Hoping do some socially distant xc skiing/biking Le fat once I get caught up on $work$
Kids have transitioned quite nicely to week 2 of extended spring break, as long as the Nintendo Switch and cell phone (respectively) are fully charged...
And there has been a repeat of previous years sledding off da roof which is (not yet) on fire...
On that note BRB
Found the right thread to post this. Forkx36 arrived. Looks fine, never serviced. Found a yuge glob of slick honey around the seal head. Luftkappe installieren jetzt!
They dropped off their bikes. I fixed them. I texted them they were done. I left them by the gas grill. They picked them up and Venmo payment made. Need a truing stand and a headset press.
You cannot properly service a wheel without a Stand. You cannot install a headset without a press. Pretty much always...You don't.
I believe this also works with their bb drifts
I built a bunch of wheels and used fork or frame to true them. Not a big deal.
I have a bearing press and while it works for suspension pivots etc., it sucks for headsets. The ole good hammer + wood blocks works the best for headsets for me.
Something about Boomers...

They are now practicing social distancing, but damn.www.buzzfeednews.com
It has taken some effort to get through to my Trump luvin 80+ year old parents about how deadly this thing is. They get it now, but holy shit do they believe Herr Twitler is doing his best and making excuses or flat out denying the slow response.
I'm an only child and am doing everything I can to keep them safe. But it gets really frustrating when my dad gets all frothy over any criticism of dear leader.
Here’s the frothing from a med school classmate of mine. I don’t have enough facepalms for him.
Was up there Thursday and was quite surprised at the number of cars in the lots. I was considering only hiking when it's raining just to avoid the mouth-breathers.
Saturday I rode for a bit on the greenway and, again was blown away by the number of people out in groups.
One good thing was that I hadn't ridden in weeks but was able to effortlessly haul ass towards anyone who looked like they would require encouragement to move out of my way. Should not be this fit for as little as I ride. Sucks now that the park is closed. Hopefully I won't loose to much fitness.
Admission requirements down a bit ?
I haves had too many beers. Excuse me from being pointless...
So, tenant moved out. Her daughter came back from Mexico today, they are quarantined for two weeks before she can go back to work. Glad it’s not here. She was the best tenant ever, though.
He must be swiping the good meds from the pharmacy
Hey As an old fucker I get to go shopping at Costco at 8am tomorrow with all the other old farts while the young uns have to wait until 9
We be locked down. Still allowed to buy food walk dogs and ride bikes. This affects my life 0%
Indeed. Same here. Besides timing our visits to the grocery store, life as usual.
Why?
i have one frame i used to use the 2x4 hammer for headset installation. if i were to build it up again, i'd need a chris king steel set. regular headsets i can push in by hand because the imprecision with that installation method started to ovalize it.
It just might be you?
Never had that problem. If soft wood and gentle tapping works for Sheldon, it is good enough for me as well.

Someone has daddy issues.
it was a 90's steel frame so there's also that. i did once hear of a rejected warranty claim once the company discovered that's how a headset was installed. second hand info from another mechanic but still.
I have never used a block of wood. Back when I couldn’t afford a proper Park press, I made one out of threaded rod, washers, and bolts. I think it cost less than $5.00. That was probably 1988.
i did that route in a pinch before. better than a 2x4 but not by a heck of a lot.
this is the cheaped i've found. i did get the drifts from CC to use with it as well
