I am starting to wonder if the trails behind the mall might in fact be some sylvan idyll or the author himself a hirsute adonis. What other truths have been hidden from us by the sub standard photography on this blog?

Semi-professional or not, do you think you could put in just a little extra effort into the photography for us please? Not of that depraved Litespeed though, the less seen of that thing, the better.<br /><br />PS: so good is the CC photography, I could tell they have mismatched tubes on the Renovo!

Also my other tubeless bike has no valve caps. But since you have to use the little thread-on nuts with tubeless valves you might as well let them wear their little valve hats too.

Two of the hoses are 'lead free', because apparently, the hose industry (aka "Big Hose") adds lead to make them more pliable. <br /><br />One lead-free hose is dedicated to the small vegetable garden, the other is dedicated to kids and the sprinkler they like to run through on hot days. <br /><br />The leaded hose is for full suspension mountain bikes. I don't own such a bike, so that hose is in a state of disuse. <br /><br />That Moots full-suspension MTB on Bainbridge Island looks silly.<br />Chazunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-7026166902680490112019-05-28T12:41:49.890-04:002019-05-28T12:41:49.890-04:00Harrumph.
