Pollen and The Itch

 After I came home from a post work training ride received a bunch of bad news. Need some time to digest and will say more later.

 So, had a fairly successful ride. Though need to make some adjustments but those will be taken care of after the 10th and the family event is done. That way I can buckle down and get it done. the stuff that I need to do for the 8 Hour in August. It should be noted that I have some extra motivation courtesy of a couple of Trolls.

 

Back To Normal

  Well, after last weeks fun things are back to normal somewhat.

 After having my crank arm on the 29er come loose again. The decision has been made to aquire another set of Crisis cranks for it. Not the only other new thing. Now have a freehub body for the rear hub I have. Now to get the DMR front one to go with it.

 Tomorrow I'm leaving work early and going up to Roger's to ride a couple of laps. Maybe some other mileage as well. We shall see.

Fast Weightloss

 Been a rough few days. had a visit from Mother Nature's weightloss technition, the flu.

Cough and Hack

 Nothing new due to having a rough bought with a cold. Will be back when I'm healthier.

Brit Parade

 New DMR cranks. Lovely, lovely, and no flex.

New, well new of ebay. Lovely vintage Hope brakes.

 The lever. Old yet still works great.

 Now just need the brake line so I can have a rear brake to match.

Grinding Brackets

Today at the shop installed the new cranks and BB. So far so good. But will have to wait to really give it a try on the weekend.

The bad news was finding out the Hope brake caliper is wide as hell. And because of that have to delay mounting it till tomorrow. Have to grind down the bracket at work to move it over.Oh, well live and learn.

Pic's tomorrow.

Snow and Cranks

Today wasn't much of a ride. Ended up just playing around while doing errands.

Tomorrow will be mounting the cranks with a new BB as well as the front Hope brake. Now if only the postal system would be so kind as to deliver my last 3 packages before summer.
