What have you bought/upgraded today.

I got all googly eyed and bought a DVO Sapphire for the Ripley. I'm mostly excited for the easy service (I like fresh oil in my damper).

Now I'm on the list for a Topaz when they get back in stock.

Well, almost time for summer knee rehab season:

I got a roadID tag to put on my heart rate monitor arm band. It has my wife's phone number and says I'm an organ donor...hope that information never becomes relevant while I'm out on a ride.

Anyway, they put a coupon in the box that I thought someone might want. It's good for $10 off any ID.
The code is: 843GG86PGWG9HG
I believe it's one time use only, so please mention if you use it.

Ya - ride wrap in Whistler does it for a very reasonable fee. The shipping from and to Whis - not as reasonable.

RW is a few doors down from our Whistler office, dropped frame off in the morning, picked up afternoon, totally worth the cost.

Careful, someone will use this info to harvest your organs and then try to pick up your wife.

Well, I always tell her that I want her to move on and be happy once I'm gone, so...call it a win?

Chains, brake pads, and tires for the upcoming season. Usually place a JBI order with a couple friends but every single part number on our list was out of stock so I had to scrounge for stuff on ebay. Gonna be an interesting season supply wise. Just happy I have a bike to ride

A handful of new tools, building a “tool box wars” case for them.
Photos to come.

Ordered this for my 4 year old.

new bike day.

[evasive_MT]

Yesterday I finally got my 2020 frame rebuilt with new components. It took a while to get the XT 12-speed. I had to send the hub back to Onyx, too (they made a running change to their axles a few years ago). So obviously I woke up to an inch of snow today.

I'm looking forward to this. I'm also looking forward to the plans drawn in excel.

I'm thinking I might need new road shoes so I came here for the enablement.

new bike day.

Solid

I decided not to wait, bought a Comp in the fall and replaced everything on it.

It's a fast bike that's also fun.

It’s in a CAD drawing....

What size? I have those Black Giros that are smidge too big. 45.
The reds and whites that I like the fit of are 44.5. I’m a 27.5 100m Lange.

Bought a new CK headset to replace cane creek junk. Sent Cane Creek shock to be rebuilt.

Debating whether I should have just bought a Fox instead. Might still sell the rebuilt DB Air and buy something else anyway.

New parts trickling in for the above build

New bags, bar, and basket for the commuter.

Finally got fed up with my Shimano dropper lever and bought a Wolftooth light action remote. I thought I had a few of the cheap chinese remotes left but I apparently sold them (on here) so I had to spend mucho $$.
This damn obsession brands have with clean cockpits and tacking everything on the brake lever is a bit annoying. The shimano I-spec stuff works well enough but I could never get the brake lever position I wanted without forcing my thumbs into an excessive workout to actuate the shifter and dropper remote. Style before function all the way.
As far as positioning stuff there's really no way to beat the adjustability you get with a simple bar clamp.

Haha. That might be a bit pricey for home use.

Still waiting on some different foam of variating thickness, but here is my pliers layer.

Experimenting with knife cuts, hot knife cuts, hot flat soldering tips.
I have a buddy who CNC mills the foam out for super professional looking cuts.
My tools and layout will change from my initial set up. I’ll wait until I have a perfected layout and then go the CNC route.
More photos to come when my foam arrives next week.

I'm stuck on the fact that your chain tool is in your pliers layer. There are good arguments on both sides of that issue and I can't decide how I feel about it. And now I'm way too invested in this question.

This is making my brain physically hurt.

I realize this is a personal failing. Doesn't change how anxious this is making me.

[Dee Hubbs]

It’s right with my chain quick link pliers. Is the chain tool not just “a press/punch” like the hole press/ punch (for race plate numbers and another special secret use to come!)
Maybe my other layers will help explain the method to my madness?
