That is really awesome. We went to RPR as well on Saturday. They've really improved their trail markings! Super impressed with you doing the steps and drops on Super D. I can't even imagine having the nerve to do that.

I thought it would be muddy at brushy so I headed to reville peak ranch. It was super dry. got a few clips. Super stoked I conquered the steps with the drop on super d

The one thing that college taught me was that you can dope on just about anything.

A breakthrough of sorts. Pulled the wheel off and took the dropouts sliders out. Bad news: Kona does a proprietary slider, so the Paragon sliders from my other bike will not work. But in taking the slider apart I noticed the drive-side dropout was severely grooved (see pic below). My gut was telling me that the sound was coming from the dropout, so this could be the culprit. I took a mini grinder and smoothed that down. I was also able to find an old 8-speed chain that fit it perfectly (the 9-speed chain was a little short and the slider was as far forward as possible so it was hitting the frame, not the adjustment screw. If this fixes it then I will probably replace the dropout and get a new chain while I am at it (not a big fan of running multiple magic links on a chain that gets high torque on hills). Anybody want to lay odds on the dropout being the problem? Ed, you were riding behind me and trying to listen so you had the best perspective.

Tomorrow looks like a rain day so I am going to play with the chain length and also see if the thru axle from my Vassago will fit on the Unit. I have heard rumors that the Kona unit also uses the paragon dropouts so I could see whether that wheel fits. If so I can try a thru axle first and if that does not work, circle back on your QR.

Txn, you’re right...my bad. 😞 And the win goes to ......BRIAN’S USED TIRES!

To be fair, the first post did not have the "all or none" part.

Great video. I enjoy Zwift. And I'll be kicking ass this summer.

Saw this the other day and thought of you X. Enjoy this dudes content from time to time

Before I read your text, when I saw the picture, I thought of the same show!

I thought I'd given all my 26" stuff to the @spicewookie but I just found what I think is a whole 26" rear wheel with a tire on it. I'll check it and send you an e-mail. I think it's going to be a Specialized Fastrak.

We headed to Pace Bend since we had the day off work. The trails were awesome and the weather was equally awesome.

It was a great day to be out riding today. Only came across a few other riders as I rode Snail, Rim, Picnic, and 1/4 notch this morning.

This place gets rowdy on 700x43s.

I found this rad Swift gym the other day. I might join but it sounds like it takes a long time to get 15M merits.

What's up with the apparent neo-Nazi presence? "Very good people on both sides," right? Nothing is more American than punching a fucking Nazi in the mouth.

Thank you, the last ten days sucked pretty badly. A couple days ago things turned around and she was awake and pretty normal. Everyday is a big improvement.

I am always up for that sort of thing. unfortunately, if you really want to ride "gravel roads," you have to start in Bastrop, Elgin, Lockhart, Llano, etc. that's a big time commitment because it's at least 2 hours of driving there and back in addition to a few hours of pedaling. I prefer to start most of my rides from my driveway. less time driving, more pedaling.
