What have you bought/upgraded today.

[teledad]

I think it’s gonna be about 33lbs with the Saint clip pedals and a steel King cage.

Not the Ti cage? It’ll save you 20 grams [emoji3].

The weight savings are from how much lighter his wallet would be.

Mine is a 2021. That link was for 2020. Not sure if theres a difference...

Looks like if anything the 2021 is very slightly less progressive:

it all comes down to personal preference though.

Good one. Thanks for that. Id agree on a lot of his ride characteristics. I figured it was more progressive seeing people ride them w coils and offering models w coils. Ill definitely keep that in mind. In the past i ran my rune(linear) with a coil and no problem but now recently i thought id prefer a bit more progression on my decoy and the decoy has some progression to begin with. Might be the added weight on the emtb and ive added 5-6 lbs to it as well. Should be fun finding out. Park opens in a month so should be able to figure it out by then

Finished on Saturday night but haven’t ridden it yet. I didn’t want to do a shakedown on the ride I had planned for Sunday. Tomorrow after work looks to be the ticket.

That beast is the sex, congrats! Love to hear some ride thoughts for sure

Whelp, just pulled the trigger on a Revel Ranger. Could have it as soon as late August, we'll see.

Hell yeah you'll love it. Haven't ridden the ranger but my rascal is a magical machine and so perfect for the riding in the valley

[Shredhead]

Just picked up a Slash 9.8.

New old man stem on the commuter has been a huge improvement.

Ordered a Mojo 4 XT build for my wife today. Sales guy said he ordered one last year and it should be in early Aug. Shout out to Joey at Jensens.
Please, don't laugh at me. My wife decided she wanted a new bike this year and hope is all I got.

[Dee Hubbs]

Sales guy: “It I’ll be here by August”
Me: “August of this year?”
Sales guy: “like I said it will be here by August”
Sales guy under his breath: “I didn’t commit to which August”

[Flounder]

I hope my ripmo Xt arrives before august. Put a deposit on it in November and it had been ordered prior to that. Originally mid-March delivery. Last week the shop said “soon”, they got word from Ibis that a bunch of bikes were on their way. “Could be any day for your bike”, which I took to be “could be next year for your bike”!

This is definitely the coolest multi tool I've ever had. Very slick little unit.

[nickwm21]

Do you carry a chain breaker?

NEVER Break the Chain

I haven't been overwhelmed by my Brooks C19 and when I saw a Selle Anatomica H2 for sale locally, I contacted the seller. It turns out that SA wasn't made for his ass and he was willing to do a swap for my C19. Heading out for the first ride on it this afternoon.

[El Chupacabra]

Replaced the freehub bearings on Mrs C's rear wheel - Mavic ITS-4 hub. Amazon delivered promptly. Nice and smooth, no more play...

My old tool had one, but I've broken one chain in 14 years and that was many years ago when I was too dumb to know that you can't press pins back into modern chains. Fingers crossed I'll be OK without one.

[rideit]

The reason that I carry one is to remove links that may have become too deformed to use. I carry about three extra (connected) links, and two master links just in case.

[nickwm21]

I use my chain breaker once every two years I’d guess... enough that I wouldn’t ride too far without one... I shift like a gorilla with cerebral palsy, so that’s likely the reason...

I use my chain break and quick links at least once a year, usually more. Never needed it for my bike but I’m the only idiot who carries tools for rides. Most of the times it’s for complete strangers stuck way in the woods. At least when it’s one of my group, I get some beers out of it.

Speaking of chain breakers, this arrived today:

I'd been tidying up my under-seat kit I keep on the SS the other day, transferring everything to a zippered cordura coin purse, and noticed I no longer had a chain breaker. I found this one on AliExpress for $13 and thought it was nifty, smaller and lighter than anything from Park or Pedros. I'm not a multi-tool guy, preferring actual hex keys, so pulled the trigger ~2 weeks ago. Tested it out today and it works fine, so into the pouch it goes, secured (along with a tube) by a Granite Strap. Unless I'm mistaken, this is an original design ZTTO is offering, rather than a Chinese copy of someone else's stuff. And yeah, I may use a chain breaker on the trail maybe once/year (often to help someone out) but when you need one, you need one.

Installing a new BB and the welds still get me. Every. Damn. Time.

That's pretty slick!
