@dog_rates I'm crying so much, thinking about Doug, thinking about our own dogs we have had to say goodbye. I've asked Fizz-Gigg, Bella and Jude to find Doug and show him the way.
@angryasian If no lines go through the headset and I can replace headset bearings without removing lines. $15 to $25 per bearing + $45 labor. (CDN $).
I couldn't imagine having fully integrated lines on a MTB.
@angryasian Guy didn't freak out, he knew what he was in for. Next time he goes in there for anything, hell need at least 1 new hydro line cause you gotta cut them every time.
@angryasian Stem/bar swap Ridley Kanzo Rival mech 1x11 & flip brakes right to left. Hydro connection at lever is with a banjo that didn't fit thru the bar. Pull lines out of the bike (would have to do this if changing headset bearings). 4 hours, charged 3. Call it $425 cdn with bearings
@angryasian@cyclingtips So sorry to see things go the way they have over there. I've been reading your words for years and appreciate the perspective you bring. I'm not completely surprised by your move given the changes at CT. All the best in the future. If you keep writing, I'll keep reading.
