Wyatt Earp

Some racing vibes.

I would be livid. Especially for the legend he is.

Everyone wants to see justice, tge harshest outcome for the lad. Well, he has done enough to punish himself and his name for life. If the victims seek justice. the need to decide on a way forward, and if the trauma that comes with it will justify tte the outcome. I know this is good old Bikehub, so don’t misconstrue my views. I have no sympathy for him. He also destroyed a good family name along the way.

The wife and myself off to dinner last night.

Those are great My son, daughter and wife each have one. It’s great to see them wear them, also makes them understand my watch passion a little better.

Speedy today with a colorful strap for the summer.

Wearing quite a rare reference today. Speedmaster Omega “Tintin” moonwatch with hesalite and manual wind movement.

It’s quite solid, I have bought 4 watches from there over the years. Also from Japan. You pay the price and delivery, once it arrives in the country, you get notified by the couriers to pay customs.

Loads of evidence to support bigger wheels being faster. Don’t hold back chaps. ScreenRecording_08-13-2025 08-13-24_1.mov

No They need to take off to have any chance of existing. Having another option that manufacturers aren’t supporting, will just be yet another hair-brained fad. We’ve been here before with Blacksheep almost 10 years ago. As for it being banned for racing in UCI events, doesn’t stop it from existing. Niner got their geometry dialed in because they were a small manufactures at the time, they could build, go and ride, come back and tinker and cut, then go out again till they had what they deemed good. I had around 8-9 Niners over time, with one of those being a custom built SIR9.

If, and that is a very big if, they take off. It’s gonna take another 6-8 years for them to dial the geometry in. Guys who rode those early 26 inch Kona’s and Gary Fishers will know what I’m talking about, and that was on 26 inch. Not even to mention the 29 inch Fishers. My 2005 Gary Fisher 29 inch rode like a limo, long top tube and horrible on tight trails, I called it my farm gate. Surly’s Karate Monkey, which came out before the first commercially available 29’ers (Gary Fisher bikes) was better dialed in. And let’s look at why 29 inch took off. BSD of 622 mm has always been available, to go fully commercial, and release a line of bikes, wasn’t too difficult from there on. Once the geometries got dialed in and more manufacturers made tyres, it was only inevitable for it to fully take off. Thank heavens the gear ratios were next, as many a rider wouldn’t have been able to turn the cranks at an efficient cadence. 27.5 kinda took off, simply because 650 was another readily available hoop size. This is a whole different world, 660 mm BSD is a whole new wheel size.

Thought I would pop in to see who the doping experts are lately. It makes for great entertainment.

Viva Le Tour

JLC Polaris today.

Some Seiko magic today. Tis puppy is close on 50 years old.

All good, you must pop in some time .

Hey Stretched Haven't seen your name on here an a long time, then again I don't hop in here too often. How are you ?

Thanks Splat much appreciated. I've worked on many of these older wheels over the years. Constantly fixing "expert wheelbuilders" work and thats often the biggest challenge. It's only a few years in to wheel ownership the true test of. good build shows. Provided the nipples move freely, I would definitely be able to help. Wheel tech has changed immensely over the years, one of my latest builds.

It’s gonna take a lot more than that to hit a nerve. I enjoy fixing home expert mechanics jobs, some should stick to Lego.

Novatec is available locally and priced well.

Oh the good old days.When men were hard, before they traded their putters for MTB’s. The good old singlespeed battles out on that course. What an event 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Maybe I should get him in to rebuild a Force AXS shifter for me, with new plunger and piston included. It’s Lego.

If you go over par, you still get dronk with all the other hacks, if you go over the bar, it’s straight to ER and Oros for dinner.

Never hang up the cleats. Golf is for quitters.
