@scott_dourque had a midnight special with paint penned dots a while back that looked awesome. Not sure if he posted it? Post your dots!

Replaced the front fender bolt at the fork crown on the Boost because the stock one wasnāt even long enough to engage the nylon in the lock nut.
Bought a bunch of low profile stainless M5 Torx bolts at the same time, so a lot of my bikes are going to get new bottle cage bolts soon. Death to all the stainless M5 button head bolts with 3mm Allen heads.

It me, the buyer and installer of those bolts. We save out worst behavior for those closest to us.

but torx also kinda sucks.
What? Torx is awesome. The only part I donāt like is you can use an undersized tool and still get it to workā¦ right until it doesnāt.
Hmm, and I guess thereās not a torx equivalent of a ball-end hex driver.

Did some of this last night and it was very satisfying. Once the 3mm stuff is swapped out, next will be figuring out if my mind is okay with some bikes having T25 for one bottle cage and a regular 4mm M5 for the other (the cages that donāt need bolts with low profile heads). Pretty sure I know how thatās going to end.
And also Iām gonna end up buying a Wiha T25 soft finish screwdriver.

i did this with a bikeās worth of titanium T25 bolts and it was the beeās knees. would recommend
I had looked at some Ti stuff on McMaster before and totally forgot when it was time to order. Looking now, thereās no Ti option for these two particular fasteners now anyway, would have been cool tho.
I just ordered some custom Ti fasteners for work. United Titanium has no MOQ I ordered like 36 screws and they were like $55 ea or so which isnāt too terrible.

Made some bag holders out of leftover webbing and webbing parts and a couple of s-biners consumed while shopping for fender flap materials.

those look like snowboards
Are those the grey ones? Iām about to buy a second pair. I love the ones I got from you. Best pedals ever.
Yup, those are the grey ones. A little lighter in color than whatās shown on their website, but a nice change from black.
I finally got around to putting the grey market XT dangler and clicker on the XC bike. The SLX will go on the enduro bike, since I keep roaching GX pulleys.
Tomorrow, Iām going to swap the remote lockout to a manual compression knob on the 34SC. Iām still undecided on how Iām going to tackle the rear lockout removal.
