This is probably not what Rapha had in mind regarding color coordination, but drink it in.

Sure, everyone has the socks, but do they have the wheels that match?

I tried to give him crap about the lack of orange in his bicycle print pattern socks this morning… then he noticed one of them was a blue bike with orange rims. THAT IS NEXT LEVEL.

My gravel rims are done and in the mail. These are the little siblings of those 46mm rims I just built for the road bike. But these are
– damn orange
– only 36mm deep
– hookless beads (22mm inner width)
– a bit lighter, presumably [/IMG]

I’ll be very interested in how your custom gravel wheelset treats you. I think those rims with 30mm G-One Speeds set up tubeless could be make for great performance a̶l̶l̶r̶o̶a̶d̶ mostroad wheels. How many spokes are you going with per wheel?

These are uncertain times, AlanA. Now factor in the government shutdown, and things are gonna get Lord of the Flies.

On today, International Penguin Awareness Day, I need to make you aware of the fact that penguins are warm and waterproof in frigid Antarctic waters thanks to a thick layer of blubber and well oiled feathers. So they’d probably taste like a frozen turkey wrapped several layers of insulated Goretek, dunked in salty, gamey, motor oil.

So… like a Popeye’s chicken sandwich then. Got it.

Better watch your back. It looks like Laura M. of the Titanium Geraniums, has everyone beat. She’s clocking in at an astounding 110 ft/ mile. If she can maintain while meeting the threshold of 29,029 she’ll beat us all!

Everyone pack it in. I’m shutting it down. No more climbing.

Bringing some refreshing beverages is a good way to thank the pros, too.

Reminds me I only recently discovered Dominion Wine & Beer has a bar and sells 32oz can “crowlers.”

Got my “skills” from:

• Lurking here and on BikeForums
• The YouTube rabbithole
• Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance
• Asking everyone at Bikenetic lots of stupid Qs
• Park Tool’s tutorials

I usually try to tackle maintenance jobs at least once so I: 1) know how to do them; 2) know if they’re a huge PITA that I’d rather pay someone to do in the future. I also tend to skip tasks that require expensive, specialized tools.

Can we have more happy hours at the Velo Cafe please? I didn’t get to stay long but I really dug the space.

[Birru]

Does this work in reverse? Asking for a friend (*cough*musclys).

Jean Grey, Phoenix

Jamis calls that color Ano Black, so more of a Dark Phoenix.

I might be able to take the QOM. Might.
