Looks like a good day to get some bike maintenance done. It has been too long since the last coolant change. Now I remember why I dislike that job. Almost all the Tupperware has to come off except the upper fairing. A pain to drain as the drain plug doesn’t get all the coolant and you have to...

Well not a day trip but a couple of hours on a glorious fall day. It got warmer than I thought.

Amazing turnout for such a cool night.

I might have tried that on my banana seat, high handle bar coaster when I was 10 and didn’t know better. 😂

Here I thought jumping down 5 stair steps was rad. Holy smokes.

Along the same lines but in Toronto. Have to admire the skills but that’s just crazy.

It does look small but it is 26”. I think this bike is from 05. The kid gave it a beating but that frame is still holding up. The front shocks are starting to leak but I have them fully aired up and I’m not on the trails in the winter anymore.

Do you want it patched due to the location of the puncture or you don't trust plugs? If they remove the tire and decide not to patch it, are you able to them to keep the tire off the rim and patch it yourself from the inside?

The winter bike is ready! I decided to buy a new wheel as a new axle and skewer were onto to cost $40 plus tax. Local bike shop had a 26” back wheel gathering dust and for $99 it was mine. It took me 5 seconds to take it as the old wheel had all loose spokes to deal with too, might still try to...

Were the bake line connections to the master cylinder and caliper tight? Wonder if they just reused the washers instead of new ones when you had it serviced (not that they would loosen those, should be just the bleeder)?

Since there appears to be no fluid near the caliper or along the brake line, I wonder if it is up in the master cylinder and it is taking air in when the plunger pushes the fluid down and air gets sucked in when the lever is released.

It’s Wednesday already?

Woops, sorry 26" wheel, and I am short, but the summer ride is a 29er. The winter bike was the kid's downhill bike, that he left here when he moved out. Soooooo why wreck the summer bike with I can abuse the 40 lb (for winter traction) behemoth. It is a Specialized Big Hit.

The idea crossed my mind. The front wheel is at least 15 years old and no problem. The rear wheel is 4 years old, and I must say I neglected it last year, as I usually take the wheels and lubricate everything after washing due to the road salt abuse. Anyone has a used 24" rear wheel lying...

One of things I like about a mountain bike is the more upright sitting position and less weight on the wrists. I also have those little "bull horns" which helps when climbing or pushing hard. Decided to do some maintenance on the winter bike, and noticed the rear spokes were all loose! Couldn't...

It might have been a long soggy ride for the quest tonight too. Happy Birthday to your soul mate.
