That time I caught a flat on a rail trail after dark with 5km to go so decided to just pump up loads to get me through but I was running these garbage continental tubes with a threaded valve core for some reason and when removing my pump the valve core unthreaded and the pressure blasted it into the darkness so I inflated again and zip tied my pump inside the spokes and it fucking worked. Urge to go tubeless intensifies. @bikes

@christ @bikes That's awesome :-)

I keep a little o-ring sealed presta -> schrader adapter and an o-ring schrader cap in the toolkit, so if the presta valve core starts leaking I can seal it all up with that. Only had to use it once but it's a handy thing to have.

I’m thinking about upgrading my budget bike from 1x10 / combo to less modest GX/Force 1x12… I’ve got a guilty conscience because of the price…🤡🤣 Should I?🤣 @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk @boardmad @cycling @rower Ah, well, I'm old and fat and it's hilly around here.

My favourite thing about bikes and their gearing is that so many parts are swappable. If you're bumping into the top all the time move things up and if you're bumping into the bottom move them down. I don't use the lowest of the low gears very often but I use the 48/11 even more rarely, though it's nice when it happens 🙂
