    Walmart 700c ozark trail g.1 explorer drop bar gravel bike

    So if the Walmart app description is accurate, it is cassette, not freewheel. I will watch this and wait for another price drop, no brainer for 125

    E-bikes and thoughts

    Motorists are too distracted these days. If there is a designated bike path on the road, I use it..But if not, riding on the road with the vehicles, it is just a matter of time before you are in the ER or carried by six.

    Had someone brake check me while on the bicycle this afternoon.

    Oregon has a one time registration fee for $200+ bicycles, sliding fee based on purchase price

    Bicycle Maintenance

    I replaced the front derailleur cable the other day. The previous cable lasted less than 2 thousand miles and it was a Shimano purchased at a Trek bicycle shop @ $7.00! That is a record for me, what the heck? I got a brake/derailleur cable combo from WalMart for 10 bucks, 4 cables with housing...

    Piston Soak time for the SL2

    Ok, the level is not quite up to where it was initially. So rough guess, about 2500 miles to the quart which is a significant improvement.

    Piston Soak time for the SL2

    I am now at 901 miles and there is some apparent usage now. I fished out a liter of ECO-nergy I got for free on Amazon for the usual reasons 🤣. I put in one cup. Later I'll check the dipstick after a drive. If the level is the same as at mile zero, then that will be 3000+ miles per quart.
