Ritchey recently starting making a tapping noise when I pedal. Today it was even more consistent but I can’t figure it out. Sounds just like the cable coupler tapping the the frame, but only one that would be able to do that is the rear brake. I held that with my hand today and pedaled and the sound was still there. Doesn’t make the sound if I stop pedaling. Could this be BB creak on a steel bike? Will investigate more later.
Can someone post a picture of mineral spirit oil they use to clean their chains? Need an example, if it’s going to be raining these next couple of days I want to do a deep cleaning my bikes are nasty.

My alarm didn’t go off this morning so I only had time for a short ride. I got the munchkin all day today so I won’t be able to get out again today.

This a real man's torque wrench. Multi-use as well. Can be bungeied on vertically to use as a kickstand and can be weaponized in those situations where cars pass to close or start bike raging you.
Added bonus is the complimentary color scheme.

Well done! Fastened thus, it would be hard to convince me that it wasn't custom made for your bike - it almost disappears!

First organized weekday ride of the season. I really love the short, hard, stuff...especially on the days when I can keep up.

My big one I've had for years - a 1/2" drive beam type that my folks gave me as part of a graduation gift. At our high school graduation both me and my brother received a Craftsman rolling toolbox filled with all the necessary stuff. One of the best gifts I've ever received. I finally used that beam wrench for the first time about a month ago when I did the brakes on my wife's car

Just got done with follow up televisit for my back. I reported no improvement which is true. now they want to do an EMG nerve conduction study before going further. Sounds like fun. Their approach is to shoot and then find the target later - apparently. That's why they call it PRACTICING medicine. Practice? Practice? SMFH.
