  6. @ascentale @rasterweb @bikenite This post inspired me to replace my discs and pads and realign everything, brake response was more than okay before but it's back to completely mental now :-) I'll bleed the calipers later, probably when I change the tyres.

    And I guess that's my answer for #bikenite A3: I love that talking about this stuff with like minded individuals reminds us all to go do the things we've been putting off!

    [also new grips (the old ones got DEET on them and kinda melted, oops) and tightened up the rear wheel bearings a smidge although I'll have to strip and repack them soon. Oh for through-axles and sealed bearings!]

    A1a. I love that #Ciclovía and #CicLAvía and #OpenStreets are being done in more locations. Hopefully they'll make some of those streets permanently open to all but non-emergency motor vehicles.

  17. CW: blood and minor injury plus SFW pants tear.

    @ascentale @bikenite A8. Umm I hurt myself doing parkour and had fun all the same? Also blew my pants out doing active ascents and descents on concrete walls.

    All very fun.

    CW for injury and pants

    I love the idea of Ciclovia so much. And it shows what happens when streets are opened up.

    Hi everyone,

    A1. Posting once again from Gloucestershire, UK.

    For the last 10 days I have been putting off having a beer. I am about to change that which also happens to require my most frequently used bike tool. Cheers/proost! 🍻

    A7. I agree. I have the DAG-2.2 and it isn't Park Tool's finest work but it does the job. The 3.3 looks better.

  21. @ascentale @genex #BikeNite A5: When I bought my 1st (pre-owned) recumbent around 2003, I also bought a new bicycle pump for it as my previous one was bicycle-specific and frame-mounted alongside the seat-post and hence too long for most panniers.

    That new pump must have been a predecessor of today's #Topeak Turbo Morph G model (topeak.com/us/en/product/244-T), just with the more rounded grip as used today in their shorter MiniMorph model.

    I still use it today—20 years later—and it still works well!

    A1: Coming at #BikeNite once again the next morning from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (after a delicious evening on a patio with my partner kept me away last night).

    The biggest cycling update from the week is that the Fancy Women Bike Ride (#FWBRyeg) was last Sunday, and while our numbers were challenged by wildfire smoke, we sill had fun getting fancy and taking over the bike paths of the city!
