Just make sure you carry your bike over the barricades instead of trying to ride over them.

Is that a threaded or headless stem setup?
Put on 28mm Grand Prix's tonight. I've always ridden 23s on a road bike just out of habit and this is the first time I switched....soooo comfortable. The paved paths with the roots pushing through the path/creating speedbumps are no longer going to be teeth jarring. Should have switched a long time ago.

Finally got a new track pump (we 'mericans call it a floor pump but track pump makes it sound more boss) I donated my old one to some friends and have just been using either my frame pump, a friends pump or just using the compressor at work,
and picked up some extra security
I had a friend who wanted some lights so I figured why not order myself a few things and make him pick up the shipping and taxes since he is already getting it super cheap.

For my 2006 Lemond Zurich:
Soma Hwy One Road Bar
Specialized Phenom Evo saddle 155m
I bought the bar because the OEM Bontrager ergo drops were uncomfortable for my hands.

Crankset with the correct spindle. I'm so hype for this build.

1" ID PVC Pipe and cap from HD.
$2.60 + 5 mins with a dremel = crown race installation tool.

LOL
I have a heavy duty jack and noticed the handle extension was the exact diameter for the crown race. So I cut the plastic grip off at the end, slid the pipe on the race...few taps and it was seated. Ghetto fab.

By the way, I filed down the crown race seat from 27mm to 26.45(ish) with a couple of files. Needed a pretty course one to break through the chrome. Why they chrome the machined surface is beyond me but anyway, yeah, I said a Hail Mary and filed it. Moved to a fine file once I was through the chrome and into the actual steel. Just kept measuring with calipers and tried to seat it when I got close. It finally went on after about an hour of gently removing a little bit at a time.
So post some pics of your new fork (and your sad seatpost).

ive been using a pvc pipe since my first bike and it works excellently
-not hard enough to mar the metal
-when one end gets jacked up just flip it around or saw a bit off
-basically free

38T chainring. Two laps of my backyard made me realize how hard it is to accelerate from a dead stop, uphill, on grass.

Not for the bike, but I got the new Endura rain jacket last week. It is supposed to be the most breathable ever made. And, it is a major improvement over my Showers Pass, which is a great jacket.
