Go change your own tires, too! Harbor Fright has a good, inexpensive bead breaker, and bike spoons should already be on your bike.

Double up on the lube for a better time. 🥲

11hr round trip with gas stops. This was a great point to stop along the way and find some feeling in my legs again. Shinko 804/805 and the rear is being replaced now after about 3500 miles. Front still looks new. Maybe I’ll do a post about those if anyone cares to know any more.

This was this past winter. Somehow it felt nice to ride even down to 20* or so. Tri-Cities drivers are more dangerous than the road conditions. lol

I use this to daily wherever my wife’s medical contracts take us. Currently it is Washington state.
