The three of us figuring out who's bike build makes the least sense

Wife ordered my XO1 derailleur for me yesterday for Xmas it turns out. Score.

Shop in tax free NH about 30min away has the XO1 crankset and cassette I want in stock at the store according to their site. Going to call in the AM to confirm and if they do may take older kid with me to get the rest of the build, sans pedals.

I am installing a new XX1 RD, cassette and chain as soon as the current drive train wears out.

Score. They had Covid 19 vaccination slots left over from groups one and two so they opened it up to group three and I got a slot. Get my shot on Sunday at 10:30 am

Happy Birthday! And enjoy you 5G chip.
Do they already schedule an appointment for you for the second shot when you get the first?

Seeing as though it is a National Monument and not a National Park, there are mountainbike trails on St. Helens. Fun but not amazing trails, but the point of riding them is being able to see a good chunk of the area that would normally take several days of hiking.

It would take me as long riding as hiking it. I stop every 100 meters to take pictures.

Registration is all on line. When you sign up for the first shot ( date and hour group of 40 people) it then pops up the appropriate date and group choices for the second shot. Everything is being done at St Rose Hospital in Hayward for EMS and FIre

You guys and your tycoon'esque drivetrains. I do believe I'll be replacing my GX with GX. In fact, I'll probably only replace the chain this winter to prolong the life of my cassette and chainring.

Whys the tax free part matter? Don't you declare your tax free NH purchases on your tax return so MA can collect?

I have been rotating 5 chains on e13 cassettes and a variety of chainrings for the past two years-ish. I came to a conclusion that excessive chain rotation hits a point of diminishing returns fast so no more than 2-3 chains from now on.

To be fair, you also ride quite a bit more than I do. I have probably 3.5 years on my current drivetrain, and maybe 1,000 miles or so.

Probably getting to be about time to show it some love.

I am running the same drivetrain that came with the bike in 2012. I actually had to jut go look to see what it was ( if it shifts I am ok with it and I run stuff until I break it.) SRAM X5 LOL

What are you using as a quick link to be swapping that much?

 

[StiHacka]

Sram chains with a few extra SRAM master links. I never had a problem with them.

Do you get to choose between 4G or 5G?

I'm more interested to know what happens if you get given the wrong provider and there's no coverage where you live.

And if I get an Apple mind control chip how do I let everyone know I have an Apple mind control chip?

I'm sure when your silhouette bursts into a dance they'll know right away.

Just fucking tell 'em. Repeatedly.

The mind control chip will take care of that for you.
