I think the move back to 23mm wheels is the correct direction. The bike is so much more snappy and easy to keep @ speed. Rides nice @ 110psi front and back. I just bought another pair for back up set. On the negative side my replacement wheel shipped this morning, that set is 25mm wide. Oh well.

FWIW I have found 23mmF and 25mmR to be ideal for my applications. The only nuisance is when the rear is worn I can't move F to R like conventional wisdom suggests.

Found this guy perched on the roof this morning. Any idears?
We have a lot of Mississippi Kites in our area, but this looks different. Unless it's a ute.
Sorry for cell, would have taken too long to run back in and get the big cam.

Hey, what is the favored way to create slack in a FD cable for adjustment? Right now, I'm shifting to the large ring, jamming an object between the chain and the cage, and popping the lever. Seems somewhat inelegant and I often don't get the slack I need. I have a 4th hand tool, but it breaks cable strands. Any other techniques?

So this is Cyrus, a partially blind and deaf dog that we are fostering until he gets adopted. He is partially blind and deaf because of an irresponsible breeder who then compounded their irresponsibility by dumping all their unwanted dogs onto a shelter. (Seriously, people who run puppy mills are going straight to hell.) Cyrus spent the first year of his life in a kennel with virtually no socialization.
He's been in foster care for about 6 months and has made tremendous progress, he's just a very sweet happy playful boy now. His first foster caregiver had to move so my wife and I are watching him and we've had him for a little over a week. He's very respectful of our cats (seen here with recent foster fail kitten Geoff the polydactyl) and is getting along well with our resident dogs who can sometimes be a little cranky. (Seen here with Steve, the miniature pinscher mix.)
He's an Australian Shepherd and is incredibly smart, already knows a few basic commands and we're going to keep working with him on that. He picks things up very quickly.
