Was just on the road for 5 days. Seattle to Toledo. Going to check out some local bike culture this weekend with an eye out for zones.
Brand new 2022 Hex still in a box. Hoping to open it and bed in brakes and freewheel next week. My other poor bikes basically got sandblasted with road grit for 2000 miles then a few hundred more of hard rain. There is rust on both disc rotors on the simtra now. Got brand new pads and rotors and a bleed kit but lots of non bike stuff to deal with first.

Apparently it is considered a vintage antique in these parts... I will find a new bike someday, aint paying $10,000 for one..
Feels like I haven’t posted anything in a bit, so..
Since I can’t find any info on the original tensioner for this bike or find one that is how I want.. Repurposed a broken shimano cage I had laying around into v1 of a chain tensioner for the FTW. Actually works a treat, pretty light too. I’ll eventually whip up some parts to laser cut, hopefully make it spring loaded but that’s down the road.

Off the current topic, but... there's a free old Cannondale 'trials' bike on Pinkbike if anyone's interested https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3263713/
Also - congrats Ben! fingers crossed.
