Welp, I got another Vittoria Tactic wheelset in yesterday and it looks like it might be taped with tubeless tape already, but generic black tubeless tape. There is no mention of tubeless tape in the manual, however. I guess there's only one way to find out...

When I go out to eat weed, I dress in a full face mask and earmuffs. Today(I finished the immediate have to stuff) I had those mango mosquitoes up inside the face shield. Not looking for blood, fortunately, but rather escape. But still.
I have no prior experience with mosquitoes this big. I don't know whether or not they are disease vectors. Even at 2 PM, there were walls of them out there. I might have to hold off on getting back to riding. I won't survive the walk from the house to the street

I just saw a patient who is a not-so-serious cyclist. He is also a pilot. He told me his chain was worn so he had to take it to the shop to get a new chain and cassette and chainrings that were also worn.
I did suggest he could just change his chain every 3000 miles and/or measure chain wear to avoid having worn cassettes and chainrings.
I hope I reached him. Not sure.

Many times I just wait until everything is trashed and replace it all at once. I'm sure all my bikes could use a freshening up right now.

Maybe someone can reach me. I swear I'm the worst. I've ridden chains until the rollers split and fall off leaving just the pin,(more than once). I was in the mountains and my chain started making noise. I was in a hurry to get down so I didn't even stop to look at it. Seems one of the plates had come off one side and was just swinging along, luckily I didn't put the power down.

I was walking down the hall this afternoon and a guy coming the other way says, "You look so serious."
Imagine if he'd seen me on a bicycle! #SeriousCyclist

Bought a head lamp like two weeks ago to work on the yard at night, just so happens when I ride in the morning it’s super dark now. Strange. Anyways, the head lamp eats some batteries. It only last about five hours, kind of disappointed, my rear light takes triple As as well and I only switch those batteries out once a year.

Last year my wife and I went to Riot Fest in Chicago.
The Hu had just started their set when we walked in the gates, and we made a beeline to the stage to figure out what band was playing. Definitely a pleasant surprise
