I try not to respond to off-color remarks.

Arming the new rear wheel with the equipment seems to be simpler

Sunny and warm @ 18C today, so I finally got to go on my first ride of 2026. Normally I ride rail-trails, but they haven't been groomed yet, as some portions of the trails remain snow covered, while other parts can be boggy due to rain and snow-melt. It was a great ride, 35k; 32k of pavement, 3k of mucky gravel. The streams and ditches are running high, with flooding in low areas; the lakes are still ice-covered.

We live in a cabin beside a smaller river. Over the past 3 weeks the water level has risen 2-1/2m; over 1m in the past 4 days. Some rain in the forecast, we still have over 1m of freeboard but remain watchful.

After tomorrow, temps are supposed to be in single digits for the next week. Great temps for slowing the snow melt and rising waters, not that great for biking.
