Si', tires yes. 25 are to large for the rear stays. If the rim get even a little out of true I get rubbing. Or if I climb standing it deflects enough to rub. I did yesterday's ride on 23s. It was way better. 25s may ride smoother. But I don't do this for a smooth ride. Although 10 psi lowered pressure made a huge diffrrence.

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?

Every thousand year span is a millennium. 1835-1934 is one, for example, though it would be an odd one to focus on.

If it's for the low position set up. Here's what I do.
Shift to the small ring. And lowest gear in back. (biggest cog) Use the limit screw to adjust the derailure to make contact with the chain. (I know it's counterintuitive) loosen the fixing bolt.. pull the slack out of the cable. Tighten the fixing bolt. Now loosen the limit screw to take the slack out of the cable and move the derailuer off the chain. Now you have a zero position with no slack.

He does look like a sweet one. And Geoff says "Sorry, but it's nap time."
When it comes to cat names, I think a lot of people expect something at least a little exotic, like Dashiell or Mica. People ask me what my rescue cats name is. I tell them he came with the name Stephen and they find his pedestrian human name so funny.

I think I am finally starting to get out of my fatigue funk. Further, I think it has been entirely driven by really poor nutrition choices for the past couple of weeks.

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.

Another time one was on a limb when it caught sight of a clueless squirrel hopping around. The bird froze, got this glare in its eye and slowly started to lean forward. Me and another guy were like "This is going to be so cool!" Hawk launches itself right at the squirrel, who had its back to the hawk. At the very last second, the squirrel, having no idea he was about to become lunch, hopped under a park bench. Hawk pulls up and hits the bench. Some feathers go flying. Hawk sits on the bench for a few minutes grooming his ruffled chest feathers then takes off.

We have them in the heart of the city. On the fall you can often find them hunting in a major urban square downtown after the leaves have fallen from the trees. They catch rats, pigeons squirrels. Pigeons flocking in circles is usually a good sign that one is in the area. One time there was one on a limb picking at a rat it had caught. Piece of guts were falling to the ground. Most people walking around don't notice them because they never look up.

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.
