Pint Night?

Trail work, moonlight rides etc. etc.  It all seems so comlicated.

When is Pint Night?  ya know just a slow roll to a down town Pub…no trail work…no worries about where to meet or when…No issues over what trail to ride…just good laughes with good friends over a cold pint or two?

Could even be a Pint Afternoon whatever works.  Before too long it will be cold out and we will all be wondering where the good times went.

I need some mechanical advice.

I have had two blow outs this week on my GF SS.  Both times it is the stem separating from the tube.  From your experience is this a wheel issue?  Under inflated tires?  I have been riding the bike for months with no issues and now two in one week.

Also, what would it take to convert to a ghetto tubless system.

Thanks,

After falling in love with a pair of On One Mary Bars that I put on my commuter, I went looking for another set to try on my single speed. Since nobody in Carson or Reno had Mary’s, I started searching the internet for alternatives.

Rody at Groovy Cycle Works seemed to have just what I was looking for, the 4130 aircraft steel Luv Handles. I love the sweep on these which is a little less than the Mary’s. I have already ordered a second pair with a custom paint scheme for the Full Suspension. After spending the day on flat bars doing the Kings canyon Loop I was really wishing I had something more relaxed.
