I went for 2.5 hours and the drivers were bad. You know how sometimes drivers seem a lot more dangerous than normal? It was like that today. Plus, I had a rare double flat and only carry one tube so I had to patch one. I found some shade in a Taco Bell parking lot, luckily.

Here are some crabon questions for the experts: My FD cable is getting sticky in its little groove under the BB on the R3. A. Will sleeving it with housing liner prevent this and 2. is it sticking because it’s sawing through the guide? It does improve with a schpritz of dry lube and I think it’s just road schmutz.

I removed about 200ml of fluid from my front wheel. I put in ~50ml worth of sealant a couple weeks ago.

I had some digestive tract issues last night, so I was probably under hydrated to begin with. And have always been a Patrick Ewing type sweater. Still, I feel like my tolerance for this type of weather is declining.

I had an aluminum one that did. It needed a brake (break) on it, because using dough to stop it was not a good idea. I also had a wooden one with bearings, but it didn't have as much mass to slow down, and that was my favorite. Course, my dough board was 4'x6' and those little home rollers didn't cut it.
