En liten recension på mitt nya bakhjul tillverkat hos John https://wheellab.cc/.
Tidigare skrev jag på Happyforumet att min bakfälg hade blivit skadat
Jag har ett ovanligt hjulpar för min fetcykel med baknavets bredd på 177 mm, fälgens diameter 27,5” och bredd 52 mm. Det är faktiskt enklare …

Packaging Box
The longest side of the box is 90 cm, its weight is 9 kg.
Inside the box, the frame is partially wrapped with Styrofoam sheets, and handlebar
and front wheel are tied to …

UPDATE 2019-10-24: korrigerade “vänstra” och “högra” i beskrivningen.
Bättre sent än aldrig. Efter flera förbrukade kedjor har jag bytt ut den lilla
framklingan för en ny av samma typ.
Den vänstra klingan är ny, direkt före installationen på vevet.
Den har tydligen alla sina tänder asymmetriska, några är kortare och …

Mina observationer under besöket
-
Väder var skit, men stigarna torkades snabbt efter solen dyker upp. Det blåste
kraftigt vilket hjälpte torka marken. Stark vind orsakade att vissa lifter
stängdes en gång.

Vattentäta kläder behövdes. Lera flög åt alla håll och kröp in i minsta hål
i utrustningen. Vattentäta byxor och …

Idag brast en av kedjeplattor på min GT:s kedja KMC X10. Jag råkade märka det när jag
vilade mellan träningsvarven, efter att jag la cykeln på marken åt sidan och
slumpmässigt kastade blick på klingan.
Jag är osäker när det hände, det skedde antingen idag vid street-träning
eller …

My trusty front fenders from SKS started to show wear and tear.
Although I will be able to rock with them for at least a half of
the a season, I decided to make something myself, like those
fancy mudguards that are mounted close to the wheel with Zip-ties.
I …

Both of my bikes will be transported by a moving company this month. Either
in a truck, or by air.
So I have to prepare them for the transfer as a luggage. For that purpose,
I obtained a couple of bike covers (one self-made and one bought).
One of known …

I can subscribe under every word from the post:
Over a Beer at Singletracks
When I sit still, my temperament experiences a fundamental change.
It is so damn sad I will not take part in this weekend’s MMB autumn 2016.
That could be the last possibility for me to …

Нет времени дооформить, но бросать тоже нет желания.
Мы живём в эпоху, когда нет недостатка в вещах. Эту потребность уже практически
удовлетворили. Купить можно многое.
Мне надо переезжать, и встаёт выбор: везти вещи и заморачиваться на этом, или
всё бросить-продать тут, а там купить новое?
С одной стороны, второй вариант …

I finally decided that my first MTB wheelset is worn out enough to be
thrown away. Besides, I’ve switched to using disk brakes, and the old
hubs were simply incompatible.
Before throwing old stuff away, I wanted to look how things wore for
four years. The front hub sounded …

Длинный поход — дольше, чем сутки, и с посещением просёлочных и лесных дорог.
Опытным путём установлено, что следующие предметы очень нужны.
- Смазка для цепи. В дождливую погоду или при путешествии через
залитые канавы цепь промывается за 100 км или за сутки.
- Чистая белая хб ткань. Протирать цепь, раз в день.
- Щётка …

The box it came in (~15 kg):
The inscribing on the top of it clearly says that it is not a customer
who has to assemble the bike but the shop. The shop asked 1.5 krub for
the procedure, and it was decided for the pleasure to be mine …

This was my first experience in several aspects. The first time I ever
rode a fatbike. The first time I was riding a bike outside Russia. The
first time I rode on a trail without a helmet (oops!)
The bike itself is Motobecane:
The trip took about 100 minutes, 17 …

An awesome book about mountain bike basics, techniques, tricks. Very
humorous. The best part of it is that it is made as cartoons (all 170+
pages!) — an unbelievable thing to me. Drawings are eye-catching.
