I got all googly eyed and bought a DVO Sapphire for the Ripley. I'm mostly excited for the easy service (I like fresh oil in my damper).
Now I'm on the list for a Topaz when they get back in stock.

Well, almost time for summer knee rehab season:

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.
I got a roadID tag to put on my heart rate monitor arm band. It has my wife's phone number and says I'm an organ donor...hope that information never becomes relevant while I'm out on a ride.
Anyway, they put a coupon in the box that I thought someone might want. It's good for $10 off any ID.
The code is: 843GG86PGWG9HG
I believe it's one time use only, so please mention if you use it.
Chains, brake pads, and tires for the upcoming season. Usually place a JBI order with a couple friends but every single part number on our list was out of stock so I had to scrounge for stuff on ebay. Gonna be an interesting season supply wise. Just happy I have a bike to ride
A handful of new tools, building a “tool box wars” case for them.
Photos to come.
Ordered this for my 4 year old.

Yesterday I finally got my 2020 frame rebuilt with new components. It took a while to get the XT 12-speed. I had to send the hub back to Onyx, too (they made a running change to their axles a few years ago). So obviously I woke up to an inch of snow today.
Bought a new CK headset to replace cane creek junk. Sent Cane Creek shock to be rebuilt.
Debating whether I should have just bought a Fox instead. Might still sell the rebuilt DB Air and buy something else anyway.
Finally got fed up with my Shimano dropper lever and bought a Wolftooth light action remote. I thought I had a few of the cheap chinese remotes left but I apparently sold them (on here) so I had to spend mucho $$.
This damn obsession brands have with clean cockpits and tacking everything on the brake lever is a bit annoying. The shimano I-spec stuff works well enough but I could never get the brake lever position I wanted without forcing my thumbs into an excessive workout to actuate the shifter and dropper remote. Style before function all the way.
As far as positioning stuff there's really no way to beat the adjustability you get with a simple bar clamp.

Still waiting on some different foam of variating thickness, but here is my pliers layer.
Experimenting with knife cuts, hot knife cuts, hot flat soldering tips.
I have a buddy who CNC mills the foam out for super professional looking cuts.
My tools and layout will change from my initial set up. I’ll wait until I have a perfected layout and then go the CNC route.
More photos to come when my foam arrives next week.
I'm stuck on the fact that your chain tool is in your pliers layer. There are good arguments on both sides of that issue and I can't decide how I feel about it. And now I'm way too invested in this question.
This is making my brain physically hurt.
I realize this is a personal failing. Doesn't change how anxious this is making me.
It’s right with my chain quick link pliers. Is the chain tool not just “a press/punch” like the hole press/ punch (for race plate numbers and another special secret use to come!)
Maybe my other layers will help explain the method to my madness?
