Oh no, that’s how addictions start. You didn’t enjoy it, did you?
But my commute time was about the same as my full kit road bike ride time, with less effort. :innocent: |

Will it help prevent resin pads from glazing over? Or do I just have crappy rotors that make that happen? I try to sand the pads with ~220 grit paper and hit the rotors with steel wool, then clean the rotors with mineral spirits. I can bed the pads and things work great for a while, then it seems like all of a sudden they start sounding like a pissed off Canada goose and lose most of their effectiveness. Haven't ridden my MTB in like a month or so because I just don't want to deal with it. |

I figured I would start a little repair job on my hoop house today but forgot that I need my chopsaw which is up in the attic workshop and which I am not in condition to drag It down at this time. Rats! Now I’ve got to find something even less strenuous. :foo: :crash:

Who knew so much of home maintenance was so strenuous.

Cook the contamination off your pads in a gas flame for 20-30 seconds. Has never failed for me...until I sweat on them or ride through an oily puddle again.
I have always been askared to try that, I'll give it a shot though. |

https://www.modernbike.com/product-2...4aAvrdEALw_wcB Luckily I rarely get squeal on personal bikes. AZ sun and sand keeps the noise down. |

More eco-friendly? IDK. We use the White Lightning at the BS. White Lightning - Clean Streak? |
I never bought into the gp4000 sII hype, because 1) cost and 2) sidewall problems. I finally bought a pair on close-out, and can see what the fuss was about with ride quality. This morning my front suffered a sidewall blowout with less than 100 miles on it. A tiny one, right at the edge of the tread. I'm gonna put a tube patch on it and see if I can get another 100 miles out of it.
