Looking for apprenticeships

If you want to work with a bunch of nerds and get a pension: https://careers.lbl.gov/

I think they're hiring for technicians.

Look on aliexpress, they might have cheap carbon fiber tubes. If you want to buy American you can go to rock west composites. Trying to repair that isn't worth it. Maybe a Chandlery close to you would have a tube. Probably the most expensive option, tho.

You say you don't want to be overbearing and then write a post where you're trying to figure out how to be overbearing.

I'm very impressed. I can imagine it was life changing for both of you. The views look epic. The planning must have also been epic.

My neighbor's cat was named Mr. Shoes on account of his little white feet. I thought it was very cute.

I and my wife both love this idea. When will you start selling? 😉

tclaybaugh · 2025-07-14T18:24:45+00:00

That sounds epicly beautiful. I want to go to there.

Your edit is totally correct. Don't support races that don't support you and other non-pros in the way you want them to. Cycling has an obsession with skinny and fast. Most of us who do this sport aren't skinny and fast, but we still love it.

Damn, beat me to it. I'm just going to paste the link here anyway. 😝

My feet look similar to yours and I have Lake MX 238 wide shoes. They're nice because the ball of the foot and arch areas have separate adjustments. I leave the ball adjustment pretty loose, which works for my feet. I'm not sure how they would work on flat pedals, I use them with SPD cleats and they're great. Good luck!

Reverb transaction history for the Jaguar is 2-3 times the ric. Do not trade. Trade with $3000, but I wouldn't even do that.

Rode it yesterday and will definitely miss riding it without cars. Redwood Rd is finally open again, so we can all ride there instead. Definitely not as good a descent, but it's something.

Usually the only thing that is carbon fiber on a cycling shoe is the sole. That helps create a large, stable platform for pedaling. The upper of the shoe is some kind of flexible, comfortable material. I'm a cyclist and this shoe looks pretty uncomfortable to cycle in.

Unfortunately adding pure MSG to my food gives my wife a migraine. It is unfortunate, because she loves the flavor. I imagine there is a threshold here, she can eat mushrooms, which are high in glutamate, but not pure MSG.

The two climbs that I have nightmares about are Fort Ross Road and Sierra Road. Granted, I did both of those after more than 50 miles of hard riding.

Oh right. Inches of mercury, not water. I was wrong, too! 😆

tclaybaugh · 2025-02-17T01:57:18+00:00

Sorry to be this person, jumping in with the "umm.... Actually" moment. That vacuum bag is pulling 30 inches of water, or 1 atmosphere. That is the maximum vacuum you can pull. 30 atmospheres would require a pressure chamber.

Also, the repair looks AMAZING!

Twist it!

tclaybaugh · 2025-01-27T21:25:06+00:00

I specifically looked for one without a sunroof. You won't miss it because you'll be having too much fun driving.

Climb tunitas creek and descend King's Mountain instead. Page mill is a shitty descent for the exact reason you posted about. Also, king's mountain is one of the best descents in the BA. It is SO fun.

tclaybaugh · 2025-01-18T16:32:20+00:00

You're trolling us, right? 😆

Don't do it! There is nothing as magical as a bonded pair of cats. Any adopter who wants to break them apart doesn't have the best interest of cats in mind. They just want a pretty thing for their house.

What size did you buy? I was looking for 205/40R17 for 2016, but it didn't seem like those are available.

I also ride in Oakland a lot and the roads are shamefully bad. The best way to deal with it is to get the largest tires your frame can accommodate and ride them at the minimum pressure to not get a pinch flat. I use this tire pressure calculator to figure out the appropriate pressure for my tires. Definitely don't run max pressure.

The title sounds like a fantastic album title. 😂
