Rode Hagen-Putt Putt Wednesday. Usual (really) small spots of mud, but totally G-T-G otherwise. And it appears that the annual horse jackasses didn’t go stomp it up in the muck this year, bonus. I...

My twin sister is on the board of Mucc. She is heavily involved. She speaks Thai, Laotian, and Nepali, which has come in very handy. She is amazing.

That was my youth, we were legal in Vermont at 18, but at 17 used to drive up and get cases of Bradors. God I loved that vile 8% goodness. As I did the French Canadian chick I hooked up with at the...

Do you use the 8mm wrench to tighten the rack into the hitch? That’s really the only way that works.

You know what’s risky? Posting in any color but white when 90% of us old farts read this on the dark blue background.

Ordered by accident. WTB 30mm ID aluminum rims, basic Shimano hubs. Black all around.

NON BOOST

$225 plus shipping, or free pickup!

I got rear ended ten years ago by a jackass on his cell phone texting. Küat thought that my version of events was entertaining enough to basically send me a new rack. Impressed.

That’s a good idea, but I have one of those stabilizer hitch systems that are not really customizable.

It’s like the difference between a Huffy and a real Bike Shop bike, IMO.
Materials, welding quality, durability, ease of use, and a ridiculously awesome warranty program.

Really all I need is an extension so the tailgate doesn’t hit the camper jack mechanism when I am camping. Pretty simple, but I can’t find a short one (most are like a foot of extension).

Where did you find that hitch extension/platform? Or is it part of the truck?

I have a bunch of those Risk Ti bolts, they are very high quality (even if the brand name is terrible). I like the gold not for the bling, but because they are the easiest to see if you drop one...

I will have an original NV 2 4-bike rack for sale for $450 if any of you eyeballs near me are interested. (Just got a new one yesterday)

Caveat: from what I understand, FB MP doesn’t allow shipping on any items over $500, so that will limit your searches to your local pick-up area.

Aww, poor babies. Who will think of the fashionistas?

Beware, almost all xtr chains on ebay, Amazon, etc, are likely counterfeit right now.

You mean like arming the fuck outta Ukraine? Seems to kinda be working, actually.

Hey, it was the ‘70s. I thought “If this guy is good enough for Pink Floyd, this should be good”.

Lol, when I rolled in ‘96 or so, everyone said it was over, “housing would never be affordable, you have to go look in Driggs”.

Eww. But there is probably a fetish website for that somewhere.

Entered the ‘90’s on one of these bad boys…

Damn straight. Skiing off piste on skinny skis was such a PITA. It was like watching the early mountain bikers navigate super technical terrain. Doable, but kind of pathetic to watch now. There were...

Hate the game, not the playa, dawg. In most places, bikes have the same right to be in the middle of the lane as cars, unless otherwise posted, or there is a minimum speed limit posted. Just like an...

Awesome ending to a scary situation! May I humbly submit a 'FDMWYTTMTB-ing' entry? 417182

Hell yeah, Mitch! Really wish I could have attended.

Beware, though, you might start sympathizing with that kook in Mnpls/St. Paul, resist the temptation to act like him.

Ahem. Yum.

Whatever, I just meant something illuminated in some way.

And get blinkie lights, lots of blinkie lights and reflective clothing.

TEMPEST FTW

I sat on a curb outside the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco once and shared a 40 of Miller High Life with John Popper. I was working as an usher for the Jerry García show that Blues Traveller (or...

Yes, NYC and environs is where my parents lived in the early-mid 80’s, my early musical life was actually kind of insane.

I lived in London in ‘88, the music scene was off the hook. Great bands every single night. It was ridiculous.

This. One of the greatest bits ever on syndicated TV.

They also have a more traditional dust wiper/seal, you may want to try a teeny bit of light lube. A lot of times ball and cone bearings can be smoother that cartridge, IME.

So, the writing is a little..,flowery, but this is an interesting read.

Interesting that combo doesn't swell seals or have other drawbacks.

Amherst?
Wellesley?
Bennington?

Damn, will be in Vernal :(.
Bummed.

I am using an 11-40 on two bikes, road and gravel, using a regular long cage Ultegra derailluer. No goat link, works great. (34-50 and 32-48)

Yeah, Baby! Hope she liked Bovine!

90mm Stem, and a 225mm dropper!

Ok, fellas, down to reality. $4k takes it if you know anyone. Condition guaranteed.

Maybe all I need is an $800 derailluer condom…

Thanks, I will give it a try. Staying at McCoy Flats if anyone wants to rally.
This is what gave me pause:
