Dear Sealant Monster,
That looks gross. Good job investigating. You have more patience than me.
Sincerely,
I just pedal and don't fix anything
What have you done to your bike today?

My bike is now much less of a death trap.
a few months ago I took apart the rocker assembly to look at the bearings because something felt wrong. I noticed that one of the main axle bearings completely fell apart and disappeared at some point, and the outer race had become fused to the rocker so there was no removing it to put a new bearing in. I basically pretended not to see it, reassemble, and continued to send it knowing that the entire rear end of bike was only making contact with the pivot axle on one side of the frame.
This is the outer race that became one with the rocker
new Vs old rocker... it was redesigned the next model year to fix a whole slew of spacing
problems. New rocker, bearings, pivot and main axles set me back $275 which is annoying since they acknowledge the fact it was a faulty design.
feels like a new bike now. I didn’t realize just how sloppy it had actually gotten.

Not to brag, but I'm pretty good at drilling stuff out freehand. The thin wall missing broke when I punched the rivet out of the socket.

there are easier ways to do trail cleanup. 😁
Got caught in quick T-storm driving home from this ride last weekend. No biggie, bike needed a hose-down anyway. Took this as a sign to lube my chain. And while i was at it, i lubed my dropper, fork, shock, and tires (aka added Stan's). This is the most bike maintenance i've done in a long time.

New GRX 810 shifters & brakes. Hope headset & Hope centre lock rotors in orange to match the nipples & valves on the gravel bike.
I may need to get some orange RS4 hubs to match. When I built it with the black hubs the orange nips were an afterthought.

Don't worry, it's a rubber 🐍 as trail marker for trail of same name.
New chain and bar tape on the Boone.

I usually run KMC x11SL chains on the CX bike for mud shedding, but with #CrossIsCancelled I went with what Hb had in stock.
