What have you done to your bike today?

[TimBay]

Look for the line on the tire by the bead and make sure it's evenly spaced all the way around on both sides. If it is and your wheel is true, it's a problem with the casing and it'll always wobble.

Wheel is true? Lol, good one

Woke up to ride and my light was dead. My kid unplugged it to charge his iPad. Swapped out to my Princeton Tec and Feed Bag for the battery. Swapped Garmin mounts to the stem. Left at 4:45am.

I would have woke up my son at 4:45 just to tell him not to do that again.

Put on a new to me used rear tire (nobby nic). Went on pretty smooth, but I noticed it's wobbling a bit when spinning it. Will that go away when I ride on it, or did I mess up seating it?

Yes, it will go away as you won't see it wobbling.

So, how would you expect the tire not to wobble?

Somewhat of a joke. But the wobble looks more like the rubber (likely seated it poorly).

I hid his iPad. That may be considered child abuse in 2020, I'll expect my yearly visit from DYFS.

The casing can be deformed both from the manufacturing process or due to a hit. Tried both. I'm actually waiting on a warranty claim for a tire that came wobbling straight from the factory (so to speak), re-seated 3 times on a brand new built and trued wheel to no avail.

Hid it as in took it with you, used it on your trip, and returned it all dusty and with a dead battery?

Upon further inspection, it does wobble at a point where my rim is out of true, so gonna try and fix that later. I also repumped it as it lost air overnight and it actually looks a bit better now, so might just not have had it seated well enough. Definitely excited to get out on it as it's replacing a 2.2 Ikon. Grip city, here I come.

Fat is Back! With weight loss.
Other then true up wheel mounted a new jumbo in the back which was a m-fer. We are good to roll.

Changed the brake pads on my Roubion. Went for a test ride and didn’t die.

I thought about my bike, is that good enough?

I need new pads too... maybe tonight...

 

[mattybfat]

after pulling down the SS and juicing the tires. Took it out for a shakedown.

Hosed it off when I got home and realized what thought was a BB problem turned out not to be. Can't kill those SKF BBs. Turns out my beautiful middleburns are at the end. The square taper are worn. I fixed with some seltzer can shims and may need another 2.
Swapped 21 cog for 20 cog. This is where i plan to stay, no more heman BS. Threw in some metallic pads on the front and broke out my 30 year old park chain cleaner. Probably the oldest Park tool I own.

Here's a pro tip. Garage door handle makes for a good bike stand 🙂

Great saddle.

Installed a fresh set of rotors and a new dropper post. PNW rainier 170 mm drop thanks to @JimN for the recommendation. I didn't realize how bad my old seat post was until I installed this new one. Plus the extra 20 mm of drop is really helpful in the tech.

Nice! I said the same thing.
