Schwalbe ONE TLE (tubeless tires/tan)
and Lyzene Pressure Overdrive Pump. This pump is the bomb diggity. Chamber is rated to 220 psi and this thing seats tubeless tires better than the compressed air at the local LBS. Crazy I know, the only reason I can think of is the compressed air at the LBS is only pushing 120 psi, and it does not blast the air in. If you’ve ever watched a tech applying pressure to different parts of the tire while using compressed air, that’s why.

A couple of Suntour tools I had been looking out for. Same seller had both for cheap. New Winners, and GT cages: look out, here I come.

I currently have a set of 25mm Vittoria Corsa "G" on my AlAn, I liked them enough to buy the second set I posted. The second set are the latest Graphene 2.0 compound that are going on my 3Rensho but otherwise the same tire, I find them fast, sticky, and easy to mount.
That being said there are faster tires out there follow this link for a list of whats hot and whats not...

A nice Specialized 167.5 triple crankset. Nicely packed! This Flag model will go on the 87 Sirrus I will have coming to me when I get a dang car ride to a LBS to ship my bike box.

Yes, I got the hub in the morning and serviced in the afternoon. I strip them completly apart and check everything for wear. Since I just got it I have not laced it into a rim yet. I bought 2 new 26x1 3/8 40 hole rims from BikeWagon. Lacing will begin soon... I will use Michelin World tours for tires. This has been a long time coming.... I can't wait for the snow to stop coming down and melt and get this hub on the road...

Complete hub without axle nuts and washers or indicator chain would be great, easiest to compare to the steel AW I have here.

Clamp-on grips and a shifter. Unfortunately the 13cm grip area on the VO Porteur handlebars is useless if every single clamp-on grip is already 13cm... it means there's no room for brake levers or shifters...
So I'm having to rethink my cockpit here.

I guess this was my most random thing in my hole life (incl whats ahead of me) with bikes. I'm still puzzled a bit.
Wonder if hw works as a postman, so this fits here better.

To reduce our danger from the coronavirus, we have moved from our NYC place into our upstate house. Here at the house, we have a cardinal visit us every day at 10am, banging his whole body against the window. I've named him Chandra. He has a mate, and he's very fat, so I think he's succeeding at what cardinals do, even with the window banging.
So today, this feeder arrived. I haven't opened the box yet. The seeds arrive on Friday, and I don't know yet where I'll hang it.

Didn't come in the mail but a friend got me a black adjustable quill stem for my MEILE MTB with dropbar and black V-brakes, V-brake levers, and interrupter levers. Just need a black seatpost or warm weather so I can paint the existing one black.
Also go black Alivio V-brake calipers for my touring bike.
Cheers
