What Did You Do To Your Bicycle Today Thread.

[Holden McNeil]

Very nice build, looking great... Ti is a very nice ride. I have a litespeed that has over 25,000 miles on it and it is still going strong.

Bill

Thanks. I have a Serotta Legend Ti cyclocross bike that made me a convert. Don't you also have the Fulcrum Zeros?

Edit: Build Finished and completed a maiden voyage. I love it.

Lost a jockey wheel 3/4 of a lap into my first race this year. Made it another half lap before it gave up completely. Soooo new jockey wheels. Full teardown with a good cleaning and a wax. New cables new BB (GXP that lasted 3/4 of a season) and a set of BB7's to replace my ever problematic juicy's. Have some Stan's crest on the way to wrap with race kings set up tubeless. Should shave 600+ grams from my Havocs. It's going to be like a whole new bike again.

Just wrapped my Nashbar Aero Bars with Cinelli bar tape

[genjy]

Replaced worn and bald Maxxis Zephyr 700x25 tires

Vittoria Zaffiro Pro 700x23 145 PSI

[GroceryGetter82]

SOLD my Rockhopper, looking to buy a bike for the Mrs in the near future.

[BsickPassat]

crashed my MTB a few times....

bought some Mavic Ksyrium Elite for the road bike

[lojasmo]

Added sme time attack clipless pedals. Did a 5 mile MTB loop in an hour. Fell...a lot.

[UBER_EURO_mk1]

changed my frame! from this



To this!

[GroceryGetter82]

Bought this...

[impact]

I got a Bontrager carbon bar and a set of Shimano Deore XT brakes (M-785).

Those brakes are... insane. Probably the best upgrade I ever did.

edit: also had to get an oversized stem

pictures!

[woodrowstar]

I thanked mine for making it to 5500 miles since Jan 16, 2012. Now we are heading out on I-80 to Battle Mountain, NV.

Built it

That POOR Peugeot, no bike deserves that fate.

I actually cleaned the CAAD

[fiatjeepdriver]

Back from the dead. I installed some xt m785 brakes on my jamis nemesis. It came with some avid elixir 3's that I used for around 700 miles but I never really liked. There is a night and day difference between the two brakes, easily one of the best upgrades I've done.

[merckx56]

Wasn't today...

Sunday called for a new front shifter cable and housing, and new white tape...

[Martinus]

No more SS/coaster ... re-laced my rear wheel ... not too bad, for my 1st lace job

[fiatjeepdriver]

Washed my cross bike and lubed the chains on it, a mtb, and a road bike. I also picked this up:



Not sure how I'll build it up but I've wanted a gt road bike since I got my zaskar. I have the polished aluminum fork but will most likely use the spare ritchey carbon fork I have so I can run a threadless stem.

[wunderdub]

Put some clip on aero bars on, adamo road saddle, and the forward seat post should be in later this week. Looking to get into the triathlon scene but want to see how the new bike would feel, picture later this week when the seatpost comes in

Decorated my bikes' area with an awesome gift from my friend...

[TerribleOne86X]

Fresh headset and new grips

[colnago]

Cygolite Explorer 1000 headlight, and Blackburn 2.0 USB "Flea" tail light. FWIW, took it for a test ride around the block...don't think I'd ever ride at night without at least a 750 lumen light.

[synthsis]

picked up my Garmin 510 Edge bundle from the LBS today. Got home and all setup on the bike on the trainer for a quick ride. I really like the data it provides and what it's going to do once I'm actually out on the road.

One thing I can't figure out though: How to get Heartrate and Cadence to show on the display. C

Can anyone help out with that? I can't find the answer in the manual or online. I get HR peak and avg in the post ride but that's not helping me during training stay out of the red.

[fiatjeepdriver]

No pictures at the moment but I installed my new ultegra 6700 crank, cassette, and derailluers. When I went to swap the cassette I found out I need a new freehub body since my alu one is too chewed up so I'm running a spare rear wheel for a bit.

[jnm2.0t]

Got up this morning and decided to check out a shop across the street from my local velo that I had never gone in before. I ended up coming home with some goodies!

Same as mine but I have white and Speedplay

[sticky euro]

Thew on some Nitto RB-018 bars on my humble Motobecane. Fizik bar tape is still on it's way.

[colnago]

From fizik Kurve "snake", to fizik Antares "Versus":




Also got a shoe refresh (electrical tape is not a testament to Sidi quality, but was to block 40F wind...didn't realize how much air got thru the mesh 'til it got cold) and went from:



...to "new old school" (hooray Megas!):

[jnm2.0t]

Latex + talc... at least on the front... rear got up to about 90psi then blew so forcefully it put a hole in my Conti 4000s... so now I have to replace that too.

[Vee-Dubber-GLI]

Ended up having a nail snap in two and then play pinball inside my rear tire and tube yesterday morning on my ride after work. Couldn't save the tire, either Go to local bike shop and see what they have; I ended up with a Bontrager SR1 and then pulled the old Conti off of the front and put it on the rear as the SR1 didn't seem to have the lined sidewall and thicker rubber that the Conti does. I've had them just shy of 350 miles.

Got it swapped, everything replaced, took it out for a short ride and it works. All that matters and I don't have to wait the 3-6 days the store said it would take for the SportContact to come in.

bought a Feedback Sports bike stand using my REI dividends

[joe@vwvortex]

Been a while since i've done anything to the bikes other than our tandem. No pics unfortunately. Installed a Campy Chorus 11 crankset on my roadbike to replace my FSK Kforce which went through BB's every year or so. Bike is still Campy 10 speed and the new crank shifts flawless and is finally clunk free. New chain going on as well.

Put a new Thompson 31.8 110mm stem on the Blur LT with new Easton EC70 660mm bars which replace an old Thompson 25.4 120mm stem and Monkeylite SL bars which were 610's.

FWIW, Glory Cycles (never shopped there before) has a nice sale on the Chorus 11 group right now... was thinking about refreshing my steelie with it, and the 52/36 crankset.

[dts]

Seemed to me that after about 7,000 miles the old bike was due for some new handlebar tape.

So put some nice white cork tape on. The old white handlebar tape was more gray than anything else.

While they dont have Campy (at least now) check out Merlin Cycles in the UK. Crazy low prices, free shipping, no tax. Takes only slightly longer to get your stuff. I got my Dura Ace 9000 C24 rims for $780 shipped for the pair, and my Garmin 500 with premium HR monitor and speed/cadence for $240. The Dura Ace 9000 groupset is only $1700 over there and you can get Ultegra 6700 for $750. The 2013 Red is $1360.
