What have you done to your bike today?

[EJphotos]

Popped the front tire tube, yet again. Fun. Not.

 

[jackx]

Cleaned chain. Didn't really clean the cassette (or maybe did a half-assed job). Lubed chain with T-9.

You get fit yet? Those brake levers look really low. Especially with the ergons.

I just slapped them on. I'll rotate em around once i start riding.

Pads and new rear tire. The tubless version goes on alot tighter than non tubeless version I had originally. But was easily sealed with just a track pump

Also if you ddon'tchange out your sealent for two seasons but just kkeep toping it off you get a hand sized stans booger 🙂

 

[Rogueldr]

why did you go shorter in the first place

All I read about is the new shorter stem longer bar trend but realized really quickly that the geo on my SS didn't agree with it.

 

[Rogueldr]

Hated the 70mm stem so went back to the 90mm. Love the bar but reserving judgement to see how they are with the 90mm stem

LOVED the wider bar with the original 90mm stem. Gotta find something else to tinker with now.

 

[Johnny Utah]

New drivetrain with an upgrade from a 30t to a 32t front ring, sweet! New grips as well!

 

[Rogueldr]

Swapped out my FR-5 brake levers for a set of Speed-Dial 7s and replaced my throttling push on grips with some Diety Enokis (favorite grips ever!) on my SS.

 

[a.s.]

Squeezed the rear tire on my way out to work and thought, "Still holding air after 3 weeks of not being used."

dressed up the Dean with oldie parts from @rlb and @axcxnj, also picked up a new to me pair of XTR hoops

fitted the Ellsworth with long parts via @gtluke, bars and post are now comfy, Stans wheelset from Dean moved here, just need better fork now than the springy Psylo

All right the Dean in action at the guardrail path, brakes were really soft, will need servicing soon

 

[mattybfat]

Ellsworth and Dean, you are a has been 🙂
Both bikes were respect in there time...
Are we a wee bit retro grouchy not that there is anything wrong with that 🙂

@qclabrat do you like the shoulder sling pack?

 

[qclabrat]

@qclabrat do you like the shoulder sling pack?

no, it sucks for mtbs which don't have enough room along with a waterbottle
pulled it out of the parts bin as NOS from the 80's, works better than the saddle packs as I can fit in a mini pump

re-set my fork sag.

it turns out that if you lose a substantial amount of weight and stop riding with a hydration pack you should prob keep tabs on your fork air pressure. turns out i had only 10% of sag for the second half of the summer.
