In preparation for painting my daughter's bike I made some 3D printed masking plugs for the areas that shouldn't be painted. The head tube and seat tube are a slight press fit, the brake posts are held in by an old pair of bolts and the BB has a rubber band keeping them in place.

Lunch date with Emma and the boys!

Finally got my cheap Chinese 24” disc wheelset in today from Ali express and was pleasantly surprised in what I got! Sealed bearing hubs with what feels like a decent amount of engagement. I haven’t put them on the truing stand yet, but to the casual spin seem reasonably true. And i might be wrong but I think I can make them tubeless easily. After I take the kids for a ride tomorrow morning I’ll start stripping down my daughter’s bike and building it up with the good stuff! Hope to have some pictures up of the build by Monday evening.

The clear is the trickiest part. It likes to RUN. Go easy with it. It also makes the colored powder coat/paint run.

I have far less experience than it sounds X has but I'm pretty happy so far. It helps that the frame wasn't in good shape to begin with.

1/4 notch is primo! Go get some. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1.3.2021: The sale is happening: bicyclesportshop.com/sale/ Garmin Edge 530, 820 1030 -- all significantly marked down. Garmin Edge 820 is $244. This is just the Edge, not a bundle. Items are listed randomly. For example, other Garmin things (like mounts) are scattered around. Easiest to filter by brand if you know what you want.

I’m about to saddle up and pedal to brushy from my house. I’ll reply to your Twitter for better visibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

White and teal.

Roads around McDade part of the Adios MOFO 2020 ride starting from the rising sun winery. My Garmin is not syncing with Strava but as soon as it posts I’ll share it.

I have a set of SRAM Guide brakes, but I wouldn't want your daughter to hate me for it.

1/2/2021 Talked to a family on Rudolph today at 2 pm. Tall guy with a vandyke beard, woman, and baby in a stroller. Discussed our problem. He said he runs that trail all the time. "I'll keep an eye out." I go up the trail and find three blockages. Not that they did it, but interesting that they didn't clear those easy to clear things. But I know that hikers rarely do any sort of trail maintenance at all.

Nice work Hoss. What was your route?

First time seeing this one from Karbach. Belgian Golden Ale with some floral notes.

Cleaned the face slappers off Gnargasm only... mushy in low shady areas still. Sunny areas were fine.. the guys I saw riding had reflectors so yea Can't speak to the rest of the area but assuming it mush Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Come with me next time, we'll hike it and you can appreciate it even more 😀

Not too long ago. Hoping we have more fun in 21. ✌️.

I designed and printed a few cable guides for my dropper. Routing is pretty limited on this bike so the guides are needed to keep it out of the suspension, rear tire and pedals. Testing two styles, hopefully tonight if the weather holds up.

Interesting is right...
