Lost dog - July 28, 2020, 5:15 p.m.

Please be on a lookout for a lost medium size black and white dog.

Name - Oakley

Can be skittish.

Details on the North shore dog walkers site

Not my dog but hoping to help someone in need. Lost on Fromme by St Mary’s trail

The chromag bar I am running is 5 back 8 sweep so it is exactly what the same as the One Up.

I do have some spacers on the underneath but don’t want to mess around with that too much as it will change my reach.

Thanks everyone for taking the time To respond. I will try a 35mm. Anyone have a discount code for a one up bar?

Need some advice

I am looking to add some rise to my bars. I am currently on some cutlass bars with a 17 mm rise. I find that on some fast techy straight away sections with drops like oilcan or on the one section of executioner near the bottom, I am pitched more forward than I like. Hoping to counteract this with adding more rise but not sure how much. Bars are not cheap so I want to get it right the first time. I like the oneup bars but they only come in 20 an 35mm rise. Is 35mm too much of a jump? Suggestions and advice please.

Blue Kona Lava Dome 1995 I think. STX group with rigid fork. Chaz sold it to me in the original Cove. Upgraded later to those yellow Quadra 21r.

Great. I will keep my eye out for it

Any recommendations for a particular type of grease for repacking bearings. I have in the past used Phil wood grease but finding it a little too thin.

Suggestions?

Wife bought me a Giant “clutch fork storage” It stows a co2 canister and inflator up in steer tube. Works great. No rattle and installs in minutes. I have the lezyne plugs zap strapped under my seat.

Thanks to the guy who helped out my son’s friend with the flat today on Fromme. According to my son, you were riding a 2016 Reign. If you get in touch with me, I would let him know who you are so he can replace your tube.

Thanks everyone. Got what I needed from Rnayel.

Home Depot. Which one? I went on line but it was only available in the states
