Undoing the mistakes of the previous fix. Turns out a 13G spoke does not tighten into a 12G nipple. Every day a school day. Still, at least I was able to sort it out without removing the wheel!

Still buzzing after last night's social group ride.

We headed North through Everton, with a brief pause to check out the new #PelotonLiv mini-roads practice/play road network.

Sometimes I think owning a bike is just an excuse for buying more tools. #spanner #bikeTooter #Velophant

Today I road my first +200km ride ever. In 10h20m (8h05m of actual riding). So I'm well within the BRM time limit. Pretty stoked about it. I was planning to ride a real BRM200 next week but it's in the Ardennes and has 2600 alti meters. Not so sure about it now.

¨ Bookface algorithm thinks I want to watch Billie Eilish and also a self-sealing inner tube that's the same color as her hair. Both are true of me.

Oopsie. #cycling #velophant #bikes

For the love of <deity>, cycling--especially gravel--does not need another wheel size.

Not the best ride today (no legs, queasy), but still had fun nonetheless.

Sad news, Peter Rich was a big part of the Bay Area cycling community.

• I get "Google Alerts" for bicycle-related news. Somehow this "Crisis24" site qualifies, and it wants to warn people to avoid an activist group bicycle protest in Berlin tomorrow.

I, of course, have the opposite attitude. #BikeTooter #Vélophant

Ordering a new, full-suspension #mtb, so I’m looking forward to joining the Overbiked-and-Underskilled Club.

One year ago. Heavy rains did a number on the local trails.

The Tour de France might be over, and while their is still plenty of #ProCycling on the go, this evening I'm sitting down to watch the latest GCN+ plus film.

SD Worx really smashed the TT taking the top 3, and what a week Kopecky has had! I can imagine they are getting a bit excited in Belgium 😂

Niewiadoma put in a brilliant ride to secure her podium spot & Labous finished the race really strong.

Has to be a very disappointing race for FDJ & UAE (maybe throw in Jumbo) who barely got a mention all week and came away with nothing.

TTs are never really my thing, but this one at least provided some podium drama. All in all though it has been an excellent weeks racing, and if you tuned out after the mens Tour you really missed out.

Roll on the world champs now and the Tour of Scandinavia later in August

Chapeau to Niewiadoma! I often complain about how much energy she spends on fruitless attacks, but today was as close to perfect as you could get.

I honestly expected Bauernfeind to be the best Canyon rider, but Kasia showed she has found a new lvl. Sad that she didn't get the long awaited win, but she seemed so happy with her performance that I'm sure it will boost her to that win

AVV I think did the right thing in refusing to just let Demi sit on her wheel coming off Col d’Aspin, but I think the finish showed who is the strongest climber this year.

Blown away by Kopecky's ride (great scenes with Demi when she crossed the line) and she is still in with a good shout for a top 3 in GC tomorrow!

Labous? Best French GC rider in women or mens cycling?

And Elisa Longo Borghini is out with a skin infection, between COVID, crashing out of the Giro and now this she has horrible luck this year
