Futzed with the kid’s new bike a wee bit, seat up, bars down and rotated forward a wee bit. I think they’ll need a wee bit more futzing. Got the bottle cages and frame bag on, looks like she could fit a bigger bag on there. I wish I could actually ride the thing and see how it feels but alas I’m not clear to ride until the end of October. ![IMG_7537](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/7/3/7322f8a3882d5d89171362d1e7c4a45a91e471d8.jpeg) I also need to put her clipless pedals on. ---

Refreshed the Jones drivetrain: - Generic 34t x 0mm offset chainring (was 30t) - Shimano CN-HG601-11 chain - Shimano CS-M5100 cassette (11-51) The chainring was a tad noisy at first, but it quieted down after 30 miles or so. ![IMG_1413](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/b/9/b9703d70993bd0c5b5aaf7ef893c46688fb0a0c8.jpeg) ---

new cartridge into my dropper to restore functionalities and skinned an SLR for the bare carbon experience—it’s slippy! ![IMG_5605](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/d/f/df9a0210998464793d6b6ab778f89ebc1fe01e9a.jpeg) ---

Measure out to 32mm and ride just lovely. Had to take the fenders off but we’re heading into summer anyway. Data point: they’re 60g lighter each than the schwalbe one 28mm that were on there. ---

I rotated the tires on my mountain bike 180º. I got sick of seeing the ‘Schwalbe’ upside down next to the ‘Spank’ on the rim. Nobby Nic in Super Trail is a MASSIVE pain to get off the rim. Holy hell that bead. Ugh - wanted to swap on some Challenge 4 Stagioni tires on Snowaguchi, and see they have a peak PSI of 45. Yeah, not clydesdale worthy. Back in the box to return them, back to the drawing board for a slick 38c. ---

> [@cousinmosquito](#): > > …thing came into my coop so im refurbing it for a workmate. Shes not a cyclist at all but I told her its peak hipster. Swapped out some bits from my own collection too. The fork still works but will probably swap it for a steel one. I barely got it out of the car and a neighbour wanted the pedals and someone else wants the bullet brose chain tensioner. Probably someone wants the Clubroost bars too. Final state of the GT when I handed it over yesterday. It scrubbed up alright. Recipient loves it. ![20260907_123548](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/8/4/8484a7cfbbbeda3bba76a8e9734560e6d1f4d8d9.jpeg) ![20260907_123454](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/a/8/a8c190a98493f8513ba89e74f018a06d6fbdd04f.jpeg) ---

I was perfectly happy with steel bikes but had to go and swing this thing around and decide to get a carbon fork, and then an aluminum and carbon cross bike. Now my steel bikes are giving me none of it. I should have thrown the stupid thing away 11 years ago when the frame cracked :colbert: ---
