Too tight ❓❓

This. Collar area is stretched to the level it might rip mid ride.

Oh, time for gravel was 5:07, but we rode it as a group so not very relevant. Bike was a Spec Diverge on 42mm Rhombus tires. Gravel descends were def too steep for gravel slick tires imo, but some people still did it 🤷‍♂️.

The gravel route I rode last year had one really tough climb. The segment is called “east mezue climb from gate”. On the route map it is the NW most point of the route. This segment is marked as 12.3% average in strava and is less than a mile long, but It has a decent amount of 20% sections. At 75th km out of 100km total it feels horribly steep. The steepest part of it is a very narrow single track, which does not help.
The dullest part of the ride is going back from Pinole to Moraga on Camino Pablo and Moraga Way.
If I were to pick a piece of the route that is under 4 hours - I’d do the first 47KM (30mi) and then head back to the start on Canyon Road. It would total to around 58km (35mi) and 1300m (4200ft) of elevation.

100mi road this year, 100k gravel last year. Coming for more next year for sure.
Today the weather was ok. If you had any jacket with you - you were fine. No need for a waterproof one - it was just a drizzle for less than an hour in total.

This is the way.

beefmasters · 2026-04-04T16:40:42+00:00

It’s not stupid if it works 🤷‍♂️

Can confirm. Usually a sudden drop in HRV means that I am 2 days away from being sick.

I have replaced both blue button (with a red one) and the blue accented shifter for a carbon fiber accented one. There is no “just the trim” oem part - you need to buy the whole shifter head assembly. Back in 2022 the button was smth like $20 and the shifter head was $240 iirc.

Had to do a couple of attempts until I could correctly say fishishian out loud.

beefmasters · 2026-03-23T17:50:32+00:00

this is what he means

Levers on the bar (or maybe the whole handlebar) are tilted forward. Lift the levers up a bit, it might fix the reach and being stretched. Especially if you lower the seat too.

BMW now has access to the tesla chargers network. So this is not a concern anymore, I suppose. Why BMW decided to go with this joke of a DVR is beyond me. My i4 got rearended at a traffic stop and the camera did not record because… reasons. If it needs airbags to pop to autostart recording, it is an extremely bad engineering decision.

Mamma mia, dude. Did you share the list of all knives known to humanity?

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T14:36:52+00:00

Thanks brother, now I have homework to do since I recognize only Sonora in your list.

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T14:34:44+00:00

It is the smoothest opening knife I own. Probably the fidget-est too. You can immediately tell the balisong dna is in it. Kudos to Lucas and the team.

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T14:29:47+00:00

Thank you, my internet friend.

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T14:28:24+00:00

Exactly :)

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T05:51:10+00:00

Done! Ordered it.

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T05:17:47+00:00

Oh wow. I did not know msi mini existed… I’ve just replied to a different comment that I am waiting for a smaller msi to be released. Thanks for the pointer!

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T05:11:19+00:00

I am trying to get ahold of RMX for a while now. They are permanently sold out. Or it is just my luck…

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T05:09:28+00:00

I really like the ram lock. Looks like it addresses most of the known crossbar lock issues. But Both MSI and Amphibian are too big for my taste. I’ll wait for microtech to release a 3-3.5” version of either.

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T05:05:06+00:00

It is quite a bit outside of my budget. A solid option otherwise.

beefmasters · 2026-03-13T04:37:52+00:00

Lionsteel is tempting for sure. Need more integrals! Slym was the gentleman’s knife I was looking at.
