TC: I’ve only ridden one of my four meat bikes since getting my gall bladder removed in January. I’ve succumbed to ebike life.

So can you guys tell us how many watts a gallbladder is worth then?
I lost 20 pounds in the 6 weeks I couldn’t eat fat or alcohol while receiving from an infected pancreas and liver before my gall bladder game out. That’s with a few right there

You don’t know until you know. Also, old parts are fun sometimes too. And figuring which old parts are for you and which aren’t is part of the fun.

Now you get to rebuild the wheels with a dynamo front hub and 8-11s hyperglide rear!

TC: was super tired w/ 10 miles left of 50 riding some double track, picked up a stick, said “i shouldn’t pedal,” pedaled anyway, blew up my RD, chain into spokes, 30 min getting it into a manageable gear, now i’m waiting on a new RD and the weather is as good as it’s been all year. i’m so dumb sometimes

What cassette? I’ve got a 12 spd 10-51 and am happy with the top end, however our capabilities differ drastically.
