1 new flatware grip
New frequencyG rear tire
Took off the bare-plastic Nigel seat I was trying out for a few sessions and replaced it with my old MacNeil flatland seat. The underside grip was severely lacking and was very uncomfortable to rest my knee against while cruising. Now if only my cracked MacNeil seat will hold for just a few more weeks til I can get a new one back in Texas...
Cleaned and regressed the seatbolt and wd-40'd some rust off the inside seattube on my intrikat.

Cut my old Hoffman grips off and used some gorilla glue to slide new flatware cuff link grips on.

Glued my plastic pivotal seat where it was cracking to keep it from getting worse.

Tightened up a few creaky spokes on my front wheel and gave all of em on the rear a nice quarter turn. Love the popping sounds on the next ride!

Dripped some gorilla glue under my grips bc they were throttling.

Patched 3 tubes, dug out tiny bits of glass from my tires and rotated them.

Put some loc-tite on the threads of my new odyssey thunderbolt cranks now that the BB and press fit sprocket have finally settled into place.

I had a Carlos kind of night. Was going to go for a ride on the DB24 and discovered the front tire was flat. Drove to the bike shop and got a tube. Installed the tube and headed out. Made it a little over a mile before I heard a hiss hiss hiss coming from the back end. Ran over a fucking nail just long enough to puncture the tire/tube. Since the puncture was so tiny I was able to make it home before it went completely flat. Went back to the shop and bought two tubes, installed the rear tube and decided to drink beer instead of going for a ride.

I feel ya, that's how it is down here in Mexico sometims! I threw away so many tubes back in the day before I realized patching works great.

1/4 turn on the creaky front spokes and tightened my nankai bamboo hub. Rode her hard for a couple hours getting ready for voodoo jam
