Youtube has suggested 3 videos to me recently about what it's like to smoke crack and I have no idea why.
It's meth here. More bang for the buck. All tweakend long, baby.
You should celebrate by buying a bike or frame…
Last day at the airline. Doubt I'll make it past lunch.
Hello homeboys! Stayed up late last night watching Rebel Moon which might be objectively terrible but it’s also very long.
Working on the new bike a bit, trying to sort it before I start changing things up. Trying to trouble shoot a front wheel that “pings” when I put lateral force into it. Something I’ve never seen before, honestly. I tried adding truing, adding tension and balancing tension by ear as well. Should be OK but I’m wondering if there’s anything else to keep an eye on.

Wife, her sister, and my sister have a beach house rented Mon-Thurs at Carolina Beach by Wilmington. I said you may want to take a kite, or better yet some floaties. lol. I’ll be at home in the hills riding my bike.
On a serious note-my aunt and uncle have a house on Hilton Head Island where I heard 20+” of rain could fall…I hope not.
20" of rain is kind of apocalyptic.
overcast and 58 this morning only going up to 86. Making espresso then I will go feed my wifes horse it's grain before manning the aid station
That’s what the weather man said..Hopefully the models are over predicting..
Geolocation
We've gotten 8" from hurricane "remnants "
Back home. Gonna have a bagel then fire up ye olde chainsaw.
More humid bullshit today and I ran 14 miles. Pretty tired legs after racing yesterday but I got it done. Waffles are in the iron nao.
I need to drop Wife off at the airport for her 12 day girls' trip, and then my boss has the week off from work. The coming week is going to be very quiet.

/me just mowed the lawns. we are off to the American Ninja Warrior park in a bit. I will try not to injure my aged body
To an extent yes, but not when you see a $50k concrete gig and $20k of crane rental before you even buy a stick of lumber
Can you define that A bit for me? The spokes certainly feel “stuck” to one another where they cross. Brake side is 2x or 3x (I can never tell) and non drive/brake side is strait laced. There’s a spot of rust on several of them at the crossing. Not sure if I can lube or anti-seize these spots, or if they will simply break in as the bike is ridden (no idea if it’s sat for a while). Or some emery cloth?
As I tightened a few of the spokes, I heard a bit of pinging- I wonder if it’s the spokes winding and unwinding due to binding or something. I need to ride it a bit and see if the re-tensioning helped.
Can you tell if any sort of thread prep was used?
In my experience this usually because of low tension or lack of stress relief which will ultimately lead to low tension. also could be if laced incorrectly or a noodley rim.
Morning. 2 Grad parties yesterday and drinks with friends = a late night for me. Still up early. Taught a trumpet lesson and now we are figuring out a bee situation...youngest daughter has had bees in her room (paper wasps specifically) and we can hear them in the ceiling above her closet.
What it is, what it is...
My hardtail has been driving me bat shit crazy with extensive creaking while hammering up hill. I took apart, cleaned, reinstalled entire rear hub. No difference. Took apart crankset, cleaned, lubed, put back together. No difference.
I finally pulled the BB and found that nobody faced the god damn bottom bracket. Mission accomplished, looks way better. BB looks to be making full contact instead of 40% like before.
Test ride later if the smoke blows out.
My lower back is finally telling me to get fuct after 10,000 miles of planes and cars and moving vans. I'm almost done unpacking my business so back needs to hold on a little longer.

is that cottonwood?
¿Montarmono?
I'm on the East Coast. Maple.
My 38 year streak of never witnessing anyone get engaged was broken last night, when a fella proposed to his lady of 20 years. At the pizza restaurant.
We've got cottonwood on the East coast, though I think more people call them poplars round these parts.
Aren't you worried that you are going to be deported back to North Korea? It seems as if Westy has already been deported as we haven't heard much from him? I will miss you.
Last day at the airline. Doubt I'll make it past lunch.
Maybe that's what happened to Kidwoo?
Yesterday was new(used) bike day, today is go for a shakedown cruise then see Bonamassa tonight...neighborhood picnic too, so its not all good stuff...
I agree with Westy, sounds like a tension thing. but rubbing some oil on the spokes at crossing points may help as well.
to tell cross pattern just count how many times other spokes cross a given spoke from flange to rim. the first cross with 3x can be very close to the flange so don't be fooled.
