Where are you riding at?

"No pressure though."

"Lol jk they're in all the squares."

"Lol jk he's way off in the other direction."

"Also, good luck sleeping tonight."

"There is a time limit."

Basically the southern half. We are on a 7 day tour going point to point. We leave Madison in the Morning for Whitewater. I think we will average 50 a day.

Worth going through the last five pages? Y'all have been busy while I've been driving to Amarillo the red light hell loop.

Oh? I teed one up for you.

Yeah, way too late for me too. :cry:

As luck would have it, I was doing the hardest physical daily work of my life at 50. 49- 55 we lived in Belize. Daily, all day hard work. Vamos a ver.
I used to say I aged backward during those years.

God, me too! However, it’s excusable and even sort of cute in an undergrad.

Sounds fun :)

I've done quite a few rides out of Whitewater, there are some fun roads out there.

Dirtbags? wut

How are the Lady Vols doing?

Lady Wildcats are out :(

IDK.

But that's kind of the problem, right?

Well, THAT'S embarrassing!!!! The creaking noise the Canyon was making was the SEATPOST, NOT the press fit BB I rather extravagantly replaced. Boy, is there egg on MY face! A little assembly paste, properly torque down the screw, and....... silence. ALL the creaking noise gone.

I also raised the saddle the 3mm I'd lowered it by, and felt a LOT more able to put down power. I rode exactly the same route as last night, but 5 minutes faster over 22.6 miles, AND I felt a whole lot stronger. Maybe it's the position, maybe it's the relief from having solved the riddle, maybe it's that it's 5 degrees cooler - the wind was pretty much the same. I don't know. I DO know that yesterday I was tired and uncomfortable in the saddle and found it hard to push hard, and today was very different.

:(

Keep it going Owls.

We have all had a minimum word limit to satisfy ;)

I was super in to botany when I was in school so I took quite a few biology and plant physiology classes. I'm just delighted that there is an alternative context for the root "turgid" than what I have seen before :p

I had an SL7 Tarmac in my stand the other day for a brake bleed and creaking noise from the BB.

Brakes definitely needed a bleed, but the seatpost and clamp wedge were absolutely dry. Added some carbon paste and all the noises disappeared.

Actually not. I think you're butthurt that I crushed your baseless criticism of a generation.

Beavers are usually pretty good.

I guess the Lady Wildcats aren't out yet. I forgot about the double elimination action. They face the Beavs next.

NOW you tell me!

I don't feel too bad about replacing the BB. I'm pretty sure the Wheels Mfg. one is a better product, and I am a big guy. BUT I wish I'd thought of the seatpost first.....

Yeah, we’ve done quite a few rides/tours in WI. Door Co. x 3, Kettle Morraine a few times, the Driftless Area, Stevens Point a lot.

My BBRight R2 creaked... from the saddle (loose on the rail itself) and the cleat. The oh-so-terrible BB was always fine.

Generally a thread-together Wheels BB solves a lot of creaking problems on press-fit bikes, after trying the usual remedies, of course.

My old hardtail MTB needed a seatpost regrease pretty regularly or it would creak, even out of the saddle.

Ouch giving up a 5 spot is not what the Mighty Owls wanted.

9 runs in the 8th. Not good. The Mighty Owls will have win this one without me. I'm going to bed.
