so you won't commit to anything. no surprise there

Epoch's YouTube commercial claiming their office in China was broken into was hilarious. They are 12mos away from selling silver boner pills.

My neighbors like this track😁

Same. We lived in downtown Buda and was stoked to see them breaking ground (and also deep eddy coming) but they opened with only 4 taps and once weekly. Also was a bit baffled that their tasting room was in the back (?) They started to add some good beers and got a steady foodtruck but it guess it didn't pan out. Really liked their racepoint IPA and hope they make it but........ The ones that will make it are aggressive, offering things like curbside, home delivery, hand sanitizer and namesake beers. Being able to order online, pay through google or PP, pull up and have my sh*t loaded in the trunk or bed goes a long way.

Two wheel brewing in Buda.

This^ My local-ish brewery went up for sale in February and from what i understand has closed its doors as now late. They had a lot of potential, but poor planning and execution so no surprise there. The market was just too saturated and everyone thought they'd be the next Karbach and was taking that seed money hoping it'd pay off.

That's a good thing for sure because the news isn't too good, but was bound to happen at some point with such a leveraged industry. https://www.americancraftbeer.com/texas-craft-brewers-guild-finds-71-decline-in-brewery-sales-due-to-covid-19/ At this point, ive been supporting whatever i can get curbside at spec's

Found em. It's the Hylex RS, and i've read TRP will sell the levers separately if you contact them. As far as compatibility, I wouldn't worry too much as long as the master can provide enough volume for the piston in your existing caliper it'll work fine. Most levers will work with any caliper just the modulation will be different based on master/caliper size ratios, but on gravel bike that really shouldn't be a huge issue. We've run Saint 4 piston calipers with XTR levers and they work great. https://trpcycling.com/product/hylex-rs/ If all else, you can always find a set of Spyre SLC on the cheap

Don't pollute a positive thread with rehashed arguing. You have plenty of your own zombie threads that nobody responds to, that you can play in.

As I recall, Trp makes just drop hydraulic levers that would work with SS

We've been playing GWD for about a decade and now have now switched to the virtual coronagame. Pretty fun with zoom, booze and a few friends. https://www.geekswhodrink.com/

Why create direct conflict by picketing people who are too stupid follow rules? Take that energy directly to the officials who are paid by us to run our cities. After coronageddon, I think people are going to be a little less patient with the continued status quo from our "leaders". In a position of leadership you're either competent , complicit or negligent. We can't take the boot off of them long enough to make excuses. rant/ off (again)

Or we could just hold our city officials and enforcers accountable for not doing their jobs.

Chernobyl cycling team?

Seems appropriate.

Been keeping it local. The Rye gin is damn good and have enjoyed the bourbon as well. FYI, they do curbside😎

So basically, it takes a virus to stop a virus. We live in a neighborhood that the city has bought homes due to the 2013/2015 floods and within weeks of vacating a home the place looks like its been abandoned for years. Vegetation, deer and other various wildlife have completely taken over blocks of streets that used to have luxury homes. Surreal. Nature will reclaim the earth when we stop f@cking with it.

I'm probably the oddball here and just do not care for pizza. If we do have pizza it's margarita on cauliflower.

Christ man, that's heavy. Best to you and your family. At this point i have zero tolerance for the people who aren't taking this seriously. Numerous times i've had to tell people to stop whining, and remind them how lucky they are to not be going home in a f*cking bag today. sorry, another rant/ off

On the bright side, Spec's Brodie is doing curbside again.

A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America. Heard an interview with the author on NPR and immediately became interested. Book had sat for months with the others I haven't gotten to yet but, in light of current events it seems pretty relevant and worth getting back into.

Truth be told, I didn't support the LBS this weekend. I did however give a bike shop at ground zero for the pandemic in NYC my business. Figured if anyone could use the money, it's those guys. Needless to say, the package will be sitting in the "decontamination station" for a while😷 https://bikeahead.com/
