I redid the tape and added new sealant on the front wheel, it required two trips to work to use the compressor.
Added some extra sealant to the rear through the valve like a
Caveman because the bead was so well sealed.
The stem in this thing is really tight on the steerer tube so I had to use two pennies and thread the bolts backwards to get it set up correctly.
I’m really thinking this thing needs some sort of pizza rack.

I did a lockout delete on the XC bike.
Whoever clocked the lockout on the rear shock had it most of the way closed. When I opened the damper all the way, my sag is at 50% now. I’ll need to fuss with dialing my pressures in again.

Ok. Dick of the week signing in here.
My Tallboy’s suspension was sloppy so I figured it was time to put new bushes in the shock. The upper one seemed mint, and the lower one sloppy so I just replaced that one.
Strangely the suspension still felt sloppy and I could see a bunch of movement at the bottom linkage. I assumed the lower linkage bearings must be shagged so got the importer to send me some free replacements. Santa Cruz lifetime deal. I put them in, no dramas, and even found the bearing press tool my engineer buddy made me when he replaced the bearings in my Santa Cruz Superlight, a hundred years ago. Pretty cool that they were the same size.
Anyway, the slop was still there… I went back through the system again. There seemed to be slop in the lower shock mount eyelet area, but I had already replaced the bush… so on closer inspection it became apparent to me that the stepped alloy bit is the part that was shagged all along. Not the bush or lower linkage bearings. I dont think you can even get them over here now. Might be a ceramic replacement.

Those eyelet bushings are a Fox part number, there’s bound to be someone in NZ that stocks them.
Refreshing the shock eyelets with new bushings is usually a good idea, anyway.

New chain and cassette on the ebike. Surprised to get all the way to 3500 miles on them.
Did some test rides on a couple of recently dithered bikes yesterday. The electrified itty bitty is fun as hell and the switchback hills might be the first 650b tire I actually like.
Threw some gears on the Tachyon in preparation for some casual rides with partner over spring break. Single speed was probably too chill.

Moved my saddle a couple mm 2 days after getting a bike fit. I really need a few days off the bike for my legs to recover after all this full time back in the office commuting stuff.
Dropped the Banshee off for the frameset switch.
I got fast and loose on it and smacked the dangler into a rock. I still have all the gears, but now some sweet ghost shifting.
I should just buy a DAG.
the dream is alive; do you have grips for them yet?

Why would they need grips if the dream is still alive?

It’s so nice to see some bullhorns on a sweet fixie. They were always my preferred bars and only really had a short period of popularity.
