    What have you been riding lately?

    Another round with The Wolverine today. This time with a friend from my bike activists group. We rode around a few lakes in the south of Potsdam, the neighboring city in the southwest of Berlin. With the ride to our meeting point this puts another 88 kilometers on the clock... So in total I...

    The Square One 1️⃣ (.....finally!)

    I like your paint booth! With that actual heat the paint must be dry very fast! That paint job came out well. Great choice of colors! (grey goes so well with many other colors) And that wheel set is awesome. Can't wait to see it in person (25.8. -> Badefahrt?)😉

    What have you been riding lately?

    Bikebrain reboot. After more than 3 weeks of Florida CarCulture I need some exercise. So I took The Wolverine for a spin through the Grunewald... Not too bad after almost 4 weeks without cycling...

    To be honest, I just don't feel the dart underneath the hotwheels badge (no matter if black or red). I think if you fill in the badge with red (instead of the black), it should be enough by itself on the blank guard.

    UNLIMITED Stacey’s Mom aka the Tall-Goose

    I just reread the respective part of the instructable. It looks like the only way to get at it is to continue guessing... But calculating with about 66% of your weight as pressure force for the shocks should about get you there... 🤷‍♂️

    What have you been riding lately?

    Today we rode the most "Berlin" track you can ride in Berlin. We circled the whole former western part of our city on the so called Mauerweg. A marked route that mostly follows along the former Berlin Wall. It's 165 km long and we made it (with a few breaks) within 12 hours. At shortly past...

    TRADITIONAL Old Lace

    By now I expected to find this thread at the bottom of page two, but no, there are six more slackers behind me... 🤣 Yesterday I brought the BuggyTrike back to the campground and also stashed the PoP from this build there. I'll probably pull it back out for the StepThroughBO in September... So...

    SWB0 CobblestoneRat - Done, but still getting little upgrades... ;-)

    Don't know yet. We will be there in the last week of July and the first two weeks of August, mostly in Lakeland and Cape Coral, that's where my wife has relatives that we want to visit... If I get access to a bike I'll probably ride it around. We will see...

    SWB0 CobblestoneRat - Done, but still getting little upgrades... ;-)

    Today I finally found time for the urgent wheel swap. When trying to swap the tires I ran into an unusual problem: I couldn't get the valve undone because the little nut was crooked: I had to use brute force to get it out... The rear hub looks pretty much shot. I don't think I'll find a proper...

    What have you been riding lately?

    It was the last Friday of June and I just came back from a nice ride on the Critical Mass Berlin. Someone said the whole treck was 3 km long. I would guess that we were above 2000 riders tonight. As the CobblestoneRat is still out, I took the Wolverine today...

    Dunlop valves are pretty much standard here in Germany, except on MTB and race bikes ...
