  Bar tape is a mess and it's wildly unfashionable but it's super comfy. I refuse to coordinate colors. Hypnolobster fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Sep 10, 2023 |

 Big windy lake visit and then a bunch of industrial gravel exploration/trespassing.

tarlibone posted:New bike day! Ayyyy I've got a 4130 as well. I do wish I could de-sticker it, but they're under the clearcoat. It's a little much. Things I've discovered in the last couple thousand miles; the stock wheels are prone to breaking spokes. They're fine for lots of people, but certainly weren't for me. State is pretty good about reimbursing for broken spokes, but it's an annoying experience. I got hunt 4 season wheels and haven't had a problem since. Stock cassette and derailleur are very much low hanging fruit to swap. SRAM rival long cage is perfect and makes an immediate improvement, and any 11-42 cassette (sram, shimano, sunrace, etc) will go right on and also help a ton. The Rival will shift a 11-46 really well if you do want more than 1:1. The stock levers are surprisingly good in my experience. The brakes need some love if you go fast or down hills, but just throwing on TRP Spyre or Juin Tech solves the problem. If you do change the levers and have the bar tape off, compressionless housings make a huge difference in brake feel. e: bike picture for relevance  Hypnolobster fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Oct 20, 2023 |

It snowed and stayed cold for a week so I ordered a pair of conti top contact winter II's (and one contact spike 120) and as a result all of the snow has disappeared, making sure I never get to play in the snow.  The least-great great lake was pretty though.
