I recently had my Fuji Absolute tuned up and had a basket installed for convenient camera carry and commuter potential, dubbed "Midnight Oil" I rode nearly 4400 miles on these two wheels in 2019.

I met Dan while attending a Tuesday night shop ride, and over the last couple of years have developed a fondness for random conversations with him. He needed a new "family" photo of his crew, and I needed a fix to my rear tire. Seems like a fair enough trade for me, thanks for everything you do Slow Roll Cycles crew. Stay awesome!

Thats the danger with taking a knackered much repaired inner tube away with you. Yep, so hot the old patch glue melted. Emergency repair with a bit of plastic bag :-0 However very useful to have cycle repair benches conveniently provided.
Really digging my super cool beam torque wrench 😚

Got it in a trade with a Kogswell Owners Group member--mine G1 P/R fork for his Konversion fork with no canti-studs. It worked for me since I was using Center pull brakes anyway. Had to leave bunch of steerer and use bunch of spacers
lower trail; felt the difference when riding over the weekend. Had to fiddle with how the rack/fender/fork all fit together, but it worked
Push as hard as you need, laterally, with your foot, against the mid point of the chain. Then roll the chain. You only need to pop the chain out of alignment of one or two teeth and it'll start to drop off.
I've done this before when the chain has been *very* tight (after dropping a link) and haven't noticeably deformed the chain or chainring teeth.
I bought a set of tools on eBay from MountainBikeTools, a seller from San Diego who sells the cup remover, the headset press, and the crown race installer for $50. Besides the crown race installer, the other two tools were both used and very useful.
doesn't look much different, but the offset increases from 4.5cm to 6.4cm. I think now the trail is in the low 30's

with tons of spacers; I cleared out local (Ukiah, CA) bike shop's stock of 1" steerer spacer; I also have to use a shim to use the 1" steerer together with the 1 1/8" stem
