    Rear brake failure

    Removed acros lock block and fitted cane creek and 2021 debonair

    Free Beer!! 1Up Bike Rack Owners!

    I have an old Thule T2 and the tray is slightly too short. In addition, the front wheel mount interferes with most mud guards. 1UP would be my choice today.

    Upper Body Armour - Shirt - Full. Troy lee or Leatt

    I've got the leatt and while it is very comfortable, there are a few downsides. The back protector is too short and the shoulder pad slid out of position in a minor fall. I have some ixs knee pads that are great, so the ixs trigger is on my list.
