too late now, but there was a 26" medium Ibis Mojo with King hubs for sale for the longest time for $1200 which sold in a day for $1500 late last year.   If this article were last fall, or you'd put the word out on the forums, I bet a solution would have easily come to you...

Have you rebuilt the shock and fork yet?  At least a clean and lube?  Easily done in my basement for beers on a rainy weekend.

Probably because Tim's a sender too!

So, about online security and anonymity...

I see a the.Dumpsters meme IG which is hilarious, posts shenanigans and has lots of followers, but follows only a few. 

I also see a the.Real.Dumpsters IG with no posts, few followers but following 1060 locals, including you and mole!

Which one is trying to figure out where you hang with your fancy bike to come steal it?

I just blocked the.real.dumpsters and put on my tinfoil hat.

Great article!  I’m sad now, all our bikes are GX.  

But my frame bearings, fork, shock, seatpost, headset and cables are all cleaned, replaced and lubed for spring!

Root-e-beer?

*not e-bike hate*

Did you ride the motorbike trails?  Mtb trails cover 1/4 of Vedder, dirtbike trails cover the whole mountain.

Hi Cam!   Nice deck!   Thanks buddy.

Yes you did, thanks.  In the case of this bike, the gnarliest shore it sees is Circuit 8 or Bridge Brewing.   Its a faint clicking noise only when braking hard, Ill monitor it when I ride it again a few months from now.  Its on the bottom of the N+1 list...

I'm starting to think my straight steer tube Revelation is creaking on the XC hardtail, so I pulled it off and tried oozing loctite pressfit 609 through gravity.  No such luck, still creaky when braking but no movement felt by hand for sure.

I have swapped a dual crown dirt bike fork steer tube press fit before, but am leery of pressing out the steer tube from the single crown Revelation and repressing it with 609 in the right place.  I'm not the kind of guy to buy a new CSU just because of a little creaky noise.  

Thoughts?

Its OK guys, the Grim Donut long con made my day, sorry to say....

Here’s another one I just did. Remove zip ties from C-Tire packaging to be reused on the bike or elsewhere. They were full length still, I simply pushed a little flat screwdriver in to hold open the teeth.

Findependance and saving the world go hand in hand.

They have to be piping hot though.

Pro tip, ask for no salt. Then they have to cook a new batch.  Don't forget to grab some salt though, cuz unsalted fries are just potatoes.

Me too.

13.  Just ordered takeout Wendys Frosties.  ‘No spoons please’.  Metal spoons at home. 

It’s the little things that all add up.

At least some action has come from covid.  Unfortunstely, cleaning up after the fact is pointless IMO.

We each have to hit it individually at the source.

12. Homemade liquid laundry soap, from cleaning products that come in cardboard boxes. We have used the same two no-name cold water detergent containers for at least ten years, refilling them from a 20 gallon brewing bucket (repurposed due to a bacterial beer growth). So Clean washing soda and borax mix. Way cheaper too!

5. Produce baggies made from reused tule off a divorcees wedding dress.

Damn, that is metal.  How do you broach the divorcees?  Where is Gooch when you need him?

One word.  Squamish.

Eliminate? Impossible.

Reduce and reuse, here are a few of the things we do.

1. Superstore blue bins used instead of bags. Buy them once and reuse forever. Also handy for many other binning jobs.

2. Old lady shopping trolley. See above. Also bought at Superstore, and the wheels replaced twice already when failed instead of buying a new trolley.

3. Paper lunch bags for kitty litter disposal. Also quicker to degrade at the dump.

4. Brewing beer and wine, reusing bottles indefinitely.

5. Produce baggies made from reused tule off a divorcees wedding dress.

6. Homemade beeswaxed clothes as food wrappers.

7. Consciously buy metal or glass over plastic. Kitty litter scoops, coathooks in the bathroom, lots of opportunities

8. Bulk food instead of prepackaged small packages.

9. Sodastream. Fuck bottled water! Working on a scuba tank CO2 hookup next

10. Glass “tupperware”

11. Eggs only in cardboard, in bulk never styrofoam

12. Fucking hippies. ;)

You can’t go wrong on a Revolt Advanced.   If you want one next year, better place an order for one now.  Such a great road/path/trail bike.   We did both upgrade from the stock Giant tires though, lost a lb in rotational weight. 

I installed fenders, just in time for the heat dome.

80/20, eh?  It used to be stocks were the high risk side of asset allocation. 

Me, I’ve got 3% in emerging markets as my volatile allocation.  Not a gambler, for sure.
