    It's just a training blog bro

Also seems a whole new crowd has joined in. long gone are the days of constant banter on training blogs, but I will do my best to keep it honest and interesting. I’ve tried to log this with photos and...

    XT M8000 loud AF in 46t.

    Peep the video: I tried swapping cassettes to an 11-40, making sure chain is lubed, clutch on and off, adjusting B tension in both directions, confirmed I have on drive side spacer on. I've read people talking about chainline, but it's all mumbo jumbo to me. The gears are indexed well and they...

    How do I make a trail here?

    This goes from my backyard to a cool creek behind our home. I’d love to just pour gas on it and light it on fire but I’m afraid I’ll burn the dam neighborhood down. It crossed over a gas line and the township comes by 3-4 times a year and knocks it all down. They just came by and I feel like I...

    Packing pod for old people rant

    So I'm getting ready to pack up this pod for some old retired guy going down to Florida, just the typical boxes and stuff, then suddenly he brings me two bicycles that apparently he rides a lot and are worth thousands of dollars? I don't buy it for one second, but I end up telling him I could...

    SRAM Post Mount caliper with SRAM AXS Shifters?

    trying to see if this is possible: Bike is post mount with SRAM calipers already. 12 speed shifters have flat mount calipers on them. Can I just remove the flat mount calipers and use my post mount ones? It seems logical it should all work, but unsure if they are different at all.

    Anyone ever had a Grade 1 separated shoulder before?

    Decided to go over some wet train tracks at 10mph on a greenway down here and lose my rear wheel… Womp Womp. All the research I keep coming up with about recovery from this is for grade 2-3 ones, but trying to get some first hand knowledge from homies that may have had this happen to them.

    Will we ever see Specialized Pathfinder Pro 700x42mm tires again?

    Why is it impossible to find this tire? I see Specialized made some wire bead ones on their website. What happened to this tubeless version we all loved?

    Does it matter where I put a barrel adjuster?

    Looking to run sram rival 11 speed shifters with a sram GX 2x10 rear derailleur with a clutch. I know it works but since the RD doesn’t had a barrel adjuster, I need to put it somewhere. I was wondering if I could put this towards the back of the bike, near the rear, instead of up by the bars...

    Help me put a hand brake on Lucas Strider 14x so he doesn’t scare the crap out of me anymore

    As the title states, I found a good lever, but unsure on what type of brake this takes. He’s still too short to ride Jacks hand me down, and we probably need another 6 months out of him on this. I’m surprised I can’t find any other info on this, it looks like it’s an extra long reach brake...
