One of us needs one of these. It's not me.

I don't need the noon row so I've got that going for me.

Time to walk Roscoe and drift off to sleep basking in the glory of another successful day capped off by a Pirate victory.

Did you see my keys?

I bet you don't need reminded to eat.

Are you wearing them?

Never mind. :)

Drum kits are bulky, but don’t weigh a lot. An 8x10 bass cabinet and tube amp is a beast to move anywhere…but damn they are fun to stand in front of on a stage. 🤘

I will allow it. Cary on.

Anyone try a Tipsum chain before? Looks like I'm going to....

Was there a reservoir near by?

Time for the Usual Suspects mid-week ride.

No one can remember. We all need Prevagen.

Lucky for you. We are in a rain pattern, again.

After 5 days of temps topping out at 70 and requiring a jacket in the evening, I'm back to 100 degrees. :(

Are they a bunch of Goodfellas?

My traumatic headaches at the time were probably a distraction.

rjones28 and anyone else: If I increase a crankset from 48/32 to 50/34, will a longer chain be required?

I bet you don't need reminded to pre-hydrate.

If you found the fountain of youth please clue me in.

Apparently I'm not smarter than the average bear because I'm not following. :foo:

I think he means you must be stronger if you are going to bigger gears.
And yes, probably need a longer chain but it depends.

Correct.

Have a chance to get a a 9-speed 50/34 crank for my Sirrus for cheap, which would make the gearing closer to that on my Domane. It would make both 50/34 on front and 11/34 on back, albeit 9 speed versus 11 speed.

And, no super human strength. Just an old fat guy who is not in the best shape, unfortunately.

If your chain isn't at least a link longer than the shortest it absolutely has to be, yes.

Chances are somewhat decent that it's long enough already.

Put it in the big/big, then push the bottom of the derailleur cage forward to see if the lower pivot of the rear derailer still had a little room to rotate forward. The more room it has before the stop, the better the chances everything will be just fine with existing chain.
