There is a one legged duck. Because I ate his right one this morning. I just made a bike for a friend without him knowing. Along with his wife we will put it in his garage today under a blanket for him to discover. I know it is national hotdog day but I am having a steak later.

Is that a pickle in a hotdog bun, with chilies, and fries?

Meatball soup, albondigas.

Are you Hawaiian? I am partially related to 'John Frum' by a former marriage and shared kids and grandchildren. His real name was John Martin. He kicked off the cargo cults by building advanced runways in the south pacific.

The French mushroom/herb soup has brae melting in the bottom for a pre-ride breakfast.

Onion soup and toast. The mocha has chocolate bean nubs and its toped with sea salt and cinnamon.

Yes, use a normal 8-speed chain. And use the standard 10mm offset 42-t steel DM02 chainring to bring in the chain-line in to hit first gear. I am 35 miles north of the Golden Gate. Look me up on Maps and I can help you to order parts and give individual support before, during, and after. The...

This is the place to post your food porn before or after a bike ride.

I used a tubing pipe cutter to shorten a bar by 30mm per end. It is much better than a hacksaw: Less pain, straight, fast. The ends will need chamfering before fitting end grips. They are like $7 at Harbor Freight. If I use it six times it is worth it. It could last for 100 bikes. I will just...

With investing, in my opinion, in a DM02 it is worth it for a major drive train upgrade. The left shifter will go anyway. I would look into a Box 4, 8, 11-42. The 8-speed is wide and robust. It has a powerful clutch on the derailleur and you will be down to 1:1 for huge climbs. A quality 48V...

Welcome, I am in the North Bay, Petaluma, with easy access to Western Marin rides.

The live music on the water was so fun. It started in the pandemic lockdown as a way people could safely gather and have fun since all the venues were shutdown. I was able to see three bands in four hours. It is so much fun that like outdoor dining it is now a tradition. Maxon Crum, the...

It is that darn internal lip. Don't give me no lip! There is a regular exit hole at the bottom of the down tube at the BB but I filled it with a rubber mounting grommet. So, I need to remove the motor and partially unblock that. But now I found out that there is live rock/reggae on the water for...

I am trying to get it from the motor up the down tube to by the head/steer tube and out the port there. But there is an internal lip and I just cannot get it with shift cable and magnets. When I do I can chop the connector of the 4mm display wire and pull it down to solder it in the motor. I am...

Park Tool, I am a fan, wants $80 to do this same thing.

Yes, "a hoot" can mean something or someone is very funny or amusing. When something is described as a hoot, it means it's entertaining and enjoyable to experience. It's an informal way to say something was a laugh or a good time.

For some reason we have maturing yellow star thistles all along paths and where everything else has not developed RoundUp resistance. The thorns have microscopic barbs and they break off inside the rubber of the tread only to continue the one-way journey unseen.

I replaced a tire and tube on a bike yesterday with quality parts and after inspecting everything, such as the rim and liner. It is flat this morning according to the customer. The bike was not ridden. I suspect the valve core. It was a new Super 73 stainless stem heavy duty tube.

I went to a bike shop yesterday for a Shimano Road 10-sp Chain Pin and saw an analog Cervelo for only $14.250. Think of the price per Kg. Without pedals it it 7.17. So, it is $5K per Kg, or about the same a Kolikof Golden Ossetra Caviar.

170 crank arms are typical for medium and large full-sized bikes. I just gave away a beautiful two piece crank set with a BB like butter. I am putting a mid-drive on a GRX so that crankset had to go. I really like the Box 4 8-sp 11-42.
