The gate is a lie! It’s just a figment of our common reality, and the crackhead, as some who operates orthogonal to our reality, will just pass through it using his witching ways.

I’m real confused. What are you guys talking about?
That old gate is in the back end of Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.

I thought it was jabbing at chicagoans because were supposed to hate St. Louis

Put some SPDs on the Endpoint to replace the ATACs I have used for the last 10 years. Damn, I forgot what it felt like to not have that slippy, free-floating feeling of ATACs. I think I like it. It feels a lot less sloppy.

Also, the cleat positioned as far outboard on the shoe as possible (for minimum Q) definitely brings my feet closer together than on the Times, even after I do that ā€œkick my feet togetherā€ thing.

Clipping in is a little weird, though I’m pretty sure I’ll get used to it. That might have as much to do with the different cleat position than anything.

Yes. Times have a narrower q than spd

XT plus a matched Shimano shoe gives a near road pedal like feeling atmo. For yolo riding it’s way better than Time. Only thing better is the Speedplay syzr but those are fussy to maintain so fuckit.

Fixed my derailleurs! After all these years I finally get how to balance B and ā€œPā€ tension to get the G pulley good and tukt. Makes me feel like an elite mech but this’ll pass I’m sure.

Could this be the mystery buzz(?) from inside my shifters?

hmmmm. What makes things buzz ? Could be. The one on the end of the ratchet/pawl, you wouldn’t think would cause a buzz, there is one on the end of the paddle mechanism that seems to break off as well. I didn’t see a failure on the one that holds the brake lever on, its pretty big. I’d probably start by tweaking the bolt that tightens the brake assembley to the handlebar. They are very simple brakes to play with if you want to dither. SRAM online parts PDF here.

I have a mystery buzz in a not-broken Alfine 8spd shifter, and I’m pretty sure it’s the red needle in the gear indicator. Anything is possible!

I voided my warranty today.

Took the fun purple grips off the Katu and replaced them with boring black because it seemed like too much pressure to accessorize with other fun colors and I just can’t be bothered.

What dropper Igor? I’ve been looking for a silver setback dropper and they’re rare to the max of course.

Please let there be a VO dropper coming.
