Wait am I that far out of the loop now? The Fram Ultra was my go-to for once a year changes and I love them for my transmission bypass filter too. What is the current market replacement then?
Looks to pick up some budget 225/60r16 tires and back in the day the Arizonan was pretty well regarded. Are these still a go-to or do we have better options in this price range now?
Looks like all the toe plates I can find for DIY are sized too small for my trucks with 33+ tires on them. Anybody know of somewhat affordable toe plates to use with larger truck wheels. Nothing crazy, just 33-35" range.

I wonder how well a good NLGI 1 polyurea would function....
Late to the discussion but gummed up Shimano trigger shifters are a well known thing in the bike world. Everyone has their favorite way to address them and I've tried many products and techniques. Hitting them with CLP (I use Breakfree) and letting it soak for as long as possible- days to...
