In other news, whyfi showed chauffeured me around Minnie, and I have to say I am super impressed. Fish tacos were better than anything back home, and the bike shop actually had taste. If it wasn’t for the lack of humidity I would consider moving here.

The bike shop had an Allied Echo in my size! I actually got to touch it. If I wasn’t in my uniform I would have asked to ride it, not that the uniform really stopped me. More of the fact I would prolly crash, and I am sure they have a break if you buy it policy.
And don’t even make me bring up the Moots.

They were fast enough to win a sprint (barely) against an angry farm dog.

I tried a heavy application of blue thread locker and then about three wraps of PTFE tape (cups still screwed in easily) when that didn't work. The tape helped, but didn't fix it.
What should I try now, more tape? Is there anything else?

If you want an assembly prep, you might want more of a gap filler than a thread locker. I used (I think) 709 on my 09 Tarmac b.b. bearings in 2017 and they are still there, never make noises. It's a bb30 and I could pull the bearings out of with my fingers.

Accidentally squeezed the pool acid jug after opening it and caught a pretty good whiff. Might be time to get a pool guy
