Popular Post sheep_herder ★ Posted May 30, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 30, 2020 I plan to start cycling again this summer. Thus, I purchased some new tires, Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700c Tire (HS 440) Black/Reflective - 700c x 28mm. I currently have Jack Browns on the front and rear, but it seems there may be some rub on the fork, as these are 700x33.1mm and high profile tires. I noticed this the last time I rode the bicycle. Thus, these new tires are for the front, and I'll keep the Jack Browns for the rear. This is the last bicycle that Mike DeSalvo built for me several years ago. I also have a new saddle that I bought several years ago, and hope it will be nice and comfy. I'll see if I can find a photo of the bike the last time I rode it several years ago. I've also taken the cages off of the pedals. 9 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've upped my miles and dropped my pounds with the shelter at home gig. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke the bone in the outside of my hand a few years ago while working sheep. I was too old and the bone was too far off alignment to just set the break, so they lined them up and pinned them together. Removal of the pin was the most severe pain, I've endured other than a gall bladder attack. Figured I could work on building that bike with the cast, and it worked. That photo may have been the first ride, as I took it to the LBS to show the owner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo was taken several years ago, but I'll probably shave this one off in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
