My wife bought another le creuset dutch oven because it was on sale! We have a blue oval one we found for free in Oakland. Now we have another one for big stews!

We have that same color and have used it like 3-5 times a week for the last 13 years. A+ piece of cookware.

Since the cooking thread just broke containment, I tried to sub in 20% fresh ground whole wheat in my dough and it was not better

Ok I know this is an old post but wtf are you even doing? Thatâs only for setting preload on the bearings! Please keep the torque wrench away from any bearing preload adjustment.
After Iâd clamped the stem properly, I gave the cap a (unnecessary) tighten and broke it.
Torque wrench was not involved in the pre-load process.
Chopped down my handlebars more, I just canât get comfortable with wide bars
All to supâs Optic.
Did full bleed on her brakes, and, woof, did they need it. Ugly fluid.
Put new pads in the rear, since she was saying the brakes werenât great. Could tell from push and squeeze that they were glazed or contaminated overall. But only had one extra set of pads. sanded and put fronts back on (enough material left). But after bedding machine, no dice.
But before bedding fun, swapped on new kash money Turbine stem, so decided to check headset bearings. Top was rough. Luckily I had a full cc40 that would fit. Then tried to get bottom bearing out. Thatâs when trouble began. Wouldnât pull out, so tried to tap it out, and bottom race popped out, then I could get bearings in the cage. Eventually had to yolo the whole thing with my too small cup tool. Luckily I had full CaneCreek40 with the cups and pressed it all in in no time.
Then I did find a 23mm pm adaptor and put a 203 rotor on her rear, too. And finally got both rotors true enough to ride.
Oh, and new XT chain.

Designed and printed a bracket for the light bar, wired it up and test rode today. Will try it tonight when itâs darkâshould be a massive improvement over the stock one, it should be 6x the light

Holy cow!
Inspiration for the keepers of 1x1s out there.
New headset, new swoopy bars, chucked the old Carradice on. Need to bleed the rear brake for some reason.
Edit: bled the brake, geez itâs easy. Also forgot to mention I put on some MKS lambda pedals which are great. Then I rode to the bottle-o.

i bent the derangler hangler back into place.
i suspect it doesnât have to be perfect, because this bike is friction shift, but itâs friction shift 10 speed.
yall think I should get it properly aligned or just YOLO it?
youâre free to come over sometime and use our DAG if you want

Try shorter cranks
Iâd yolo (or use @alpâs DAG). Friction ten ainât no thing.
