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.

Before scrolling down I thought I'd accidentally clicked on the members wives thread ....

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

How much did that cost when you bought it new?

The pint? the Garmin or the Rover?

...The car but I think the gag flopped.

A second-hand pint? I hope the first was the brewer!

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.

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.

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!
