Dang that Canfield looks sik!
New chain & switched to wax lube on my touring bike which means scrubbing years of black goop off the drive train, the new chain was easy just soak it in a solvent and hang to dry before relubing with Squirt
new helmet, old one seems no good anymore?

Head is fine, but clipped a log with my hand and that is feeling the worst. everything is straight and works so that seems like a good sign.
Got an Amazon gift card from work, so applied it to some Magura Trail Sports. Plus a bunch of boring crap I’ve been putting off like chain lube and tire sealant.
Installed a new rear tire on my hardtail - Maxxis Minion SS. The Maxxis Tomahawk that was on there didn't last too long - was OK when new, side knobs' inner edges quickly shredded. (Came with bike, so free, sort of.)
Added more sealant on another bike, which was losing pressure faster than it should. Using Orange Seal in those tires, as I got a couple small bottles free. Old sealant didn't ball up like Stanimals, but was very sticky and gummy. I've used Stan's for awhile, trying some TruckerCo sealant on another bike because it was cheaper than Stan's - no idea what it's doing inside those tires, as I haven't had to pull any yet.
Finally got around to swapping out a ridiculously terrible Kind Shock dropper lever that, came with the bike - one bolt clamps two separate pieces together, clamping both the KS lever assembly and the handlebar.

Can't make it tight enough to not slip without crushing the handlebar, so I've had a piece of inner tube wrapping the bar for grip. I replaced it with a Ztto knockoff of a Wolf Tooth lever. It's smooth and cheap.

Hell yeah, beaterdit!
My 2013 N9 is still going strong. I'm sure with more reach, they are even better. Definitely not light, though. Oof.
All my Hayes homerism couldn't get you to try some Dominions? I am disappoint.Quote:

I keep trying to buy a Zeb, but the ETA on them is sometime this fall...
New bike is coming with a 38, now im hearing reports of the stanchions at the crown rather than the steerer at the crown creaking. Never fails, always a day or 2 after the payment gets sent the reports start to come out. Hear the zeb is sweet. Less air, less tokens than lyrics

New 27.5 cannondale trigger 3 to replace the old 29 trigger 3. Pretty stoked and red so it’s faster

Thanks! I'm intrigued as ever about the Dominions but sadly I couldn't get deal on them. Plus redundancy of parts across the quiver is nice.Quote:

Got caught out in the rain and hail, so it was a new BB, chain, and cassette for me. Good opportunity to tear it apart and clean and regrease everything. Been running 30t/11-40 because that’s what was available, jumped up to 11-46. Man it’s nice having a granny gear again.
They won't be here for a few weeks, but I got tired of breaking spokes on the wheels that came on my (used) hardtail and ordered up a new set of hoops. Going to give the Zipp 3Zero Motos a shot, laced up to i9 hubs. Been running Cush Core on some narrow Nobl rims, but with the wider pivoting rim we're going to try to go w/o inserts for a bit. Purple ano hubs and green pinstriped rims, as you do.
Nice Z, lookin good!Quote:

New bike day! Upgrades are the GG Smash frame, EXT Storia shock, and XTR drivetrain.
Nice!
It’s hard to kill those old nut slapper dropper posts... gotta love the simplicity of a spring and a locking buttonQuote:

Bumped up my rotors from 180 to 200.

Andeh, would love to hear about your Storia experience, especially climbing and pedaling.Quote:
