Did anyone ever figure out if @UnfilteredDregs is ok? He dropped off the radar suddenly.

Installed the DA drivetrain on the steel bike (I'll do the brakes some other time.) I spent a fair amount of time failing at making it shift properly. Then I realized that using the same chain was a bad idea. Put on an old 11-speed chain and it's all good now.
Also mounted my new tubulars. Didn't manage to get them perfectly straight. Will I die?

Good to hear. I know he followed me on Strava, so I was able to see/stalk him there and there is no cycling activity...and no BF logins since March...glad he is alive.

Shortly following the inauguration, he's got a couple of posts that indicate he may be busy with political activism.

Hey @Trsnrtr, remember those wheels you gave me? I am upgrading them to some of these rims:
I think they'll look great on the steel bike.

You've been here long enough to know that everything is an upgrade.

Seriously, the only one a I know is the Tufo. The backing tape allows you to completely straighten the tire before you pull it out and fix the tire's position. But maybe you did that.

Oh remember my sister's dog who has a tumor in his leg and she took him for some Chinese/alternative medical treatments?
Poor guy got another Xray yesterday and the tumor is way worse, leg coming off next week. Apparently dogs adapt pretty well to life on 3 legs and they say the prognosis is good.

Maybe in a couple days you guys will get the pocket of cold air over us - it's been ~90° and fairly humid for the last handful of days, but today is going to top out at 70°

Had to do some helmet shopping today - some of the adjustment/suspension thingies on my Specialized have cracked and it's not staying in place too well. I was really hoping that a POC, Smith, Giro or something cool would fit my melon nicely, but none of them were quite right. Ended up with another Specialized.
