  1. Post-script: It took a few tries but I have successfully performed a "lever bleed" that just purges the air from an otherwise functional hydraulic brake system on a relatively new bike and now it works nicely.

    So I will probably again defer taking the bike to the 100-mile tuneup the manual recommends (as I cross over 400 miles) because I don't wanna

  11. Ever since Anna's bike came back with the replacement rear wheel I've been kind of side-eying it, the spokes feel kind of sparse and it doesn't match the front wheel and it's fine but it's different and I don't think looks as good

    but

    today i changed out the rear tyre because rainy season has started and the old treads were worn down to flat and

    i did not need, like

    tools?

    really? to get the old tyre off? I used some levers but I probably didn't have to? Same for putting the new one on? It was super fast and easy because IT'S NOT TUBELESS READY SO IT DOESN'T REQUIRE LOCKING THE THING INTO A BLOODY VISE TO POP THE FUCKING BEAD

    so now i'm all "oh, _that's_ why"

    and I'm 100% on team new rear wheel xD

  16. Does anyone have any recommendations for touching up bicycle paint on a steel frame? Particular products that are good, or should be avoided? The Cube pens look convenient, and aren’t the cheapest, but I wonder if they’re a gimmick? Is there a reason not to just use Hammerite direct to metal and thus make the bike a bit less attractive to thieves as well?

  26. On today's ride, the center suspension on my bike broke and I was a bit far from home, so I felt like the bike was heavy because the suspension was stuck as if it was carrying its maximum weight. Luckily I was able to return... but in the meantime, I'll have to go to the workshop once more... 😔😮‍💨🚲 #bikemaintenance #biketooter
