On the two bolt clamp tighten the front bolt relative to the back bolt, to nose down. For more nose up, tighten the back bolt relative to the front bolt.

Always clamp the seatpost. They're easier to replace than a frame.

I am not an expert in grass-growing soils.

However, if you had 20 days of 92F highs, with less than an inch of rain (see post #14713), your grass wouldn't be growing great, either.

Apart from inventory management, I was on wheel duty today. All I have to say, is that I dislike aluminum spoke nipples.

I had a lot of crit bikes and most of them would beat you to death but the Colorado was stiff on an obnoxious level. Beautiful bike, though. It was pearl metal flake white with a Campy Record group, tubular rims and tires.

Local racer's wheel. In for a true. Wound up replacing four nipples.

Do you put something on aluminum nipples like Spoke Prep or grease?
