You can do with this with Craigslist too but you gotta use Google when you look up results

Did about 2-3miles to the start point as well so this is closer to 38-39mi

We had fun anyway but I'm reaching the limits of my Wiggle basics bib shorts, getting chafing and suchlike from the seams and generally the way the pad moves about and chit. So it looks like the next bike purchase will be some higher end bib shorts.

I hiked a part of this while on the AT and saw quite a few bicyclists. Beautiful and relaxing trail...

I found this very interesting. The degree to which the wheel was shaking the entire bike seems like more than a substantial change to me. Thoughts for those of you with carbon wheels? (likely an issue with all wheels but obviously more pronounced with carbon given the low weights)
Also I went to my local bike store and they told me that shimano doesn't sell quick links and that only sram does? Pretty sure that isn't accurate. Could someone clarify this for me assuming you know?
Also I'm looking at investing in a ultrasonic cleaner, a quick link, and all the tools required to remove my drive train. I'm dying to give my bike a full on clean because of the amount of road grit in my area. Could someone please please give me a list of all the tools I'll need =D? Many many thanks.
also a couple images from recent rides:

Mtb is different though downhill you're out of saddle 90% of the time.
Plus full suspension helps a ton.

But you can buy a KMC link for like $3. Everyone should carry an extra link anyway. They save your ass
You should be buying a wippermann chain anyway.
Drive train pretty simple.
Cassette lock ring tool
Chain whip
Bottom bracket tool external or internal what ever you have.
Some Allen tools and boom off

Bros, should I buy Shimano Ultegra 6800 pedals or Dura Ace 9100s? The ultegras are a steal right now. 95 bucks. I think because the new ultegra line is coming out any day.
The Dura Aces are 180 but they are hngggg.

And about the wheel balancing. I think it's a really good idea. It'll create more efficiency and a better ride. I don't know why it's not more popular or talked about more.
You'll have to rebalance anytime you change a tube or tire but as seen in the video it doesn't take much time and you can do it at home. I don't know if they make balancing machines like they do for cars and motorcycles because that'd be more accurate but the home method seems real effective.

The video does remind me of how valuable a good bicycle mechanic is. Before i started my Great Divide ride i took my rear wheel in multiple times, even at the start in Jasper Alberta, because it was causing issues. About 2000 miles later near Salida Colorado i noticed obvious rubbing against the frame. Once we got to Salida there was this really nice bike shop in town that i had take a look. The guy called me to the back and showed me some significant rubbing on the frame. Then, he showed me that the wheel itself was true and that the tire was out of balance. From that i learned a few things:
- I have a lot to learn about bikes
- Just like any field/occupation ... only 10-20% really know their stuff.
4 or 5 different guys looked at my bike and only one solved the problem. Pretty much the same thing i realized in my various corporate jobs.

Alum rim is welded/pinned opposite side is the valve. The weld/valve equal out for the most part.
On fiber rims there is no pin/weld. We're talking like 4-5grams here. You just need a couple peaces of tape. Some people tape magnets. Seen taped alum flashing you don't need much.
Silica has something you can buy for like $35. But you can do the same thing for .50C
Silica speed balance.

Holy chit.
I just pre-mapped a beautiful 30 mile/4k elevation singletrack ride for this weekend coming up. Originally was going to do a road ride but the weather by my favorite mountain bike trails will be literally perfect next weekend. Fukin HNNNNNG. This'll be my first time on this mountain with the new MTB. My first ride up there since oct.
I'm giddy. Can't wait.

Like in car ownership, so much of cycling comes down to emotional gratification.

SOOOOO DAMN CLOSE TO 10k! I'd like to get it before the big ride in may, only ~500 feet away!
Spoiler!
Regardless, it was BEAUTIFUL out today!

Probably stupid of me to even mention this... but oddly enough, I have these MONSTER energy surges aftereating oranges..It sounds so stupid, usually every pre training meal is the same (.5 box of cereal, with 4-5 waffles and peanut butter with bananas/apples) but for WHATEVER silly reason, whenever I throw in an orange, it feels like energy is never ending...
Anyone ever feel anything similar?

That being said it feels a little nerve wracking. Or maybe I'm just being a baby. The irony being I have done 12 hour+ long solo hikes in the wilderness and felt mostly fine. Das it mayne. Any advice, tips etc?
