Thanks! Wiped it a bit on Mt. Tam …. All good. Blood begets blood.

This looks miserable, zero fun had

Moar…. Pro-tip: if you want to make the last ferry back across the Bay, don’t let a dumb stoner bike mechanic plan it. 🙄🙄 That move led to a **very** windy and cold ride across the Richmond Bridge. It was funny for some reason. 🙄...

I hate to say it, but the more I hear about Lynkey the less I like them. Bonded headset cups? No sliding dropouts? And now this?

Yeah, fortunately my hanger on the Epic E-Faux (the AXS bike) is UDH. Cheap and easy to find if you really f it up. My Lynskey is another story. The hanger on that bike is bespoke (<-- right there's some serious word choice in action :lol:) and...

Yup, 12 speed is inherently more sensitive to hanger alignment because of the smaller spaces between the gears. And shifting issue, i check hanger alignment first. The real crappy think about transmission is that if you catch the der on...

Not a bad place to ride….

Send pics, be safe. Drive fast. Take chances.

Will do, Joey…. Jenna is bringing her TI Hayduke hardtail with 2.8’s! Taking the ghey-ass Prius but my fuel costs will be super nice in expensive California.

I'm surprised you went with such an aggressive tire. Let us know how it goes, share pics

Yesterday I used it on the initial, mostly flat portion of the Mendenhall West Glacier route to shorten the trail time. Biking was a pleasant way to both start and finish.

My big stupid bike is really fun on jumps

Some spontaneous decent weather in phx today. 88 on my ride, finally got to shake down the new megatower. @OGBeno rode part of the route i took you on (xc territory) and this thing made it zero fun. It’s like riding a couch 🤣 need to get it...

Amazing work. Love the sloping fork crown too. I really appreciate the photos. @Somebodyelse5 I'll let you know how it goes ... in a couple years haha. Here in Colorado there's Yamaguchi out in Rifle or Newcastle, somewhere on the Western Slope...

I got some goggles and some old person inserts to go with the fullface and big ol enduro sled. This way I can actually see the drops i chicken out on. Big shout out to Sved Optical. They've done a few inserts for me and they've all been...

There's a place in Tucson that does a course... it's like 2-3 weeks long and about the cost of a college course but you leave with a frame you built. On my bucket list to do. I'd really like to build my own frame but every time I start down the...

How'd everything turn out??

I haven't had great luck running hip packs with bladders. If I need that much water I tend to pull out the full pack. The heavier hip packs with the bladders tend to be real annoying to position or have to be incredibly tight to feel secure. I...

This might make you cool enough to not make fun of your tri tendencies

Oh absolutely! 😆 You asked for it. 3 of those are my hubby's, the rest are mine. 1. Custom gravel bike 2. Niner Sir9 (SS). I custom painted the frame 3. Road bike 4. Salsa confluence 5. Scott road bike - hubby's 6. Niner SIR9 - hubby's 7...

Sweet ride! That's more like it. My belief in humanity has been restored. :lol:

Trainer time with the coach supervising

building wheels with Enve gravel rims, Berd spokes and hubs. rear weighs 700 grams :D

New frame to new bike day…. Basically went from a Medium Esker Japhy to a Small Esker Japhy. So much happier with a bit smaller frame factor. Jenna doing her magic… She seems happy with the results…
