I rebuilt the rear wheel on my #Brompton yesterday, it had reached the end of its lifespan and it was breaking spokes one after another, so I figured I’d do them all in one go. It was full of false starts and small mistakes, but it’s done and I’m optimistic

Nothing new bike-wise, it's very winter here right now so the trail is snowmobile territory and the bikes are in storage. Counting down to springtime, though!

@yantor3d @ascentale @bikenite yay!

that's something I found gets easier with just doing it more often too, first couple of times I tried it I was all "...thumbs?" but now I'm like "oooooh okay, I think I'm getting this." Not up to _confident_ yet, but.

@ascentale @bikenite A1 #BikeNight Naarm, and well, this is what's new with my bike

@moira @ascentale @bikenite Practice makes permanent...

I'm amused by my bike stand. It's a benchtop repair stand, but because I'm allergic to permanence, it's screwed to a scrap of plywood that I clamp to my workbench

@bikenite A1. Hi all, in Oakland CA today. I tried making a chain tensioner for my bike, and it sort of works. It works better than dropping a chain a lot, but it's still not perfect. But better is good!

There's nothing really new with my bikes, but I did ride today without needing studded tires for the first time in over three weeks due to a thaw overnight.

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1. Ventura County, California. Too many bicycles here, need to sell a couple so I can fix a couple of new ones, lol. But, no one buying bicycles here.

@ascentale @bikenite A1. Coming to you live from sunny Eugene, OR?? Yeah, weird weather. No new bikes unfortunately but I need to pull down my SOLO and give her the once over this weekend.

@ascentale @bikenite A1. Northern Virginia as always, where biking is off the table while the streets are lined with what they are calling “snowcrete.” #BikeNite

@genex @ascentale @bikenite That’s it! That’s the Snowcrete.

@moira "always" except this one time

Glad to hear it's mostly a pride injury.

@LovesTha @ascentale @bikenite Ouch!

A1. Indoors in Tokyo. Snow in the forecast -- most likely just a smattering, but the worry is the possibility of streets freezing overnight.

Following a bit of tuning up and a short ride last weekend, both bikes are out of the Workshop in the Sky and back in the underground parking for the first time in a couple of months.

@ascentale @bikenite Just brought in some beer from the Workshop in the Sky so it can warm up in the refrigerator ...

@cainmark @ascentale @bikenite yeh

i was kinda finger-bleeding all the way home and it'll be bandaged for a bit, but otherwise I'm fine. ^_^

@ascentale @bikenite A1 Posting from Waterloo, ON as usual. It was a balmy -3°C today, and going down to -22°C over the weekend 🥶. Just got a second studded tire for my rear wheel: it makes a big difference!

@ascentale @bikenite a1. From my usual Seattle. Not much new except I washed my commuter/utility cycle, and put on newly waxed chains on both my road cycles. Been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather with some nice rides around town.

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1. Home in New England, again, waiting for more snow to arrive, followed by -30°F (-35°C) wind chills tomorrow night.

Absolutely nothing new with either of my bicycles, this week, although I'd like a new 21700 battery headlamp, so I can have my good flashlight back. No money for it, sadly. Also, I need a chain cleaner.
