  • Out with the old, in with the new. It was time to replace the Chris King PF30 bottom bracket that came with the bike with something new and better. So I went with a Cane Creek Hellbender 70. Installation was super smooth. 🚲

  • The 🚲 bike parts market is 🤪 sometimes.

    While looking for better brakes for my commuter bike, I saw that the average price for a set of Shimano XTR BR-M960 v-brakes (used, without levers) is € 150.—

    Instead I just bought a complete set of new Magura HS33 for € 159.—

  • On Saturday I’ll be trying myself at a 70+ km, ~ 1,800 m of climbing MTB marathon and smart as I am, I may attempt a saddle change before then because even though I like the Specialized PowerArc Elaston saddle for what it is, my butt doesn’t agree on rides longer than 25 km.

  • Fox Racing had a bunch of Ranger shorts in the old style on discount in their EU store and I totally pounced on that offer, buying three. I really like the fit of these shorts both on the gravel bike and the MTB. 🚲

  • I just love starting into the day with a bit of cycling. This morning I took Battle Cat 2.0 on a quick single track ride in a nearby forest and onto a pump track for the first time. 🚲
