I bought a set of these for my analog path prowler (2012 Stumpy hardtail converted to path duty). I also have an Allant 7+, so familiar with those wheels. The Quality does seem like an upgrade as it uses sealed bearings as opposed to the cup & cone bearings on the OEM Trek wheel (bearings were...

Dark mode would be awesome. I can't stare at a white screen for more than a few seconds. Yeah, I know, extensions, but they have issues.

Not all racks hold the wheels :)

Some dude tried to push me off the bike path with his horse a few weeks ago. Crazy people everywhere.

So I tried some of this stuff out a while back. Late September to be exact. I ran out of the usual White Lightning, which I generally replace every 50 - 100 miles, but had some Park chain lube on hand so slathered it all over the chain & let it sit overnight. It made a helluva mess. It's...

Man, the bike industry is struggling without price increases. This is gonna shut down a lot of companies & narrow model & build ranges. The good news - most people don't ride their bikes, so there's a good supply of used bikes out there. I spent some time looking around the local Craigslist...

I could have sworn there was a thread about this, but I cannot find it. That aside, work has been stressful lately, and the weather has gotten pretty nice...so I'm riding more. And the timing couldn't be any better. Starting a few weeks ago, my stress levels got so high, that the only way I...

I see that. Might be a good find. I'm a bit skeptical about downloading files from some Reddit post, but it might be legit. Who's gonna try it first :)

I wound up booking a house up by Joshua Tree for 10 nights. Probably not much riding but looking forward to the hiking. Has a pool & hottub too, so stargazing is gonna be epic!

I still ride my analog bikes, but when I run out of space for one, it's usually gifted to a friend or someone in need. Sometimes they get parted out. Frames make great wall art - as do full builds if the parts can't be re-used. I've never actually sold a bicycle.

Going in late March or early April, so should be good. This is gonna be mainly a hang out by the pool and try some restaurants/bars trip, but the option to rent a bike & ride around would be nice. I was in Vegas for the July 4 weekend last year & experienced an official 120F - which was...

How about Palm Springs CA? I'm headed that way soon & have been wondering what the bike scene is like. Doesn't look terribly bike friendly from looking at Google Earth, but maybe it'll surprise me?

Not much vintage on that Segway bike. I assume the 2nd shock is for the extra weight. I've owned some big motorcycles, and that thing was borderline intimidating. I didn't see Stark there, but this wasn't a bike show either. Kinda surprised how many bikes I saw. I only photographed maybe...
