"an unlucky road bike drivetrain at last year's Eurobike"

What was unlucky about it?

We Are One Composites - 6 New Rims plus Bar and Stem - April 16, 2019, 2:46 a.m.

Is the stem or the bar called "DaBar"? (I can guess, but...)

Also, a set of Coup rims fitted to DT Swiss 350 rims will be hard to ride.

Sorry to be the edit police.

Good luck. I have three 26" Lyriks in parts rotation to keep two functional. They're awesome, but I have no idea what to do when they eventually give up the ghost.

I'm not the target market for this, but I do appreciate the sharpie tyre marks in the last shot.

I have a - 1° in a DMR Trailstar (all they offer in a straight 1&1/8") overforked to 170mm.

It's still a silly bike, probably 67°HA static, less sagged. Short reach, heavy as shit, limited tyre clearance... But fun. Gives the giggles every time I get it out.

Had the headset in an old Horst 5spot previously, very excellent, and if I could justify rebuilding it I'd get a second one.

Is a MIPS Equipped Helmet Really Necessary? - March 26, 2019, 2:16 p.m.

In general I would disagree with that, but I did just crack my lid dead centre of the forehead in the weekend.

Replaced with a mips version, but mostly because of the fit - I went around trying on everything I could find, with the dials etc wound right out to find the best fitting shell for my head.

Tire Gauges - Blackburn Honest Digital Vs. Accu-Gage - Jan. 20, 2019, 3:11 p.m.

Great, mind eased. 30psi it is.

Good timing Cam, I've recently built a new wider rimmed wheelset, and am finding it hard to balance grip vs pinch with the added volume.

I'd already decided on the accu-gague but have read they prefer to be used in the middle of the range, any trouble with your 60-70% of max use?

There is a 0-60psi version, but if the 30 can cope I'd rather have the finer increments.

Loading Up the Osprey Gearkit 40L Duffel Bag - Dec. 17, 2018, 10:06 p.m.

Shout out to the excellent folks at Cactus, bombproof gear that always goes the distance. As worn by abseil access teams, ski patrollers and lifties all over South New Zanada.

The big burly bag is the Killer duffel. https://www.cactusoutdoor.co.nz/bbb-big-burly-bag.html
