I think you should name it “Bi-Annual”. Because it’s about bicycles, and it’s annual. Too bad it’s not monthly. Then you could name it “Monthly Cycle”.

Fine. I Quit! You’ll be sorry you crossed me when I publish my biannual bike magazine, “Bi-Bi-Annual”.

Picked some of this up on the way home today. Great spin on the traditional IPA without the "i just ate a rear view mirror air freshener" aftertaste.

Soooper light, and very comfy. Hopefully I can sneak out tomorrow morning to test ride it. The neighbor is going to come spend time with my wife, I need a break from care-giving. Just for a couple hours.

when B line joined Mojo, and began is constant "Blah" This movie scene always came to mind:

First cars are backing into walnut, now whole houses? That situation is out of control.

According to Kurt Vonnegut Jr., a "snarf" is a man who sniffs girls' bicycle seats.

Girls, girls...you're both pretty.

Near impossible to find in Austin, so I stock up when in Louisiana. Should get me through for a while.

That Black Quad was good but I'm seriously digging the Commissar!

Oh hell yeah son!!

Just picked some up at Randall's along with a Bomber 6-mix. Both on sale!

Of all places, HEB Bastrop. It's probably in all of them and spec's, but that was the first time i could try it out as a single ($2). Real Ale has some great stuff, especially for the money. I used their Black Quad to season a new oak barrel for a whiskey project. Wee Heavy is just bad ass for the price too! Have you checked out Vista Brewing yet? Have a buddy that works there and they are doing some great stuff. https://vistabrewingtx.com/destination-beer/

bwaaa haaaa haaaaa she'z building a helluva brand with the local MTB community🤣

I've found the most important things in wheel tension are making sure all the spokes are within 5% of each other and not exceeding the max tension for the rim. I have the Park tension meter and use it every time I build a set of wheels. Tension is more important than trueness. A properly tensioned wheel will stay true longer than one with tension all over the place. Tensioning by sound is ok for me if I'm on the trail and have an incident where I need to tighten a spoke but for actual building it's not that reliable. I've always found that I over tension the wheel when doing it by ear. Park also has an app for wheel tension that's pretty cool to make sure your spokes are evenly tensioned. The tension meter can also help you determine if a rim is repairable or just complete garbage. Aluminum wheels that have been severely taco'ed can only be re trued and evenly tensioned to an extent, as for carbon once the spoke tension is removed the rim goes back to its true state and can be re trued and evenly tensioned many times.

i have the park tension tool. I think it is worth it.

I have one of those too. In fact, I have all sorts of custom tools for different needs made out of modified tools.

Take a cheap flat screw driver and cut/ grind right angles out of the tip. Leave a point 2mm long in the middle. File it round. Now you have a nipple driver in five minutes.

Ooh! I've only ever had one other Brut IPA and I liked it. I love to try everything form Real Ale. Where did you pick this up? I like almost anything from Real Ale. In fact, I can only think of the Swifty as their only beer I don't like. Can't wait for them to invent a Brut de Brut!

I for one am excited to see the "tech section". Just an easy copy/paste tech articles from last century. It'll be riveting! And please oh please consider...... "Seat Sniffers" "Pedal Pushers" "Tight grips on hot tips"

Brilliant! And funny.

I call it “clearance rack chic”

It’s your wardrobe

you’re not pretty enough.

Saw that yesterday. Lifetime subscriber. That makes me sad. Definitely relevant to this thread.

Thrice as nice!

https://www.bikeradar.com/features/this-is-why-its-time-to-stop-using-presta-valves/ "As far as air retention, it comes down to the tube or the tubeless set up more so than the valve. “Both (valves) test similarly on air retention assessments,” according to Maxxis’ Brown." There's nothing superior about presta. The fears about that system are silly folk wisdom and memetic inertia.

Schraeder has a spring to keep the valve sealed while Presta uses air as the spring then has a way to lock this out. Both of these items are probably a non-issue on MTBs, but I'd be curious if they were ever a concern: Amount of force to overcome spring + tire pressure when inflating a Schrader vs a Presta only needing to overcome the tire pressure. At high wheel velocities, is it possible for the centripetal acceleration to open a Schraeder valve? At bicycle speeds, this is not likely, but at automobile/motorcycle racing speeds, this is a concern and hence why people use caps on them. With presta you can lockout the valve and not need a cap. I'm surprised there aren't alternatives to the Schraeder in the motor racing world.

Again, your habit is to copy/paste/post some BS that you'll never buy or do and then play victim and deflect so you never have to answer for it. ill keep calling you out in every one of your posts. how about these little masterpieces of your delusions? http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/14-austin-voodoo/100269-69er-67er-79er.html http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/14-austin-voodoo/100550-feedback-shimano-xt-fc-m8000-2-crankset.html http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/14-austin-voodoo/100612-feedback-local-riding-27-5-140mm-travel-vs-29-110mm-travel.html You're going on 3 years with these vaporware projects. Notice how at first people almost took you seriously and tried to help? Now you're just the running joke of this forum because you're a lifelong tire-kicker.

Hey HoneyBadger... Thinking a bit more about the handout I mentioned, I contacted IMBA about the problem in general and what experience they, or their members, may have had in successfully dealing with it... This was one thing they said has seemed to have some success...

Yo Mack. Buddy of mine just got healed up from a broken hand and wants to get in on this ride. Told him to not register on the website and let me contact you first. I’ll let y’all work out the compensation and registration transfer. Got an email contact I can reach out to you on?

And tonight’s, live from Lake Whitney SP.

We drove to Llano and headed south on Hwy 114. We followed a route I found on Ride With GPS but the first 12 miles were paved roads. Then some dirt, then we realized we had bitten off more than we could chew and headed straight back to Llano on Hwy 16. Better planning next time! 28+ miles, 1000 feet of climbing. Not bad at all for her second ride on this new bike.

Picked up this f/f set off the ebay and built it up with some goodies from the parts library. It's more of a go anywhere/hipster/urban bike.
