Ideally because he removes them before going to town with the silicone they don't have too much garbage on them regardless?

It does smell great but also I get the feeling in the back of my mind that its actually poison.

I'd love to give this stuff a whirl too though.

For me it's gotta be using the fishing reels with Grandpa. Sorry bike stuff.

GX AXS is still too rich for my blood for something that I'd still consider a higher risk although not quite a disposable item. I'll continue my trend of really nice shifter and midgrade derailleurs. Nice shifters tend not to grenade out of warranty and can make any average derailleur feel like the baller counterpart

Provenance: Was that Bike Part Stolen? - March 24, 2021, midnight

This is a really good article Andrew, and admittedly something that I'd not thought of re: people rolling up to stores to buy chargers. One issue I foresee is with the prevalence of online ordering these days, the discerning stolen bike buying jerk can just buy one online after a bit of research? Maybe not, many of the e-bike buyers I've met would be hopeless in selecting the correct charger for their bike on their own. They'll research to the far ends of the earth on weird little numbers that aren't actually comparable between brands/makes, but something as simple as the correct charger may be lost on them.

I've managed to steer clear of buying stuff on the used market (courtesy shop life), but like many of your articles on the blog suggest, I too know the shop life isn't forever. I'll have to be ultra-diligent in the quest to avoid buying stolen goods but also being bittersweet over shop worker goodness.

Did the whole NSMB crew contribute to this one or?

You'll have to forgive me if I find it entertaining that someone is already thinking about how to blend two build kits of what is essentially the same frame. A goldilocks bike indeed!

No, it's a Rocky thing. Pre-covid their bikes were already starting to have some pretty serious price creep compared to previous model years (even without updates and basically the same spec) and then Covid blew it out of the water.
