Riding 35% grades on your gravel bike or something?
when you have a bike repair stand in the garage but too lazy to go and work there

Built another bike for a buddy... found this complete, but rough 70s Japanese built supercycle on kijiji for free... tore it down, tossed all the litespeed take offs on it, kinda like it. 9x2 ultegra, forged sugino crank, good stuff
Does anyone have a headset cup removal tool?
Use a block of wood and hammer that around the edges; same sameThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That's a removal tool not an install tool. If you take the bare frame to a bike shop they'll usually do it for next to nothing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Barring that - if you have an old seat post you can make your own
or order from amazon and return afterwards saying incompatible
should I add 2-3 chain links?

dont worry i am reusing some of the extra dura ace chain link hahaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
im actually considering going 40t + 11-28 instead of current 42t + 11-32
I think one (inner and outer) might be fine, 3 would add quite a bit. I'm no expert and I haven't stayed at holiday inn express lately.
This is a good deal for a bike stand IMO.

Had to go back in time to 2016 to find a 63cm frameset:

The X5 i bought earlier this year really is FULLY LOADED though not a single option missing including infrared night driving
That's not how the fork goes into the frame.
Little something for this old workhorse... the chain dropping finally annoyed me enough to do something about it, went up 2T and went oval for the narrow wide, quick test and it’s holding on well, can’t wait to put it through it’s paces
Nice. I am considering that for next year's upgrade.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Bought these and installed them last night on the gravel:
Watch the cat for different holiday hats!
Hard to say how much of this is from the shape and tooth count, and how much is just from having the confidence to actually shift gears without the chain dropping... but, damn! Same route, same time of day, roughly same “freshness”
Those are completely different effort levels if your heart rate data is accurate. Strangely enough, your slower time seemed like you were working harder. Max speed is also massively different - that's a big downhill and not fitness related - did anything else bike wise change? Besides that, tough to compare commute times with a lot of variability in the ride (intersections, traffic, wind, tire pressure, etc).
