I designed a 6902 bearing extractor and press for my Kona Hei Hei

These bearings at the shock are under a high load (especially inner bearing) and the races can pit out, meaning the rear triangle doesn’t rotate through an arc the way it should.

The wh… https://t.co/pKeNFke2oT

Bikes, coffee and shoes?

Shimano DuraAce 9100 mechanical shifters (11spd) versus Ultegra 8170 hydraulic electronic shifters (12spd)

Got to give it to the Shimano engineers, even though the ratchet and mechanism is gone, )which was quite small )now it’s been replaced by hydrauli… https://t.co/qkaTpnArDE

Industrial vibes on the Moots this morning.
Something about the titanium, light hitting the camera lens for the haze, and the grimey factory warm gray hit it off. 🏭 https://t.co/5MMyc64503

These all new, all road 44mm wheelset from Chris King might just be up your alley or even down your gucchi gravel grade.

Smooth as you need them to be, not more, not less. 
These are perfect for your fast days on your shredagheddon gravel whip like … https://t.co/uD9n8A23LR

Very lucky to have a new pair of shoes like these just in time for summer.

I own an pair of Shimano 320’s from 2013 which are proper hammered but faithful to the sole. They must have at least 60,000miles on them and lots of winter and hard miles. Needl… https://t.co/pU0B89xH2x

All roadie through beautiful lands, canyons and nature preserves

Main image is Soda Springs WA - a sweet climb.

Right across the road, in front of us headed into Glenwood WA a large herd of elk. too fast for the camera. Breathtaking.

On the plateau … https://t.co/7NXLDrjhPr

It’s a good time to check the wardrobe and refresh for a summer season.

If you are like me then you have a tendency to hold onto less used or worn kit thinking you will use it again. Well it might well have a future use!

When you have finally reached … https://t.co/Z5vVjv6Vq6

A couple of shots from my 2023 Dalles Mountain 60 ride.

My earliest memory of riding this route is 2012, and since then I have done it almost every year and sometimes more than once in a year. Testament to a great 60miler and ocd.

It’s what I call a … https://t.co/E9wkr43ub7

Not gonna lie. I had some hard learning this past summer, and a few close calls.

Tyres for the correct soil, region and personal style of riding can do a lot to help your confidence, safety and allow you to work on other skills.

I chose these tyres o… https://t.co/TI5tY1owgm

Sort of an advert but kinda not. I’m celebrating these new frame bags because they are dope - hope to buy one soon to test out.
I like mainly because of the size and the materials.
I think it’s a good alternative to a bar bag and a lot more aero and us… https://t.co/hoG3vDwNML

Winter rides can be humbling in a less than productive way, that reminder of the summer fitness lost…a few weeks off the bike, that feeling of ugg it’s raining, maybe I should just do some work, are my friends all faster than me now?
It’s all ok,
we… https://t.co/fqlZEG0lmH

There’s an all too well story here that one would have said yeah Bucky you should have known that.
It starts with a bit of rain, then a lot, then high winds then a quick dump of rain and some winds
Mix on top, riding slightly above my zone, just enough… https://t.co/cymd0MBcuP

😳not to sound too preachy 🤣 The last few apparel / material shows I have attended have placed a lot of focus on sustainability. Many of the vendors are promoting their recycled materials, still a small part of their offerings, but it’s a growing and … https://t.co/kbL0Chf15R

[buckyrides @buckyrides1]

I feel that this year’s transition has been tough, a hot summer and a jet through autumn without weeks of reward, proper fast into cold mornings and dark nights. The time change always messes with me but those clear mornings and sunrises always knock it … https://t.co/jC5ShSZGjs

A little bit smokey but Rowena Crest is great. The route called Chenoweth Upness is stellar too to complete the loop . on https://t.co/4XL67mHRr9 https://t.co/Qc49EE2v17
