    Car-spotting thread

    Try two things. Place some moth balls in the engine bay or soak some cotton balls in peppermint oil and place in engine bay. Last thing you want is for them to start chewing on various electrical wires.

    Things that make you frown :(

    Removed both tires yesterday to clean and add new sealant. Got the job down in record time only to find that I mounted the front tire in the wrong rotational direction.

    Garmin 830 or Wahoo Element Roam

    Garmin and Whoo make good cycle computers. For me it depends on what you want out of them. Wahoo has made great strides in being very competitive with Garmin over the past year and I would dare say they are on equal footing. For me it depends on what you want from the unit. DCRainmaker does...

    Is strava going from suck to blow?

    I guess it comes down to what data is important to have. For MTBing I use Trail Forks (free) and for Gravel riding I use Ride with GPS's free version which gets me record your ride, create your own routes, create goals, create collections, upload and sync gps devices.

    Dried sealant

    Yes ! and or Depending on the age of the sealant lots of elbow grease for sure. Take a cotton face cloth and start rubbing. At first it will appear as if you are not getting anywhere. The heat from friction will start to peel it away. Make sure the tire beads are very clean on both sides as...

    6 Mile Run Conditions

    Got to Jaques about 1:30 with 6 - 7 cars in the lot, and rode to 27 Lot. Trail traffic started picking up around 2. Back at Jaques at 3:45 and the lot was full with 3 cars waiting for a spot. Trails were in good shape and running fast as Patrick said. Beautiful day for a ride. Seems people are...

    Introduction Becks

    Nice to meet you ! I rode Lippman a few times in 2018. Downside was summer traffic through New Paltz, from folks heading to and leaving Mohonk Mt., and the Gunks. Parts are fun and flowy. Lol..as a matter of fact that is where I broke my Greater Tuberosity in my shoulder. Sidelined me for 6...
