Punctured my brand new tire today... it sealed up in 2 seconds. It was windy AF out there but I put on my big boy pants and made it, was too nice to skip going.

Looks like it may be time for new bar tape.

Thinking of riding the Gunnar a little more often, I ordered a chain and some other stuff for it. I put the chain on today and saw the shark teeth on the cassette. Frack. I thought that cassette was in better shape. I'll try and ride it tomorrow to see if it skips. I have another cassette that I can't find yet so I might have to buy one.
I guess all my bikes need new drivetrains.

I rode from my house today. Actually feel ok. I guess time will tell. Maybe I can get up to 3 times per week then increase distance. I have no horsepower being out of shape and on the meds. It felt great as brief as it was.

On the ritchey I want to do a 1x11 so I’m thinking apex or rival. Wireless would be nice too but I don’t think they make that for rim brakes.

glad you got out. Hope the weather was as nice where you are as it was wherever I was this morning. Now I am in Bangor, and it’s Chilly with a lot of white stuff still on the ground.

Just sold another bike. I need to put a couple more back together and sell them. Garage is gonna be spacious soon!
The guy was all "I can't believe you're letting this go!"
I almost took it right back out of his hands.

Actually pants are not too bad. I can get by with 34 inch length Dockers and wear them slightly low. Bigger problem are shirts, as I have a pencil neck and long arms. Good luck finding 14 1/2 inch neck and 34-35 sleeve. Cannot be found. I usually compromise and get 15 inch neck and 35 length, which is a little loose in the neck, but even this size is tough.

campy 12 at merlin for 2000 roughly. Just took a look to see what they had. In the distant future I would like to put tiagra or 105 on the wife’s bike. They didn’t have any tiagra advertised.
On the ritchey I want to do a 1x11 so I’m thinking apex or rival. Wireless would be nice too but I don’t think they make that for rim brakes.

I wouldn’t mind 12 speed either. Wound love to have something with tighter spacing that gave me a 34 tooth bailout for longer climbs.
The 32/34 on the Revolt is awesome when it gets over 10%

Whoa. When I discovered the thread about half a page down from the top I knew there was some slacking going on in here.

Good to hear that you're liking the ride quality. Is it a matter of suppleness or grip or what? I don't exactly feel like I've missed out on the GP5K TLs, but there is some minor curiosity about a tire that many consider a benchmark.

How big of a puncture was it - is it going to be fine with just the sealant?

Yah, it'll be fine with sealant, honestly I probably couldn't find where the puncture happened now if I tried.
