let you google that for me
Haha no there is a bend in the top tube as it's a size XS.Is there some optical illusion going on in the pic of daughter's bike, or did you accidentally go full gorilla on the bike stand clamp on the top tube?
What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

Aside from the silliness on the way to work, I engaged in some silliness of my own on the way home along the bike path.
Misjudged the a speed of the bloke on a roadie I came up behind and decided to lay out some wattage and reel him in and pass. Then found him on my back wheel and now I had to maintain the pace or face the shame of being dropped by the droppee… Man was I glad when my turn off came up!!!

Well all this fucking rain, work, and no riding sent me down into a late night garage session...there was no worm activity.
But my daily ride (nuke proof rook ss) has been creaking like a mother fucker for the last couple of weeks. Originally i was pretty sure the issue was the old ks under seat lever dropper, so I stripped that and refreshed it with out luck. So then I began to suspect the DU bushings in the shock, but rather than fuck around with solving that I decided to install one of my spare shocks (rs monarch, freshly serviced and barely used). Off comes the fox magic and behold! Visually the DUs look brand new. So I cycle the rear end...fuck me that is some noise! Motion feels smooth though. Oh I see...it's the zip ties. So all zip ties come off, relevant area of outer cable receives a thin layer of gaff tape, fresh zip ties on, shock back on, and fucking great success.
Now I need some new mounting hardware for the scout. The cane creek doesn't want to hold firmly to the originals. I am going full ham on it.
I see a certain off road bikes site has titanium options...fuck me, they have 1. It's the kind of thing you need 2 for. Sigh. Surely these should come in pairs!!!!

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
I’ve got XC tyres on my Honzo for riding with the kids and the occasional Gravel foray, they work well.
My Brother in Law rides Rekon Races on his Norco HT in all weathers on all trails on the pea gravel over here the mad bastard. Having an MX background and no fear probably helps there

Ride a slow 10km loop at Majura. Was prime hero dirt conditions, but I haven't ridden for a while so no heroics I thought.
Followed mate down Pinot Grinio who is marginally quicker than me on most dh stuff, felt smooth. Went across then up the hill and did Planet Claire, then back to the carpark. Mate's crank fell off a few mins after the downhill, twice in the couple of k's back to the car.
Good to be back on the bike. Got home and realised I had a 3 second faster record time for Pinot, and had not ridden since late December last year.
Bike was almost like it hadn't had a break, low tyres obviously, needed air in the dropper which was sticking just below full extension a few times and both shocks were marginal. All aired up for the next ride soon.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
I have an MX background……. Fucked if I know when it’s gonna start helping

I have passed on the message. He has SLX on the Titan, and Deore were the ones that let go on the trail bike, I think Titan deserves your cranks.

his flabber is totally gastered
A drop or two of lube on the chain wouldn't go astray either.
