    New tires!

    I finally got my 235/85r16 tires. I went with Yoko Geolander ATs to replace my BFG 31x10.5r15. The tires are heavier 75 pounds, vs 65 for the BFGs, the ride seems rougher like the sidewalls are stiffer (but I don't know) I did get a rainy day to play in and the tires never broke traction, and I...

    9/32s too worn?

    I need a set of winter tires and looked at a set of 4 Bridgestone Winter Duellers that have 9/32s left in the center. the edges show wear but not cupped... worth $250? or bite the bullet/wait for better? Seems like nearly $300 for tires that I MAY only get two seasons out of is not worth it...

    First Cross race...

    OK really my first cyclocross race in about 15 years, so this was my second. It has rained here for the last few days and we had rain this morning, so the course was sloppy. I was racing a bike I bought and built in the past 10 days. Needless to say I was a little nervous. I finished top 20...

    Labor Day in the Adirondacks

    We had three great days of weather, so the family headed to the Adirondacks for some fun. We hiked two fire tower mountains, Bald and Blue Mountains, and rented a canoe and kayak to paddle down 8 miles of the Moose River. We also hit a few touristy things, like riding the Adirondack Scenic...

    Park Tools!

    This is just a huge thumbs up to Park Tools. I recently striped my chain tool's internal threads, when I went to my LBS to replace it, they said e-mail Park and ask about a warranty. Three days later a brand new tool arrives in the mail! Great service! In a time when many of us have had less...

    Testing SWR?

    OK I am in the middle of the CB install and went to Radio Shack and bought a $50 SWR Meter... but not the darn cable between the meter and CB (why can't they include that?) I ran power to the CB with RA 58 shield cable directly to the battery (read that tip on the internet). So I spliced...
