Impressive, very impressive, especially after seeing what you have ridden in.

+1 very nice!

today i got an offer on my nature boy. getting cold feet about selling though. i don't really ride it anymore and if i sold it, could actually get a legit mtb. maybe the kona unit....

one singlespeed for another? seems like a more of a sidestep.

Today I took a big hammer and re-aligned my front brake after I got stuck in the clips and biffed it onto its side on concrete a couple days ago.

Yesterday I aired up the tires on one of my bikes that I hadn't ridden in a long time. I use a floor pump and over inflate, then use my nice hand held gauge to bleed them down to my preferred pressures.

Went for a ride. The bike felt like hell. Really slow and sluggish, kinda dead feeling, yet harsh and chattery at the same time. Going around corners felt nervous, sketchy and wallowing all at the same time. WTF could cause these conflicting sensations. Especially after setting the pressure to EXACTLY my well established favorite PSIs? I went home. Checked spokes, wheel bearings, looked for frame cracks, couldn't find a single problem. Then It dawned on my, my air pressure gauge must be malfunctioning. So I checked the tires with a different gauge and sure enough the pressures were whacked out. Miles out of the ballpark. How could my nice new gauge give two severely false readings that seemed reversed from what they should be?

Defective pump operator. I aired the front to 70 and the rear to 45. F'ing space cadet knucklehead. :o

You need to get a floor pump with a built in gauge.

My floor pump has a gauge. But the hand held gauge has finer increments and is way more precise. That's why I do it that way.

Today I took the fixed gear out for an 18 mile ride. HOT AF out there. Average speed was well below my normal, and that is fine with me. Just wanted to make it back home.

Impressed by people who get on the bike every day. I haven't been getting much mileage lately because I really just don't enjoy riding in the heat.

I have a hard time getting in the car to drive to a bike shop to purchase a shop jersey to support the club rides. Would have been easier of course, but not as satisfying.

it would would be 1x11

i just got finished with a 14mi ride that kinda kicked my ass. just looked at the "feels like" temp and it's still over a hundred. guess that's why.

Today I thought about you when I read this.
"The one who only uses acronyms" :lol:

Haha that sounds about right, minus the Strava part :)

Aw, man! Have you gone before?

Made myself go out for a road ride today. Wasn't feeling it at first, but started to wake up after about a half hour. Wound up doing 33mi at just under 18mph average speed.

I looked at my bike today :foo:

20 miles today.

installed some paul levers despite the paltry instructions on how to do so.

they the newest ones with the flat blade?

yeah. black ones. so snappy! WISH MY CRANK WOULD SHOW UP SO I COULD BE DONE WITH THIS STUPID THING.

Nope! It could've been my first time!

I really wanted to go but unfortunately an obligation arose. Said obligation is very stupid and involves a wedding that I have to fly out to instead for a friend of my SO who I have never met. FUN.

Wow, that sucks! :(

It is a great time. Hope you can make it next year!

weddings are the worst!
