What have you done to your bike today?

[a.s.]

New grips, chain and tires. Also replaced my defective rear Sram Guide brake with a new one. Sadly had to pay out of pocket for that as I was apparently past the warranty date.

Then I washed and lubed everything. Lastly I pledged the sh!t out of it. The bike looks good and smells like lemons!

Swapped the Ergon GA1 for a set of Ergon GA2 Fat grips. While I actually did that a few weeks ago, I wanted to share that it seems to have fixed the finger numbness that I started experiencing after switching to the new bike with carbon bars and GA1. On top of that there's a label that reads 'Fat' on the grip which kind of makes them feel custom made for me...score!

Experimenting...

That sounds fun. Or maybe you mean a different pledge?

You do realize that I have 3 basic white girls (4 if you count the wife but at least she has halfway decent taste) at home, right?

Sure... blame the kids...
I feel like an intervention is necessary

Pledge ? What is the warranty period on the Guides?

 

[Mathers]

Replacing my organic pads with Sintered and added more Stans. Will get a bath tomorrow after a ride.

Gotta look good for the TOS. It makes everything shine. An added benefit is that dirt and mud won’t stick as easily to the bike. Not that we have to worry about that with the forecasted PERFECT weather we’re going to have this Sunday.

Not sure about the Sram warranty. My brakes are from 2016.

Yes, there is.

I never had problems with my regular GA2 on the old bike, but the handlebar was aluminum and narrower, so it may not work for you.

Didn’t know, thank.
My specialized grips are comsidered XL but I just realized after going back to them.
