This week's purchase has been a rebuild kit for the Crank Bros Stamp 2 pedals, which after 2 years of abuse have developed a bit of play in the bushings, and some loctite to stop the seat clamp grub screw backing itself out...

Galfer 223mm rotors front and rear. After sending 9 Shimano rotors back due to excessive warping, I decided to give these a try. So far the XTR brakes have been absolute dog shit. So I’ll probably be changing them out this week for a new set of my tried and true Hayes Dominions
Here’s what the rotors look like

Sort of for my bike. Five tens freerider pro, bought half size bigger than I normally take. Should stretch a bit with wear and fit like a glove when worn in. (y) Flats ordered and waiting for them.

I’m colorblind too.
Did you know that for sniper training color blind dudes always pick out targets in the woods the fastest!
Also we generally see better at night.
It’s due to evolution, the women see colors better because they gathered, we hunted which means color is not as essential because the eyes only have receptors for cones or rods (color/night vision) and have evolved for needed usage.

Congrats, you’re likely more of an alpha male than dudes that would ever say ‘I’m gonna match my Fuchsia socks with sunglasses’
Damn that’s good info
I feel like the Predator

Very interested in how you get on with these. Was considering the same for my bike.

Install was easy (requires dealer to setup the Kiox though so it knows the light), operation is simple: it automatically dims/brightens depending on light, and there is the high-beam/low-beam button that nicely lights up when active.

Only remark is that the Kiox on/off button does not work and always shows the light as 'on'.

It is superbly bright at night, thus when winter hits can keep on riding even at night :)

And got a Thule Chariot Sport 1 for my mini-me:

Having suspension in that thing even allows for the smaller of jumps.

Dude's comment about the Thule is "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" .... and a big snore later on as riding trails is rather calming for them, then gain did a 36km tour with him that day ;)
A few tips and hint in the linked video

Yes, Danny is awesome. I am annoyed everytime I see his vidz, as would love to go to Scotland for the drinks and the scenery and everytime it gets nipped in the butt.

But he is not inspiring me much in trying to break my neck when doing that: don't got the 6 months and the foam pits, air matresses, prepared site and the teams to practice:


And yes, love his vidz ;)
