    Raising Handlebars to Ease Hand Pressure

    One last thing that I do is to be proactive with anti inflammatory drugs. Though I hate to be a pill pusher, applying some Voltaren before a long ride or taking some Tylenol and/or Aleve help much more than coming home all inflamed and then taking them.

    Raising Handlebars to Ease Hand Pressure

    I think this is a very personal plight and somewhat hard to nail down. I've tried a little bit of everything and it all seems to help some in the beginning. I've concluded that it's the ability to change position while riding that helps me the most. I now ride with horns added to the end of the...

    tire pressure

    Well if in the 50's you were going to the barn for your medical care... I guess that explains things quite well. At least you were able to bundle doctors visits with social events in one place. 🙃

    tire pressure

    The thing that cracks me up is that by their own admission the calculators are often wrong or at the very least still need a personal adjustment... Yet they swear by them and it's their go to for use and recommendation. The ability to think for oneself eludes them. That and which sock goes on...

    I hope y'all have a web calculator to help you get dressed in the morning.... Sock or shoe first? 🙃

    tire pressure

    imo... The calculators are a waste of time. Start halfway between min/max stated on the tire and adjust from there to your own personal preference. Increase pressure if tire feels squishy or not efficient Lower pressure if ride feels harsh

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    My GPS is Off by default. It only gets turned on when I'm using a navigation app and that is rare. All personal advertising permissions are disabled. No one is under the radar but again I see no reason to flash my transponder.

    New handlebar

    True... but in the age of easy access to information, better to start there then torture yourself. That's today's lesson... There will be a surprise quiz later in the week. 🙃

    You silly kids are supposed to come here for help before you spend hours hacking it. . .

    New handlebar

    ahhh... so you like that leather... If this is your first time changing out a stem.... watch this as the order in which things are tightened is important. You want to make sure you have the proper compression on the fork bearings by tightening the cap bolt first.

    New handlebar

    I wouldn't ride on the leather for too long... Get yourself one of these bushings. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=handlebar+reducer&crid=34PWCKN3Z7H6F&sprefix=Handlebar+redu%2Caps%2C240&ref=nb_sb_ss_p13n-expert-pd-ops-ranker_1_14

    Rohloff or not?

    Might seem clever to the simple, but it's not. . . and it's also not exclusive. But when a Rohloff axle nut appears as a Rubiks Cube... It's easy to understand the fascination with just rotating a universal mount

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    There is practically no reasons to use a Western Union splice in a home. The only time I ever seen it in a home was with knob and tube wiring which should be replaced no matter how well it was done.

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    But who here is making a Western Union splice... and then to the NASA STANDARD? The NASA tests included soldering, and were performed to an organizational standard operating procedure (NASA-STD-8739.3) for a solder termination, which includes a number of specific requirements, including "proper...

    Rohloff or not?

    Not portable... But this is what I use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EUL2DO?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 I have two set up in my basement and I just disassembled one bike and assembled another bike using them. Makes changing elevation a breeze and the straps make...

    Rohloff or not?

    I wouldn't consider bringing a portable lift. You can always flip the bike upside down by holding the rear brake and pulling back on the handlebars. Just put a towel under where the seat will land and make sure your display has clearance from the ground. Something like these handlebar jacks can...
