I‘ve seen a lot of frame locks for bicycles over the years but this one is new to me. 🚲

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.
Pre-morning ride breakfast. 🚲 ☕️
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. 🚲

Great blog post and film about a group of Black cyclists from the U.S. venturing over to Sierra Leone to take part in the 2022 Tour de Lunsar. 🚲
The new XC/downcountry mountain bike frame has finally arrived. Three months of waiting for this custom beauty. The build will be fun. 📷 🚲
Upgrading the headlight on my ebike to a Lupine SL F. I appreciate how well Bosch has designed the motor units; the most difficult part of the process is getting the cables through the frame. 🚲
