Rode home from work to a beautiful package waiting for me.

Well I smacked my ear(side of my head) on a bench when I messed up on a butcher. Now I'm sitting here in the E.R. good thing I had a helmet on.

Finally got my gyro set up all put together, had a hard time finding a short enough top cable so I was going to use old Astroglide bits and dérailleur cables to make one. But I managed to find a short top cable while I was at the shop picking up the gear to make one

Noticed how different an Ody Medium feels when on the bend. Triggers never felt weird in that spot but I want to try a different lever blade shape

I've always hated the way medium levers feel stock. I always take a wrench and put a nice curve in it. It feels better when its on the bend of the bars as well.

Tuned the 26" today and shredded some local enduro trails.

Same here! I always tweak the mediums out a bit and I love how they feel afterward.

Found out the grind side dropout is cracked along the fork tube on my 4 year old Fly forks. Proceeded to smash tooths on a jersey barrier with no snapping. They still have the zebra paint job i put on them 4 years ago as well, i'm pretty bummed. They had a good run!

Put my dehart tires back on for the trip to work. They feel so much better with the new wheels. I'm thinking of painting my forks bars and frame teams red or maybe just the frame.

In the words of Laz, the shithole conspiracy raptor wheels. It was going to be a primo hub set to whatever rims I was going to purchased but I'm lazy and don't feel like putting wheels together.

Did you get a BTR or a normal raptor? I quite like Shadow wheels (especially the BTR with duel guards)

Just regular raptors. He had the female kit on it already so I scooped them up. The btr looks nice I saw it up close at the shop a while ago. This raptor will do for now though. I'm not a hard rider so i hope they don't explode for no reason.

Switched my fixed to single speed and put the front brake on and some old cult pedals. Fixed its flat too. Gonna get some new bars and a basket soon.

Was going to weld some extensions on my bars (got some from a buddy, cut to 25 though) but didn't.

Might switch back to a cassette tomorrow and throw on some fronts.
