The Bike Shop / What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

« on: November 16, 2012, 12:22:31 AM »

Did big things on my bike last night/this morning.

I went from from 4 steel pegs and a straight cable (26.2 lbs), to pegless brakeless and removed my hub guard (probably <24lbs). Put on new (2nd hand) tree sequoia bars (up from branch bars, .5" taller, 1.5" wider, angled further forward), with new long necks, new odyssey aitken railed seat, dropped my thomson post down about 3/4" so my seat won't touch the ground when the bike is flipped over (in an effort to make it last longer), new madera seatpost clamp (had to go buy a 3/16" allen as this is the only part in the world that uses this wrench), new stainless ceramic headset bearings (free 2nd hand off a road bike at work), new 9t driver for my ratchet hub (now running 28-9 instead of 28-10), new specialized compound 2.1 rear tire (about 1/2lb lighter than my old glh, and retails for $20), and did some touch up coats of paint on my frame.

it feels like a new bike. I'm loving the bigger bars for everything except tables so far. no handers are about 10x easier.

This is Cosby. Going by the vet's estimations, he should be about 8 or 9. He's been living with me for almost three years now. He is super big and friendly, but he hates other cats. Or any other animal at all for that matter. He enjoys bossing the alley all hours of the day and night. He's my main man.
