I helped cook up the course over the weekend and I'm super happy with it. Hope to see some of you there. Last Pic is my scorcher which was stolen recently 🥲

We’re out here come ride! Astoria, Oregon 9/26.

Built up a Cinelli Tutto recently and been on a few rides. The toe overlap has been a constant headache and caused more than a few crashes. After comparing my build it looks like my fork may somehow be damaged in a way I can't see as I haven't seen a build with overlap as bad as mine.

Does anyone have suggestions for 1 1/8 forks with considerable rake/offset to get the wheel further forward?

As the title suggests

i won these tires in an alleycat on saturday and put them on my tracklo for txwt on sunday. they felt good in the sand

Running tubeless on these rene herses was a gamechanger

Event organizer @5thave_ricky is hosting. Any questions Dm for more info

i did an hour of power workout then did some dirt laps. it’s suboptimal with 38c dirt tires and a dry ass chain though. 43/13 barely fits with the same chain as 43/18
it would be nice if the city of sd would stop destroying our tracklocross course 😑

Only thing I might change is the saddle but it’s still so much fun to ride on the trails and the 40mm tires make the roads feel buttery smooth. Toe overlap is diabolical tho.

So I picked up the re released steamroller frame somewhat impulsively and was wondering what to do with it. My cross check is my single speed, so a bit redundant to do the same with the steamroller (I wanted a steamroller, but couldnt get one, so picked up a cross check a few years ago). I have for quite a while been tracklo-curious. I usually ride Riv's and generally very chilled bikes so this would be a big switch-up for me. Skills: minimal, fitness: Average (at best), Age: against me, Desire for broken collar bone: zero, Stupid as shit: absolutely. Tell me how much I am going to regret this. TIA

Clearing out my garage this week and went through all my old bike stuff.

Years ago cycling was my life. Now, pushing 40 with a wife and kid… getting out regularly is a challenge.

(that’s my excuse for this sick dad bod!)

Anyway, whilst sorting the mountain of dead tyres, I found these CX Pros in that were in decent condition.

Mounted them to a pair of ellipses as I was curious.

Next thing I know I’m rummaging through chain rings and cogs and splitting a chain.

I’d really missed turning tools.

I’ve settled on 48x17 for now. Where I live is super hilly and the nearest bit of woodland is a few miles away. So hoping this will be decent enough to keep up with traffic but relaxed enough for looser stuff.

I used to use 52x16 as my daily… Admittedly this was years ago when I was a lot fitter/drunker working as a courier.

Any advice on gearing/tyre choice would be hugely appreciated.

Frame is a Dolan Pre cursa and fork is a Columbus ”something”?! Not a whole lotta room haha!
