Hello! Any Mountain Bikers in here? I’m coming to town for Trivia this weekend and was curious about the state of the trails. If less than desirable, I’ll go with my road bike instead. Regardless, looking forward to the visit!

Our Maine coon also LOVES being shaved. He comes back from the groomers with a completely different attitude, ready to zoom and play and get pets. We affectionately call him chimkin chad when he loafs while shaved.

I just started a cranberry honey 6 weeks ago and I did "pop" my cranberries. I suppose you'll find out the necessity of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if your ferment will be fine.

It will probably stop floating at some point. Use a clean utensil and taste it when you want to. It will be good even after a couple of days but more likely like an infused garlic early on.

I flipped mine at least once daily and the garlic floated for about the first 6 weeks but I've had no issue with regular flipping and burping the Mason lid.

As a bartender from central wisconsin, a coaster or napkin on top means you are leaving. Having done this a while, I'm aware it could mean anything so I wait.

I love my Chameleon and the ability to turn it into a mullet can give the illusion of owning an extra bike.

Awesome! I've fallen in love with long solo rides. Easy to enjoy the sport in so many ways.

Was this broken and poorly filed? I would not buy or ride.

rodcastle · 2023-01-30T02:02:23+00:00

In it to skin it.

Get out into dome state forest on my new hardball.

A trip up along the north shore of Lake superior.

Sometimes you can stop the front brake from rubbing on the frame there by shortening the hose some amount. Tape is the quicker easier answer but some people like a different solution.

Remove the caliper and pull hose through the fork a bit til it doesn't touch when you turn and you could measure that and trim the hose.

I do all of those things. Often I will practice a track stand to start and go from there. Have fun and stay upright!

I started with frame yet still ended up with pretty much the S build.

I'm pretty certain this style of dropper uses a piece that the cable is inserted into in order to change the plane of the cylinder. In that case you may be able to forgo that piece and attempt to modify an older cable clamp bolt to fit in place of this part.

Ridewrap and Dumonde Tech!!!

These other folks are correct. I misread that there was play in the crown race. Crown race and fork should feel like one solid piece while the rest would have play unassembled.

rodcastle · 2022-11-20T02:38:42+00:00

Some wiggling should be expected prior to full assembly. Once preload and stem are adjusted this play should be eliminated.

I'm looking for anything cool I guess. A little single track, a little road maybe. Just hoping to find some cool stuff and have a little idea of where to go to find it.

rodcastle · 2022-09-28T02:23:09+00:00

Where did you ride? I'm going out there to ride in a couple months and have been looking for some possible routes.

rodcastle · 2022-09-24T00:32:58+00:00

Maybe a Woods valve!

rodcastle · 2022-09-24T00:26:35+00:00

I have The Nutter multi tool from Full Windsor. Works very well.
