  • Recap of my weekend (week 32)

    Saturday

    • Cycled up one of the higher mountains in this region for the first time (Schauinsland).
    • Met up with my partner at the mountain top for a snack before riding back down and immensely enjoying the descent.
    • Started working on my latest bike rebuild project.
    • Had barbecue with our neighbours.
    • Found out that if humidity is low in the evening, the light pollution is mild enough to be able to see the Milky Way from the garden.

    Sunday

    • Slept in and had an extensive breakfast.
    • Spent some time editing photos from the ride the previous day.
    • Cooked with family, had ice cream.
    • Finished the bike rebuild project late in the evening — YAY!
    • Ended the day having freshly made, and still warm plum cake, along with a glass of cold milk, while watching the Perseids.

    This was a good weekend.

    Happy Monday, everyone.

  • I say this from the bottom of my heart:

    Free Hongkong.

  • A lot of „bike maintenance firsts“ happening for me during this rebuild. Just now: shortening a carbon steerer tube.

    Komisch, dass “Dinge hinterfragen” und “nicht alles hinnehmen” nie bei den Leuten und Youtube-Videos gilt, die einem zufällig genau das erzählen, was man gerne hören will.

  • Folks, I‘m disappointed. How come no one ever told how amazing 46/30 chainrings are? Just rode up one of the higher mountains in this area and I‘m thankful to be using a 46/30 + 11–40 combo.

  • We‘ve reached season 4 in our DS9 rewatch and I’m enjoying the living hell out of “Way of the Warrior”.

  • Started a new bike project and was delighted to find out that I can equip a ~ 14 years old Campagnolo Zonda G3 rear wheel with a Shimano 11-speed road freehub. I mean, I’m used to easily serviceable wheels from DT Swiss but that feels like a different kind of future-proof design.

  • This is insane. I’m scared shitless just looking at some of those drops:
