Thank you, much appreciated.

I just wanted to chime in and offer an internet hi-five. Glad to see you found the secret. It looks like all the measurable things are trending in...

The super blue skies called called my number early this morning and I of course, answered the call. Then some pretty stiff winds came along when I...

I spent four hours on the mtb breaking in my jeans in hopes of developing some decent fades. It was really cold and windy so I closed the vent on...

I appreciate that...and looking forward to the change. If you don't know, that's from the song "Loser" by Beck... SPP

January 12, 2021 by SPP™ SlowPokePete, on Flickr Thanks Pete. I agree, things are going to change - tomorrow at noon! Thanks also for the...

Yep I watched the first two and I dig it.

That's an understatement. I'm due for #2 next week. The people ahead of me online are unable to get appts because sites in NY are not making...

Riding partners look ready to go.

Afternoon update, now pushing 24 hours since dose 2. Myalgias, chills alternating with hot all day and significant fatigue despite acetaminophen and...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/19/donald-trump-reality-tv-presidency-dark-legacy Carnage indeed as the death toll tops 400,000.

Nice. If I'm honest with myself, 80+% of the time that would be 100% of the mtn bike I really need.

Seasonally appropriate, with studs on. Summer vacation, barnstorming in deep central Maine. Bars: Ritchey Venturemax. Shifters: Dura Ace...

Not to read, but to watch. This is well-researched and well-reported. It's also enraging and horrifying. Take 15 minutes and absorb this: ...

A little progress. Finished the slot for the bolt to adjust head sube angle and added a pointer that will reference the degrees that will be...

Headed back down later this week. Bringing a road bike, though I could bring the gravel bike as well. If anyone is in the Fort Myers vicinity and...

Hey Trod - more pics of this Niner drop bar setup please!

In all of this, I continue to see a tremendous waste of our country's potential. When the narrative is zero-sum thinking, and that things were...

Keep in mind though that you should NOT use Blue Devil inside a Mavic freehub body. It is too heavy and the pawls won't be able to move fast enough....

You know way more about it than me.

Since then there has been a second generation of Red 10sp, then Red 11sp, then eTap 11 and now eTap 12.

It's Force, I'm guessing 2 generations behind, 2010 and it didn't shift well from new, it's only got a few hundred miles on it now.

When you write something like that you should tell everyone how many generations behind your front derailleur is, what year, and how many miles are...

Not over the top at all. I much prefer SRAM ergonomics and shifting to Shimano, but that old FD design was garbage and concerning. Yaw was jump...

Generation T may have to age out to fix it. All those old dogs are set. They will have to take a number as opportunity passes by.

NFS chainlube will work. Thanks for the question Bob. Bonne Chance with the repair. Those are a real pest.

No word about the MTB world. Sigh.

While I enjoyed the races last summer, which were truly filled with dope driven surprises, I have to say that pro sports really shouldn't be the...

Well, wiping the sticky external coat is still a good idea tonavoid having dirt sticking to it. Just wipe it with a rag without using any degreaser.

Yup- the big mural along the W&OD.
