Been out on a few rides lately where it got below freezing. Nice warm jacket on the way. Like the black reflective patches too.

@znomit, I've had a Castelli jacket like that for a few months. I didn't like the price, but I sure do like the jacket, and now I have no regrets about buying it. It gives a lot of warmth and comfort for the small amount of fabric.

Well, its under half price at Merlins! :D

Giving up on the resin pads? How many miles did you get out of them?

8 inner shift cables and a 'Buff'.

Embarrassing, but trying to keep sun off the ears.

Ordered :thumb:

Tubeless tires
 

I bought a couple of Schwalbe Almotion 700/38 tires and mounted them tubeless on my Dyad rims using two layers of tape and Joe's sealant. Nice rolling tires and the lower pressures this setup permits makes for a smooth ride. I'm optimistic about the promise of no more flats but we'll see.

Not bad for $500:

First "new" mountain bike in 20 years. bit of an improvement ;) I want to get back into it and mix up the road stuff and get better for CX

Sugino XD2 triple crankset with 165mm arms. A set of MTB platform pedals. A bottom bracket tool.

Incongruous background for that bike IMO. :)

I just picked these up at a local garage sale and got a really good deal on them!

You probably got a deal because of the hole on the rear one.

****! I'm taking them back!

They definitively looks like the pictures in the others thread about Meilenstein wheels...

I just ordered one of these to give it a shot, seems well reviewed. Hoping this works out, the 1-10Nm range on a single tool should be really handy for 99% of my build and repair tasks-will just need to pull out the old beam wrench for big stuff like BBs and Cranks.

finally ordered my first pair of bibs and also an "out front" mount for my garmin. still have more to get though, I need a bar mounted USB chargeable light for my morning commute.

Picked up another pair of Jawbreakers so I could mix and match my sets. Love how they all turned out. Here are a couple of my combinations

I just got a Saris SuperClamp Hitch mount, 2 bike, rack.

I rarely transport a bike anywhere.... I normally just ride. When I have transported my bike I used to just throw it in the back of my pick-up (but I got rid of the truck). I didn't think I'd miss that. But with the heat were having now... I would have really liked to take my bike to the bike path for a ride early this morning. I don't like riding in traffic during the rush hours... and by later this morning... it was already hot.

Tomorrow... I should be able to get in a 20-25 mile ride.... before the temp reaches 80.

Got some replacement rings to tweak the SUGINO Mighty Tour cranks on my '79 Fuji America. Here's the old configuration:

53/44/36, with a 14-16-19-22-26-30 freewheel.

The old setup results in lots of gearing redundancy:

Apparently Sugino still makes silver 110BCD chainrings for their vintage cranks, so... here's the new rings.

Middle ring is being switched from 44 to 42. This should give me decent 1.5-step shifting between the middle and large ring.
And, small ring is being switched from 36 to 34. Mostly just because I can; the wrap of the rear derailleur was being underutilized by a few teeth, I get a slightly lower granny gear, and there are no obvious downsides.

New gearing, 53/42/34, 14-16-19-22-26-30:

Yea, a bit sad but it was after my little shake down ride at a local open space area. Took it into real woods twice this weekend and had a blast. I need to update my skills to the new capabilities.

and on topic. ordered new brake pads, shock pump and a rear shock rebuild kit to keep things working nice
