All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

I see your viewpoint but if you ever get serious about riding you will want to ride one bike so you can maximize your technique. Much easier to focus on riding faster when your bike is dialed

 

Yeah, I usually camp. Haven't ever gotten a hotel because of all the good camp spots around. That said, I was there a few weeks ago and it was perfect. still some traffic but nothign we couldn't handle and it didn't slow us down at all. this weekend will be a completely different story.

 

My new cranks finally came in after backlogged dealers. Can’t wait to ride tomorrow

 

anyone know if this is an issues? looks like the actual shift cable itself is intact but the cassette/chain still make a clicking noise like it wants to change gears but I seem to have been able to tune that out with the barrel adjuster for the most part. and yes, the hanger is straight. just not sure if its worth swapping the shift cable/housing.

 

Personally I’d put new cable and housing on.

 

Definitely swap it. If the housing isn’t right the cable can get hooked up and cause shifting issues.
Tolerances are super precise with modern 12 sp drivetrains. Even a weird bend in the housing can cause clicking or missed shifts.

 

The smoke coming in is making for some crazy dramatic skies. I won’t lie, at one point I was getting a little worried as the smoke started to make it hard to breathe...
Put these in chronological order through the ride.

 

Apparently, a new one started up near you around Allenspark this afternoon. Cameron Peak is out of control. All natural areas up here west of FoCo/Loveland are now closed/mandatory evac’d. Even if I wanted to ride, I can’t. Sad, sad times up here right now!

It's 7 miles from our house right now.... Went from 1 to 3,000 acres in three hours. Scary shit.

 

Stay safe out there!

Just saw another one started off rampart range road 12 miles west of Castle Rock.

 

@abacall Be safe CO fam

 

Be safe up there and reach out if you need anything!

 

@abacall you're always welcome in my spare room if you need it!

 

That’s what she said.

 

Devils Backbone has since been evacuated. The latest evacuation line is 2 miles from my house. Shits getting real now. This fire is now considered the biggest fire in Colorado history.

Taken last night from a ridge just east of the Backbone looking west to the fire 5 miles away.

 

Yeah I know, I’ve been following all of it very closely! Be safe, and same to you, reach out if you need anything.

 

Same with you, this is really scary.

 

I’m good, east side of FoCo. Can see the glow now behind Horsetooth Mountain. It is scary! Stay safe!!!
