Will you tell her before next ride?
Have only told her that I've serviced her brakes and that they should work "quite a lot better so be careful" when we ride next week. Haven't changed her Shimano M4100 levers - do have a spare pair of Shimano M6100 levers but can't fit these right now because she would notice straight away. Got to wait for the "could use a bit more brakes" comment after a downhill run 😉

How can you tell which is the front of a tree and which is the back. No Googling please .
Hmmm? 🤔
Moss can accumulate on one side of a tree (back maybe?). A tree will have a slight lean towards the sunny side (front?) which usually indicates south(if you’re in the northern hemisphere).

A tree can be felled in three different directions without wedges. If you fall a tree in the direction of the moss (or back?)…you would probably need a wedge to help fall the tree.

My head is starting to hurt …there’s gotta be a simple answer. 😉🤷‍♂️

I should’ve finished Turdology 101 when I was younger but I can’t imagine hanging off of a fishing trawler in the Atlantic Ocean and making a deposit. That’s just dangerous!😉(btw… I ran out of paper products).

The season of Bear scat, on the fire-roads, is upon us. Practicing sudden turns while riding can avoid some nasty, and embarrassing, accidents. 👍🏻

Bunny Hop Bear Poop A Lula! 😂

BTW I learned that for making a deposit you have to go to a bank. But maybe I misunderstood the meaning of „bank“….🤔😉

Always had good results with these rotors i just wish they would do a 220mm version .
Well, here's an embarrassing confession. My brakes are SRAM. 😐 HAd to cancel the order. I really prefer Shimano brakes. The sram version are really only painted black... which is a rip off if you ask me, yeah it's a little thicker but why paint it black to look like the ICE sHIMANOS?

Don't need paper on a trawler just lean out a bit more and the roll of the boat does the rest.

I was reading of an attempt to landsail across the Patagonian ice cap. Guys with sledges, towed by sails. They were in their tent riding out a storm when the author got a serious urge for a dump. It was a howling gale with ice crystals and everything so he took a shovel and dug a trench at right angles to the wind. He lowered himself in and dropped his trousers. He had just let go when the wind shifted and filled his trousers with freezing slush! :eek: :ROFLMAO:

The thought of it fills me with horror, but I can't help laughing out loud every time I think about it. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

To keep the tone low. Best one I remember was one eyed Joe from Fife. On the way out to the rig on the chopper he got up and spoke to the pilot. Then asked the guy in front of him for a read of his Daily Record and proceeded to dump on it on the floor. When I asked him about it he replied in his strong Fife accent , Ya hoor sir I was nearly embarrassed eat ya may but shit ya must.

A spare dropper post (KS Rage-i, 150 mm) in case my X-Fusion Manic 170mm needs servicing. Couldn't resist, as the price dropped to € 21,– on fahrrad.de. According to their newsletter they're going to have a new owner next month and currently have some crazy stock clearing going on.

Where did you get this? The cap cover has broke on mine.
ebay, via Lesiure Lakes

Although they can be found on their website directly too

My hardtail doesn't get out the same now an occasional hill trip and it gets left at the bottom. Or when I visit Charles at Balmoral. Someone will get a good one when i give it away , its still got original Campagnolia cantilever brakes on it.
