OHH... shit! Didn't know.

Tripel B is always a good beer. I really like Flyin' Monks also.

Nelo's also has the tools to face head tubes and BB's.

Dt Swiss are the benchmark aluminum wheels for me. I have a set of XM 481's that have been on three bikes and two sets of hubs. I also have a set of Nextie carbon that have been excellent so far. As far as saving weight carbon is negligible, the difference in weight between the carbon and aluminum is 186 grams for the set, not a game changer. Where I think the carbon excels is in lateral stiffness the carbon wheels track better and stay on line through the chunky stuff, the aluminum has a bit of lateral flex that is noticeable in the rough stuff. Just my two cents worth.

Remove one spoke on each side of hub and measure with a metric ruler or tape measure.

Somebody should let this guy know that clipless are faster than flats.

When you say proof readers do you mean spell check or predictive text?

At COTA? Was there with wife. Great show!

How do you lose a wheelchair?

If we wait a few more years we should be able to get affordable Walmart e-bikes🤣 On a serious note just think of all the Walmart e-bikes finding their way into landfills in the not so far future. I say this because we all know that Walmart will eventually be selling e-bikes.

Hoping for the best outcome dude!

8-9 will work on 10 speed. 10 speed ring has narrower teeth. 10 speed chain on 8-9 ring probably not.

He probably enjoys anal also🤣

That really sucks dude! Hope you recover OK. Good vibes. Look forward to riding with you again!

Presta valves weigh less than Schrader.

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.

Hope you didn't forget the cover sheet for your TPS report😂

Recently did a damper swap on my Yari. I used denatured alcohol to clean everything like I have done many times in the past on fork services but unfortunately not the best choice for this particular fork, the denatured alcohol discolored all of the matte black finishes on the fork. I don't know what kind of finish they're using but it is obviously not very durable when denatured alcohol can discolor it.

Probably these. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-atomik-berd-xc-wide-wheels.html

The rocks were like ice around 10:00 yesterday morning.

I'd go. Been there a couple times. Nothing too technical just some rock garden areas as I recall.

I've thought about a mouth guard on occasion to protect the teeth in an impact. The only problem for me with a mouth guard would be breathing I can't breathe through my nose well enough to get enough air.

I don't know that the rails from the Fabric saddle come out. I believe the rails are cast into the saddle but I could be wrong.

I went to it when it was in Austin years ago. Pretty cool to check out all the hand built stuff.

David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist. So much feeling when he plays.
