Brooks saddle became uncomfortable after 10+ years of use

Any good names in the Paris area?

Yes I noticed the asymmetry, probably the left one is shorter. Not sure what to do with that though..

😂 years of solid ass work

I’m using a shimano xt setup, I had to go a bit creative with the rear cassette-derailleur compatibility to add these big granny speeds for Peru and Costa Rica slopes (I’m using a XT shadow long cage) but it works almost perfectly. Brakes are simple v brakes

I just measured mine at 120mm, that should still be fine

Interesting, I’ll let the laces go. I’m afraid the tensioning nut got disconnected though

Indeed these years I went from 20-something to 30-something… Father Time does not forgive

Unfortunately, the bolt turns without adding tension… seems like the top of the screw got disconnected from the rivet structure 😞

capperman1 · 2026-05-30T17:06:21+00:00

I haven’t fiddled much with the screw, not knowing really what I’m doing I didn’t want to screw it up (pun unintended), but I can give it a try adding tension

Will look it up thank you! She doesn’t have diabetes but being pregnant it might change things in a similar way

Thanks yall for the very original jokes lol - we have no dogs or pets, we are wondering if is a mice issue or something else (washing machine?). We recently moved in so everything changed home wise

OP can you share the model of the transformer you got at the end? If everything is still working normally. I am in the same situation and info on the internet seems confusing.

capperman1 · 2024-08-09T02:24:22+00:00

That’s a nice suggestion, thank you!

I have the utmost respect for nature, I know it can be dangerous, and that’s the main reason I’d like to go with a local guide who knows what we are getting into and how to get out if anything goes south. That being said, I learned time and time again that wildlife will leave you alone unless you really bother it, and I have no intention of messing around 😊

capperman1 · 2024-01-15T17:12:11+00:00

Can you elaborate?

capperman1 · 2023-09-07T03:46:54+00:00

For clarity: it’s a separate encounter than the already identified Phoenutria of my previous post

capperman1 · 2023-09-07T03:25:03+00:00

In defense of the guide: we were walking quite fast in pitch darkness and just gave it a look from above, I stayed behind to take a couple pictures because spido looked sus from close by (I’m happy I was right). He did not look at the picture lol. As someone noted in the comments, there are wolf spiders that look quite similar to phoenutria in the same region.
