortably for many miles, while a bad fit will make you tired and sore! http://kbac.com/experts/view/bike-and-ski/santa-fe-mountain-sports/ http://kbac.com/experts/view/bike-and-ski/santa-fe-mountain-sports/ 2008-08-06 08:00:00 EDT Slime is a viscous liquid that coats the inside of your tube. When your bike sits, it all goes to the bottom of the tire. If you have small punctures from a thorn, the tube can leak, even with slime. If you pump up the tire and spin the wheel, the slime moves around and recoats the tube. It should be noted that if the tube can't hold air long enough to get you through a ride, it probably needs to be replaced! http://kbac.com/experts/view/bike-and-ski/santa-fe-mountain-sports/ http://kbac.com/experts/view/bike-and-ski/santa-fe-mountain-sports/ 2008-08-06 08:00:00 EDT Good question. Radio advertising and print advertising are a good combination. It takes consistent advertising in many different ways to build top-of-mind awarness. Radio is always a good choice to add to your marketing plan to ensure a strong campaign. http://kbac.com/experts/view/radio--internet-advertising/hutton-broadcasting/ http://kbac.com/experts/view/radio--internet-advertising/hutton-broadcasting/ 2008-06-30 08:00:00 EDT
