What have you done to your bike today?

I bought a cross bike and paid @jimvreeland to put on bar tape.

Pulled the old dirt jumper out of retirement. Dusted her off, installed new grips and knobbies and she's ready to rip the High Bridge flow lines. The super knobby DH tire on the front is way overkill but I had to try it out

Set up the loaners from @Leftymuk -

tubeless 4.8 minions on 80mm mulefut - went on easy with the strap method.
Gotta try them out before sending them home.

Please test and report back!

I cleaned out and re-lubed the bearings, chain, and derailleur and serviced the lowers and air can on my fuel. I also changed it back to flat pedals, my lack of confidence when clipped in far outweighs any performance gains I was getting. I'll still run clipless on my single speed but I pretty much only ride that at sixmile so there's nothing technical to worry about anyways.

Broke a spoke on the rear wheel of the X-Ray last time at the PJ pumptrack with my kid. Upon further inspection, turns out I bent the axle as well. Soooo.....I spent some time tonight swapping in the new Halo wheel I bought to replace it.

Broken spoke and bent axle?? That's some serious pumping! 😛

Lol...more like I landed a bit funny jumping into the last berm. I guess it flexed the wheel a bit more than the old girl could take. The fact that the pavement is less forgiving, and speeds are quite a bit higher than someplace like West Milford, or High Bridge, puts a lot more stress on the equipment I think.

My rear derailleur cable snapped right at the end of a ride on Wednesday morning.

Shifting was fine until the cable snapped at 4,249 miles. That's a record for me. I usually change it around 3,400 miles, but I've been putting on a lot of miles this July and so I sort of forgot about it.

I used a strong magnet to pull out the broken off end from the Shimano STI mechanism. I replaced the cable and also the housing.

lol at some point you were talking about why you bought the blur and how you can’t keep slacker bikes straight on climbs.
