Could have used that today. The rear full bleed took four hours to get all the bubbles out.

When the Creo first came out I would deliver some to S. Lake Tahoe, NV. No state sales tax. It saved customers $165. The very wealthy in Marin Co. are also penny pinchers. They will drive 6 or 7 hours to save $165 for just the principle of the issue. Even though they make that per second.

Don't we want people to get out of cars? We cut 'red tape' for new nukes, and Elon Musk, and Mr. T. tax audits. This is nuts! People going green and doing the right thing should not be punished. In New Hampshire they have a phrase, Live Free or Die. George Washington was at Trenton. This is tyranny.

Those thin cycling caps I mentioned can be splashed with water so you get cooling. It has not been hot enough here. We have been getting an afternoon cold fog bank that lasts until mid-morning the following day. The cold fog is a bummer at the Fourth of July. You need to dress for January and...

She is currently going 26.9 mph! https://trackleaders.com/gawr26i.php?name=Patrice_McDonald

What happened was the Prospero conversion had been put into a rental car with the front wheel removed to avoid one section where she would be forced to ride on the shoulder of I-90 where cars are doing 90 weaving around lumbering big rigs on climbs. She took a basic bike maintenance training...

That bike with the little wheels and huge chainring looks like it has a gates belt. What happened to the seatstays? It will collapse. Only three teeth on the belt are in contact with the rear cog at any given time. The belt and cog will quickly fail.

I have had back-to-back appointments and drop-ins today. One was a kid's MacFox. Dad pulled a thorn from it and the rear slowly deflated. Instead of removing the rear hub-motor's wheel and replacing the tube, I sold a FlatOut injection for $15. It lasts for ten-years, or the life of the tire...

@spokewrench, Patrice developed a wobble at the back of the bike. It took a while to figure out that it was a loose front axle. The spring is adjustable. It prevents the front loaded rack from flopping when parked. And it helps when a bump wants to yank the bars out of your hands.

No one needs a Halloween Cyclist Costume as a weekend cyclist to ride a bike. Use what is comfortable for the ride, such as cotton and wool, and is most appropriate for your destination. Ride to do things in daily life. Lycra stinks quickly. Get a good air flow saddle works better than sweaty...

I attached one to a bike's down tube using a Toapeak Versa Mount. She is the one in the thread 'a bike that doesn't exist' She talks about it there.

These a SPF and absorb sweat. They are very thin. I just toss them in the washer once per week. I have ordered three times. Four for $12.

There was an '80's song that went something like this. No need to ask, He's a defloporater. Defloporater. Defloporater. Defloporater!

Larger bikes, especially those with front racks, should have defloporaters.

Note to Patrice tonight: Patrice, When the crew at ToSeven learned yesterday that you had reached 11,000 in meters of elevation gains. They all cheered. It looks like you are at a lodge in Custer, S.D. tonight after a long ride. I hope all is well. While in a meeting I did not answer a call...

Dual kickstand and dual controllers. This is one of the worst ever. I wouldn't ride it with a bag on my head, if I were paid. It already is set-up for through frame. Why not use that. In contrast see this eBike.

I suspect he had his nephew installed the upgraded forks and do a top bleed after watching a video. Now here is more like what @Gionnirocket is talking about. The handlebar is upside down and backwards from livingroom assembly. At least the saddle looks good.

I guy brought in a carbon MTB late yesterday for a bleed. This morning I removed the rear pads, put a block between the pistons and planned to attach a lower syringe and use an upper Shimano reservoir. But the lever plug had been over tightened with a torx and it takes a 2.5 mm hex. The fork is...

I have a friend with an ill-conceived heavy Pinion bike with 20" wheels and does not fit him. It has electronic shifting and a rear hub motor and a Gates belt. It has a two huge batteries. Each goes 20 miles. Now he wants to get another ill-conceived bike. He keeps doing it. And the companies...
