Hey I have a bike question...
One of my winter projects is to put in new brake and shifter cables and housings on the Habanero.
Is there a trick to cut the housing?? When I use a regular bike cable cutter it seems to make the metal housing liner crimped at the end which is no bueno. In the past I have “fixed” this using a nail to ream edge open but I suspect there is a better way. Suggestions??

You should be able to clean things up with an awl after you make the cut.

My coach, upon hearing how much I liked that 6x3x2 workout, gave it to me again tomorrow.

I build them as a hobby, but am quite a bad player myself. 
The small one is a short scale kid sized one for my 12 year old. If you squint enough, you can see the X-Wing on the head stock and the Millennium Falcon on it that he picked to be on the guitar. What can I say, the little guy likes his Star Wars.

What’s the fastest y’all have gone on flat ground solo?
I hit 32 today but I was on a really busy stretch of road no shoulder. It’s 4 lanes but people weren’t getting in the other lane to go around me, so the passing was pretty close. Any ways I was hauling ass to get though that section.

I'm loving the quilted maple and that rosewood on the far right.

Likely in Texas with assistance from their nasty South winds.
