Is this what happens if the valve is not positioned between the X‘s?

What does that ^^^ mean?

 

[Mcharza]

We now have the third spring and the snow has melted again. Riding on rocks is best in spring.

Congratulations, enjoy!

Talked lately with the owner of a small but fine bike shop about the revival of cross-country race bikes. I just can not understand why I would use such a bike on non-asphalt roads when having a fully resp. why run such tyres when riding on a race bike.

I agree i won't be doing anything harder than a decent forestry road it will be for touring on quiet traffic free country roads . Same with the drop bars you have no control when it goes wrong .

You might turn the drop bars upside down, like we did in the….70s? So why not a simple trekking bike?

It was on tv a lot in the 60s if I remember. Lightness probably a factor but flat bars definitely more control. Mean looking dude in that picture. I had a helmet like that in 80s crazy when I think about it. Don't remember much choice back then.

A pilgrimage to see the mythical Laverda M306LS. If anyone is passing the Denham memorial above Washington village, pick up my water bottle off the bench will you?

Went for a quick run down some of the local downhill trails today. Found a step down double with a totally blind takeoff. Jump carries about 10-12 feet distance with about 3 or 4 feet of drop. Super fun

For the amount of rain we've had recently the hills were remarkably dry ..and the temperature warm ..
Things are looking up
