How'd the 2023 Dragon Slayer go for you?
schoolie replied to WhoAmI's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
This is the route we did in '21 and '23. Clockwise, starting at Russell Park, with a bit of extra at the dam. https://www.strava.com/segments/29906417?filter=overall -
How'd the 2023 Dragon Slayer go for you?
schoolie replied to WhoAmI's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
Laps: 3.3 Route: Of course! How many times: 4x Weather: Nearly perfect... a little slick and spicy off the start (would it be a DS without slippy limestone?), a tad warm for my tastes on lap 2, but for a 12hr window in CenTX in Dec, it don't get much better π Recap: Lots of rocks. Fun times with cool people. Bikes bikes bikes! -
Old (mid 2000s?) Fox Fork parts. Pretty sure there's enough here to put together a nice 26" 32mm stanchion fork. Kid's bike maybe? Located in NW Cedar Park.

What a great story.

Rear axle keeps slipping on On-One Singlespeed
schoolie replied to Albert's topic in Mountain Biking Discussion
Yep, exactly. My karate monkey does the same thing. Right side dropout never slides forward under pedal loads because the chain tugs hold it back, but left side slides backwards if I stab the brakes too hard and the axle isn't tight (no sliding dropout on the monkey, just track ends). -

+1 for NiteRider Lumina. I run one on my head, one on the bars, and have never had a problem. Great little lights! Happened to notice this today: https://bikecloset.com/product/lumina-1000-boost/?gclid=CjwKCAiA7dKMBhBCEiwAO_crFOGEeZ0nntfm9IBlQ_GL4YxaehKu8JX0kIztJ_0lZtaWyTJZ4ydwgBoC1ggQAvD_BwE

Well that's pretty cool. Sometimes people are awesome π -
I'm not them, but I run Time pedals with 5-10 Kestrels so I'll chime in π High level review, they're my favorite shoes I've owned so far. These are close to two years old, so 2-4k miles? I don't track stuff as closely as Barry (and I don't ride as much eitherπ) They did spend about half their life with these little Crank Brothers cleat shims installed. When I first got the shoes, they were pretty tight on my (brand new) pedals, and a little tricky to unclip. Installing the shims got things back to "normal" and also helped prevent wear on the shoe itself. I removed them early this year to tighten clip/unclip action back up as my pedals wore in, and I've been happy with that too. I'd say it's worth buying a pair and seeing if you like them! The only thing I'd gripe about the shoes is the BOA placement. Having them on the side of the shoe makes them fairly susceptible to rock strikes. I've knocked one of each side off, but the replacement program is great (and free!). And on trail it's not that big of an emergency as long as the "lace" stays intact, which it has both times I've killed them. This one happened in the middle of a ~30mile ride out in Colorado. Grabbed a stick and twisted till it was tight. Got me home no problem!

Ok, that was really cool. Can't imagine how long it took to edit all that together!

Did a heatmap-less wander over there this afternoon. Managed to find my way from the toll road to the pool halfway into the neighborhood! Pretty neat π It may be worth cleaning it up a bit before officially including it in the 3B, but it's borderline as is. Less road and more trail is definitely a win!

Upgraded to an E-Verb, time for this to go π Has the quick connect fitting so you shouldn't have to bleed it to install it. Tiny bit of squish, but works great other than that. Asking $150.

Drones are cool. Bikes are cool too, and especially bikes in Moab.

Neat! Thanks for sharing π

Thanks for the info guys! My immediate need is over, did the big run today βΊοΈ. Didn't end up needing a water stop today anyway, so we didn't confirm that the Zilker fountains were actually on.
-
Called 311, they said the fountains at Zilker are on... we'll see! Also, I remembered the TacoDeli at Spyglass as a backup in case that doesn't work.
-
I'm planning a big greenbelt day Friday... does anyone know if the Zilker fountains are running? Last time I was down there a few weeks ago, they were still off due to the cold snap. On that note, is there anywhere else in/near the greenbelt where water's publicly available? Seems like there was a fountain near some tennis courts somewhere, but it's been so long since I filled up there I can't remember where it was, lol. Thanks!

I see what you did there
