Last night we got some miles, had some smiles, then we had a pint in front of some old beasties.

I own one of those tough, unkillable old beasts too—just show it a little maintenance love, and it'll treat you to an incredibly tasty morning.

That's a collectors item from the seventies in solid cast iron and after it's fully refurbished I have an offer I couldn't refund from a Italian geek, that's why I bought a new setup.
 
My latest ride in the White Tank Mountains Regional Park.

The rear tire is getting close to needing a replacement. It has 565 miles on it so maybe another 50 left to go. It’s a soft compound Schwalbe Albert so I expected a shorter life in our dry/rocky conditions. What kind of mileage (kilometerage?) are you folks getting from soft compound tires.

I’ve ridden some of the trails at White Tank outside of Phoenix, AZ, so I can understand how climbing and braking on steeps there would have a cheese grader effect on the center knobs. Especially with a powerful and heavy ebike. @Gila Man - I would have replaced that rear Albert 100 miles ago. You’re also looking for a puncture. Mount the new one!

Whatever you say dad.

How are my children going to eat with my crazy emtb spending habits? I guess I’ll have to text them from the restaurant tonight and let them know that each of their future inheritance was just reduced by $40. I may have to have a second cocktail to drown my shame.

Piced up my R for romance today and moved her on to Invisiframe department.
She is at the moment a little bit on the heavy side with all her jewelry attached but has promised to shave off more than a kilo within a couple of days after her 600wh corset arrives.

That bronze with the raw aluminum is seriously 🔥. Well done.
It's nice but with glossy invisiframe it will really pop and of course protect and make her much more easy to clean.
Neither would she mind carbon I9 with orange hubs and purple spokes - have to check my credit card limit cuz ladies is expensive to keep happy 😂
 
Domestic appliances is it today? New elements for the oven for me. Surprisingly easy & a huge ball ache at the same time. Still electric stuff I suppose.

Or…you could have paid an Appliance Repair Guy $500-$1000 to do the same thing and delay that new bike for another year.

High-temp cut-out switch popped on my oven. Went to the local appliance store where they had one …for $90. F*** that. Probably a .99cent part.
Went back home, drilled a very small hole in the switch. With a small probe I reset the switch. Haven’t had a problem since.

The hardest part was removing the dual ovens from the cabinet. And yes…the edges of those metal covers are sharp. Ffs 🤦
 
“Oven of the Day” title change? Fair enough. 👍🏻 This could be in the Off-Topic thread or Lounge.

Edit; I deserve a Yellow Card, 2 Minute penalty or a time-out. I’m guilty. 🤷🏼‍♂️
