We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
I drive a 99 Mazda 323, I spent $250 on parts today, that's a big spend coz in its 22 years it has only needed less than 1k of parts.
I don't look forward to having anything more modern, I have some CAN BUS fault finding to do at work next week and I really don't want to do it.
Yesterday I did something I haven't done in a long time, if ever.
I bought brand new pedals.
For years and years I had a fleet of M636 pedals that I was limping along, until @Serial Midget gifted me a set of XT trail pedals back in 2016. Those have been on the trail bike since then, and they're freaking CLAPPED out, really bad. The bearings are shot, the whole pedal body just wobbles around on the spindle like a drunk epileptic nun. So I did, bought brand new pedals. I seriously can't remember the last time that happened... I'd honestly suspect it was the 90s.
