This reminds me, I took AustinBike's advice , as well as some others and for very  little money used the tool from Harbor Freight and a Silca chuck and I was good to go.

Worked great, thanks for the advice!

Is this for seating tires or just inflation?

 

Seating tires

I have gone through a couple products from

Prestacycle and have tried to cobble together some combo of fittings to use my compressor with my presta valves for inflation. 

I don't recommend Prestacycle products and cobbling fittings together hasn't proved successful 

So what do yall use? I am thinking I am gonna shell out for the spendy Park inflator just to have a reliable and working tool.

It cannot possibly be this hard 

Thanks

As to capital gains, make a spreadsheet and start scanning documents. I have a pretty organized system. Don't count on trying to find paper receipts when you sell, years from now. 

What type of receipts\documents do you keep?

Yeah, if it’s the Garmin the owner hopped in on our group ride yesterday. His first time there so didn’t know trail but thinks he lost it after new edition lollipop heading back to redhorn.  He’s been off the bike for a while so probably not on here. See his post on the suburban ninja fb group or ping me some contact info and I’ll relay it to him. 

Hey were you in the group at the end  of Katy ln riding around the cul de sac?

I went by all yallz in the AM. 

Scott texted me and I reached out. 

I'll return it to him 

Thanks 

Riding SN this morning and found a device.

Hit me up and let me know what I found and I will happily get it back to you.

I don't do FB so if someone asked if their thing was found today on SN on FB , let me know

And I can try and get this returned back to its rightful owner.

Thanks JB!

I have a gravel tire I need to change.  I’m willing to poke holes in it to test.  I also have some orange seal I got as a lap prize at a dragonslayer if anyone wants it.

I love Orange Seal , Sure!

I had booked a site at Coler Campground on Fri Oct 15 2021 - Sun Oct 17 2021 but will not be able to make that now. https://www.peelcompton.org/coler-mountain-bike-preserve/camping/

I have stayed there before and it is pretty nice, This specific weekend is the Oz Trails offroad races and events https://epicrides.com/events/oz-trails-off-road/event-guide/

I am into the site for $30 if anyone is interested in it let me know

Thanks

So happy for you !

Good to hear. I stuck my head outside this week and the heat is finally breaking, so I might go for my usual "Nap on the Trail Ride" if you need some recovery rides.

I have known you long enough to know you disappear in late spring only to emerge in the fall. Ill ping ya. 

So this came off the rack and no one had decency to stop and help or anything? I hope you find it and whoever has it isnt a dirtbag and kept it. Maybe they are trying to find you.  Notify the shops in case there is damage and they take it in to repair.

Damn dude, I wondered why I hadn't seen any activity from you for a long time. Hopefully no surgery.

Nope. Broke at the sternum.  

Hey guys, Snapped a spoke this afternoon at Brushy. Im am very certain it was due to rock impact after kicking one up hard and I see the impact on the spoke. 

So I wont repair this myself and my question is then do all the spoke need replaced? Or just the one.

This is the original wheel and is just under 4 yrs old. Not sure how to approach this the best way. 

I told my wife it meant a new ride but she didnt buy that 

So Sunday will mark 10 weeks since I broke my collar bone and dislocated my shoulder. I am back on the bike and had a couple rides from Brushy up through SN in the last week or so.

Tonight I tackled Picnic and 1/4 and Rim. I unfortunately snapped a spoke exiting Rim and took the walk of shame back, But damn it felt good to be back in the saddle
