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.

After injecting the MucOff sealant I use a Q-tip to clean the valve stem and something like a popsicle stick to put a small amount of the silicone grease directly into the stem. I did a side-by-side 3x5 card of Slime and the MucOff. The Slime stayed gooey for two weeks, The MucOff solidified in...

Orange Seal is good, the best is MucOff. It is highly viscous and forms polymer strings when it hits outside air. After a medium puncture, just repump the tube. It is funny to see a string coming out of a tire. I like the extra-protection of tubes, even though I cannot use rubber gloves. I need...

I will be sending a gravel bike to Mexico. It is getting these ones in 700 x 50. You also can't get a Tannus while sitting; unless it is on a tanning bed

"You cain't git a T-annus where the sun don't shine."

I think with Tuffy you need to schedule an annual tube replacement. They will eventually press in and slice a tube. But it is something that you can do on your own timing and not just random flats. My last flat was from hitting a 3 inch high protrusion sideways last week. I just used a friend's...

I know that they use vegetables to make vegetable oil but what about baby oil and baby powder?

I would rather go with a way to float it such as some corn starch, flower, or baby powder. You can then pinch the tire to center the liner.

I was attracted to one of my first loves, a French Beauty in 1983. The thing is they are so unstable. I love it, but cannot do it now. Also, the chain stays and dropouts cannot take a powerful mid-drive. I am in a love/can't do dilemma. I will admire their refined shapeliness from afar. When I...

@DaveMatthews, Why should you never feed a duck a corn tortilla? Skip to the lower left. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DwmgFP3uFgFfzaHz9 I just got my pound of bagel baking poppy seeds. There are about 3,300 seeds per gram x 453 grams per pound = 1,500,000 seeds. So if only 2% sprout there will be...

Who eats tater tots with goat cheese? Now if they were shaped like dicks they would be authoritarian tater-dicks
