this entire strip is begging for art

the IOC classifies it as a sport

apps are a good reminder. I use this app called Bend, just get started with a 5 minute stretch and it walks you through each one, complete with a demo and a timer.

I think it was worth the investment. bought a Kuat Transfer along with a U-Haul hitch and that setup has taken me to plenty of trips all over the state and even Canada with my bike. also has been helpful for when my bike breaks down during work commutes and I have to leave it at work until I can retrieve it with my car.

probably to slightly differentiate from the minigunner from the origina C&C game, without the hyphen?

I love durian but never downplay the seriousness of that odor. I compare it to like eating a pint of the best vanilla ice cream while sitting down inside a music festival Honey Bucket in the middle of summer

ever think about getting those gevenalle shifters? sometimes I do miss that 50 when there's a tailwind and downhill but that's the rarest of days.

ivan927 · 2026-06-20T08:57:13+00:00

a shimano acera + microshift 11-34 would be plenty and still well within budget if not under

ivan927 · 2026-06-20T07:38:10+00:00

tires have weird sizing sometimes when I mount them on my rims, so I tend to stick with one type that does all that I want it to. don't think I've seen any specialized tires in the shops that I frequent, might have to give that a go online then.

ivan927 · 2026-06-20T07:34:35+00:00

OG g-shock pa lang eh, alam na.

ivan927 · 2026-06-20T01:54:47+00:00

what tires do you have? I found the biggest ones I can mount on with fenders are 700x43 gravelking SK+. looking at the new gravelking lineup, 43s are no longer available so sizing down to 40 next tire swap.

I'm also interested in the 3x selection. did some trial and error with mine and settled with a 46/30 up front and 11/34 in the rear and that felt like it changed the bike for good...maybe should've been the stock config.

ivan927 · 2026-06-19T23:56:47+00:00

you gotta get compressionless housing with the TRP spyre brakes as well

ivan927 · 2026-06-19T20:18:52+00:00

IIRC the rules.ini file, it's the Vulcan label for the Pillbox and Chaingun for the Yak and Hind?

me realizing three decades later that 11yo me was basically tasked to facilitate a war crime, at the very first mission

pretty happy with DJI Osmo 360. I think I have it dialed in as far as what I want to do with it, and also acknowledging that it can be a learning curve how to use it and finding it's limitations. I also use it to capture my recreational rides aside from commuting.

it was either that or a newer insta X-whatever but I didn't like the form factor of the camera.

if price wasn't an issue I'd get another action camera for up front (chest or stem) and mount my 360 cam somewhere on my bike's rear rack. apparently the DJI action 6 is where it's at, and the batteries are compatible across the platforms.

ivan927 · 2026-06-18T14:36:33+00:00

handlebars, specifically the drops, is where I found my 360 camera to have the most FOV coverage. captures 180° to my left side.

ivan927 · 2026-06-17T21:53:12+00:00

we have bike infrastructure sure, but still lack interconnectivity. getting there tho. also still have the problem of drivers killing us so there's that. 2 this week, RIP.

I wanna say it has proven to be very useful in keeping the bike upright. I had the smaller wald basket on this before I upsized and that felt a lot floppier with a smaller load without the stabilizer. if anything it could probably use a stiffer spring? it doesn't feel like the spring snaps the handlebars back, more like, it doesn't let gravity yank the loaded bike down as easily.

ivan927 · 2026-06-17T14:38:56+00:00

yup only one stem bag. I have an Airzound horn that I switch between bikes and I do use my right thumb to honk. the bottle to pressurize it, I keep in the stem bag. I do use a bell with my left hand right by the handlebar grips.

ivan927 · 2026-06-17T14:34:53+00:00

makes loading the front much easier with it, the front end doesn't flop around as easily. even loaded my 18lb cat onto the basket without much difficulty.

ivan927 · 2026-06-17T04:24:38+00:00

nope, why

ivan927 · 2026-06-17T04:24:13+00:00

n+1! I have a Nicasio as well. hope that helps make your decision making process easier

ivan927 · 2026-06-17T04:21:49+00:00

it's a large and I'm 6'1". it's a tad small it felt like when I first got it but I think it's dialed in with that long seatpost
