New Pins n Drills

 As with the cleats of my running career, we use powertools to attach the pins.

Some of the pins broke going in, I hope the stainless is not too brittle - some got hot and were really stiff to get out or in.

I put 12mm on one side and 10mm on the other to see which I prefer, test ride tomorrow am time to goto sleep!

2.5 mm allen key cut n turned into a bit

12mm side

Post Boggs, Maybe Wente, Just Ride

 Dropped the Pike to 50psi, and removed the last token. We will see how loose it feels in Marin.

Santa almost went with DL to Wente work weekend, but he chose to risk the maybe-cracked Trek.

And so I take it tomorrow.


Yeti worked great for Boggs, race tires feel too fast but have not really failed.

Moved on to G-Form Pads

and you can too. Knees too  



Ordered new spikes for the Race Face Chesters - they are bent if not dull.

10mm, standard length



12mm, out of spec


and nuts, AC says I don't need em
