Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

I really am loving it! Both shoulders were sore yesterday after my 20 mile ride, but not terrible...and I can play around more with the handlebar position, now that my longer brake cable is here. The riser really helped though.

I don't think I have ever ridden 20 miles on a bike at once, except maybe as a kid.
Wow that's huge! You're not planning on doing any trail riding on this bike right?


I actually didn't even make them as much for me but my bike. Throwing mud and rocks at the shock and downtube messes stuff up.
I have a big scratch on the inside of one of my stanchions, no idea how I did that. You can kinda see it in the pic of you zoom in. It's not leaking yet

Good morning and happy Friday View attachment 4851098
I broke out my oil rig this morning too...I've been limiting myself to weekends for oil the past few weeks, and it's the weekend!! Haven't even hit it yet though, just dry vaped earlier...twice

Hell no....with this beat up body?? :lol: You should see me get on the thing...I have to lean it wayyyyy over, cause i don't bend that far any more. Blacktop is my friend (til I eat it).

Bacon & eggs coming up...followed by oil, and the bike is charging!!

Good! That's a lot of leverage on the steerer tube, I'd be worried you break it after the first jump.

Is the scratch rough? You can take it down very carefully.
I can feel it with my nail. I had a mechanic look at it and he said it's not deep enough to worry about and it's in the top of the stanchion it's not being hit very often. The replacement part is $468 CAD so I'm in no hurry to replace it.

I never saw a reason to replace sanctions. Just get a new shock at that point. Keep fresh seals in it and it'll be fine.

I thought you worked on your bikes?

Just added this adjustable piece, I forgot the correct term, to bring the handlebars back even further to save my shoulders. Just have to make a longer brake cable and I'm doing that right now while IMG_20210312_123423.jpgthe battery is charging
