I switched my rando from 650b to 700câŚthe bike probably doesnât handle as well with the larger wheels + smaller tire combination.
I take this back. Did a bunch of mixed terrain yesterday and today and it rides great. Think I was just tired + rain riding poorly.
Character of the bike changed a lot. Trying not to 1mmâer but felt a lot taller immediately and the bike felt better at high speed. Feels faster overall as well, which is what I really wanted. Big 650b can feel like a drag long distance this time of year.

âIs this bicycle bad and stupid or am I just tiredâ is something I have to ponder often.

I ponder that often as well.
This will go in a future bike I am piecing together but for now will be going on the current bike.

I might source a lighter cassette but everything look good
I put a b17 on my Bullitt. It replaced a really cool Berthoud that was fine but nothing is as comfortable for my buns as a b17 standard. Also put some air in the post while I had the saddle off.
I love this thing so much.

Oh goddamnit.
The conspiracy theories that proliferated after Sept. 11, 2001, found, in Pike, a receptive audience. He already loved alternative historiesâŚ. Despite reams of evidence against the attacks being some intricate âinside job,â Pike didnât buy any of the official explanations.
The author lost all credibility with the link to the Council of Foreign Relations on how 9/11 was not actually a conspiracy.
I could really go off here. I donât believe that anti-Zionism and anti-semitism are the same thing. I think equating Judaism with the state of Israel is equivalent to conceding America to the Christi-fascists.
Do I believe there are war-mongering capitalists? Yes. Do I believe factions of the intelligence community promote war for profit? Yes. Do I believe 9/11 was orchestrated by one of these factions to enable a decades long war on the other side of the globe? Also yes. Was Israeli intelligence involved? Yeah probably. Saudiâs too. Cancel me.
Also, the interview with Pike stuff⌠he came off as a guy who smoked way too much weed and didnât handle Covid isolation very well. It really broke a lot of peoplesâ brains.

Theyâre obviously not. My best friend since childhood is an atheist, anti-Zionist Jewish person. He comes from a very religious, very Zionist family.
But the author of the Pike hit piece implies they are. I know nothing about David Icke; that said, I didnât see any quotes from Matt Pike in that article that damned him. It all seemed like guilt by association. And the association rests heavily on writing stoner sci-fi lyrics based on someone elseâs conspiracy theories.
Iâm going to go play Splatoon 3 now.

David Icke is a certified anti semitic conspiracy loon. Like, the granddaddy of them all. Matt Pike seems to spend a lot of time smoking weed and doing internet research and in general taking the Joe Rogan approach of looking at everything with an open mind to the point where his brain fell out. Like, sure, maybe 9-11 was an inside job but it sure didnât have to be and probably wasnât simply through Occamâs razor of most shit that intelligence does leaking eventually.

Yeah Matt Pikeâs brain is fried, no getting around that.
Still wrote some music I love, even though Om is better than Sleep imo. Now we just gotta keep Al from saying something stupid.
