ya quedo puesto el nuevo desviador y piñon en mi *mula híbrida yucateca* para seguir dándole a las subidas en la loma.. sí que se siente la diferencia, sólo falta hacer lo mismo con mi mtb y a seguir haciendo pierna y pulmón... 😀🚲 ⛰️

I just installed a pair of Green marathon (done with the multiple punctures on dirty london roads for a while) with that TyreGlider.
This is the new sliced bread, I ordered a pair to have on all the bikes tool bags

Hermosura de piñones mega range 🤩, tal vez muchos ya los consideren obsoletos pero a mi me gustan por su sencillez y por económicos.. ya me los quiero estrenar en dos de mis bicis.. 🚲⚙️🚴🏻‍♂️

My trusted steed just passed the 23,000km mark today.

Looks like it needs new rotors, pads, chain and maybe a cassette and at least an afternoon of my time

Wishing him many more km

this simple folding mechanism of my basic mtb has endured more than I expected. in fact it's not for extreme jumps or acrobatics but at least, it has not been bad for my rides on the hills... 🚲🚵‍♂️

That does not look right.

I installed that with the torque key so I am a bit puzzled and annoyed

@isol oh okay, this is definitely not that, this is a seam, or line, or whatever it is, following around the tube's circumference. I think on a wall, mostly. (as opposed to the road-facing side or something like that._)

as for the rubber aging, yeah totally could be, idk, i mean, after five and a half years i'm fine with retiring this one?

but if it were only a year or two old i'd be leaning towards patching and keeping it as a backup if nothing else

after having three bikes and tuning them with many parts, I hadn't considered this basic thing which should have been the first... 🤪🚲🛞

it's the first time that during my ride, the left crank of my mtb came off and I was left without the nut where it's tightened, so I came back like turtle trying to pedal with extreme care... I didn't know exactly why, but lately some parts have been loosening up just to go through rough terrain, when they're supposed to have to endure more.... 😮‍💨 😕

Bought myself a pair of lightly used Schwalbe Marathon Winter tyres 2nd hand. Size on tyre is 35-622 or 700-35c. Rim on the DT Swiss MA 1.9 wheel says 622x20.

Other 700c tyres fit like a glove, but this Marathon Winter is way too big in circumference and won't seat.

What the hell is up? I've never felt so confused with something so seemingly simple and very familiar.

Bicycle wheel held up by the tyre, revealing a large gap between the tyre and the rim.

even the little details make a difference... in this case, I changed the bell in my humble mtb and the pedals of my ebike... 👍🚲🚵‍♂️ 👇 before/after

a new upgrade has been done... new shimano chainring and derailleur in my <<all changed>> bike 😛 and the difference is noticeable even if the current parts are not high-end compared with the previous stock parts.... 🚲 ⚙️

The one tool that I am really growing on me is the bearings press. I had great plans for a Hope BB on my daily driver but in the end it's with my son's bike that this has proven to be the most useful

So I ordered two more tools:

Tire Glider (the red, small thing)
Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack (the big black thing)

Tire Glider claims to make installing tires tireless and my friend confirmed it worked well for him. Another friend told me it didn't work for him because it simply didn't glide on the rim because the tire was just too tight. And it was exactly what happened lol maybe spraying so.e soapy water on the rim and tire bead would help...

But the bead Jack totally worked. When the tire bead is that tight, all that matters is leverage! (Or if you have iron thumbs and arms)... This thing worked like a charm. It is bigger (so only useful at home) so there's way more leverage.

It appears to be a lever or clamp, possibly for bicycle brake maintenance. The top object is a small, bright red, triangular plastic wedge with a small finger loop and the brand name "Ice Toolz" molded into the plastic.

so, a new bike spring, new bumps to go through... actually, the frame is the only original component at the moment... everything else has been new pieces... 😝 🤷‍♂️ 🚲 #BikeMaintenance
