Fixed it for ya!

I seem to buy something new when I read a thread like this and want to try some other stuff, and this is how I end up with 5-6 lube bottles.

Pro-Link is good stuff too.  One year I worked the pits for my Canadian friends at the RHR24 as well as a couple of locals.  There were 5 different types of lube being used and it was a messy race.  Pro-Link and R&R Gold seemed to have the cleanest chains with the least amount of grinding noise.

Been there. I worked a rainy 24hr at RHR one year  and was using Pedros SynLube and Phil Wood Tenacious Oil, liberally. Chains, brake pads, wills, and egos were being destroyed on every lap.

RR Gold, Pro Link, Tri-Flo on the used bikes/flippers. The best chain lube out there is the one that you use.

RR Gold is dandy on cables also.

I have a friend in KC who had a stroke 3 weeks ago at 51. Doctors and everyone who knows him said it was stress related and nothing to do with lifestyle or diet. He was in a coma for 6 days.

Don't drop the soap mfer

Cannondale saves aluminum Stump Humper from the recycling bin.

In with ribs.

Got this thing rolling today, it has a wheelie button.

Just wait for the ebikes 😮

Not a mountain bike but it is vintage and gets ridden occasionally. Early 80s Laguna frame and fork was saved from Yellow Bike a few years ago for a song.

I'm almost ready to get started on this one . 1941 Schwinn Autocycle built as a late 70's bay area clunker hybrid. Inspired by the bikes below on http://clunkers.net/index.html

The stuff on the shifters was old lube residue. A little BO on a rag and they wiped clean. Zep Big Orange is the shit. Works awesome on chains also.

and I laughed when I saw the CL ad still posted this morning before I made this post. of fourse idiot wasn't able to delete the CL ad after selling it. because he is in JAIL! 

Lots of fun to be had with his phone number.

WB is 43.25", rear end is 18,25, frame is a large. It's pretty cool to pedal around, the M700 shifters are the smoothest friction shifters I've ever felt, rides really nice like an old steel frame should, but it is a Cadillac, like an old one with a tired big block and drum brakes and a janky transmission. Way more fun to look at than ride.

Vintage tires are hard to come by and usually cost an arm and a leg if you can find them. Would look awesome with some Farmer Johns, Snakebellies, Schwinn Maximizers.

Picked this up Saturday morning and it was a perfect rainy weekend project. Stag Head M700 group was the precursor to the Deore Mountain line. The Deore stuff was around back then but only as a lightweight touring group set

I got to ride that ramp briefly, thing was huge and scary to just carve around on, most vert I've ever seen. Can't imagine being 15 feet over the coping.

Drinking Lone Stars with some legends.

Did you watch that 30 for 30?  Everyone should.

I've had the privilege to meet Mat and shmooze  a couple times. He's a real life ironman.

Cheap hardtail anyone?

I don't want to research it, but I wonder if there is a case of a woman who trans'd to a man, taking hormone treatments, overtook the men due to the medications.  University grant, here I come!

The procedure is called an adadichtomy.

Not a good choice. Great Stuff crushes the firs time it has pressure on it. I does NOT rebound. So it might cushion one impact but then it is useless.

Really?

Your gambling out there without a full face. Taking a spill in a turn is one thing when you're already going slow, but clipping a tree with your bars at the speeds we were hitting could make for a real ugly wreck. There are no emergency rooms that I know of anywhere in that area and that greatly increases the chances for a helicopter ride.
