Riding down one of the few rivers here you may actually swim in without risking an infection. Only cooled my legs today ☀️

From the ride last weekend I had sunburn today I needed a hot shower to defreeze 🥶

Thought I’d picked another route but been there before almost exactly one year ago: black forest gravel roads from sandy to hardly rideable, temps above 25°, sunshine, yeah! (No water in the well)

New Essa 1x 8 speed groupset with 11-45 HG cassette introduced https://theradavist.com/shimano-essa-8-speed-1x/#meta So the future low end is maybe deore>cues>essa Just saw they've discontinued XT flat pedals :(

Everything Deerhead is so lovely*, even the clumsy shifters ❤️ *for mass production

Over here they have sold more e-bikes than usual bikes last year, for the first time, at an average price of 4000 € (!?). A lot of them are leased, so they need a service every year, you can't just diy. I reckon the state of the industry isn't too bad...

I guess he started a trend again with his lwb hillbilly frames :cool:

Nice detour to Alsace today, les vosges at the horizon Half the way I noticed a slow puncture in the rear, I wasn't able to locate. Unfortunately it showed that there was a big hole in my spare tube as well which I fixed, storks watching me from the roof But it didn't last long and I put the...

If you like cx50 I would try LX BR-M550 or the more modern BR-R550. The worst cantis I’ve ever had were Modolo cross brakes. Man, they were so nice, I’ve even organized straddle wires in the US, but didn’t brake at all 😆

Quite cold today, some snowflakes and later rain The poor man's Alps

This week I’ve made two working XT hub sets out of three, replaced pitted cones, some egg shaped balls and binned two of the bodies with damaged cups. No before images but their condition was really bad, gunk covered, corroded (you can still tell from the area around the logos), bearings hardly...

Proper 90 km avoiding much uphill due to lack of form. Preparations going on for carnival in the countryside Finally missed the train back (see above) and had dinner at Burger King. Perfect day out :)

Another 20 km walk through the woods yesterday 👣

Found a new home for my tools 🦾 I think they are made like this since the 1950s. Quite expensive from new but this was local and a bargain. Needs some tlc but in general good condition 😌

What was the idea behind that front shock? I don't get it. Maybe it should just look like some kind of car wheel suspension 😆

That’s my winter bike https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/todays-ride.303296/post-3522343 It shares some components bags and racks with the summer bike so they are both a rolling spare parts depot 🤓

I even have a summer bike for rides to the pool text town or just cruising in sandals when it’s hot. Wide bars and upright position so you get a lot of fresh air ;)
