Great write up TR. so good to have the big boy back writing whole sentences that completely convinced me to buy some dope shit. Organic humans rejoice.

Lighten up, Francis! These will look great on my Porsche ebike.

I can't convey it in any way other than vibes but these look extremely Scandinavian. Like Brio (the little wooden trains and tracks) and Lego!

Brembo brakes official

Riding along and all of a sudden my fork feels like it completely locked up. Gave it one push down on the bars and heard a nasty scraping sound. Thought for a minute that maybe I had come crazy failure of the air shaft or something else inside. Nope! Just the perfectly sized and shaped rock to get wedged between my stanchion and arch. Took some trail-side fiddling but it eventually popped out. I've never seen or even heard of this happening before haha.

I have become the neighborhood bike mechanic for our cul de sac. Its been fun teaching the kids how to work on their bikes and also making sure they are not riding around on death traps. Seriously if there is a neighbor kid rolling around on a bike go make sure his quick release skewers/bolts are tight on their wheels. Anyways last night I had a kids bike up on the stand and was running through their gears trying to get it to shift into the hardest gear. I had the cable tension set right, limit screws set correctly, hanger...

I got some new tires, inserts, tape, and sealant. Kryptotals, which ended up being some of the tightest beads I’ve ever tried to put on. Front went on well. Back broke two tire levers. The second broke as the tire went on, so I had to crack it open to get the lever piece out. Got some sealant in, and tried pumping it up. And tried again, and again and again and again. I couldn’t get it to seat. Let it sit in the sun, used some soapy water, everything. Finally, finally the bead was seated and it held air...

last year i had a slight clicking noise on my old sb150 while pedaling up and it drove me crazy, cranks were greased so i thought it must be that PF BB and i just let it be since the bearings still ran smoothly. then in september i switched to a new sb160 frame and on the first ride that clicking was back… turns out it was the pedal thread that needed cleaning and some grease.

One of the guys in the pic below threatened to shoot a cyclist few weeks back. You guys wanted Pandora's Box opened. I grew up gaining permission from other land owners to ride with their kids on bicycles then motos. Anywhere we took a bike, a moto poached & did not care if we got kicked out. Anywhere we were permitted to ride 2 wheels (usually just swapping out at each others property if we each had a bike), motos would poach & not care. E-bikes are just the bastard child of both categories. Making them dead silent thanks to...

Not sure if this is the place, but I'm getting a little concerned over rider safety (also posting in the 2025 race thread). I'm a big fan of the LCQ, I think it's brought a lot of excitement to the weekend. BUT when it's brought in in conjuncture with a concerted effort to speed up tracks (correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems lots of corners are either being removed or sped up). I think the execs ( I believe this also was a thing in the RB days) think high speeds and big jumps are what the public...
