Bricked Phone, No Strava, the Horror

My LG G4 experienced the boot loading loop leaving me without Strava. I've sent it in for repair.



Hopefully LG will cover it, but who knows. In the meantime here's a picture of some bikes and Rupert's butt.

Lotus Legend

This bike has undergone a few changes going from gears, to a single speed, and finally back to gears. I'm kicking, my younger self for making it fixed and abusing the hell out of it, but you live and you learn. It originally had a suntour winner six speed freewheel, but that's been worn out and replaced with a shimano 6 speed freewheel. In addition, the bottom bracket has been replaced with a shimano, cartridge style bottom bracket. While the original bottom bracket was a suntour model (? don't quote me on that) with a campy taper, I didn't want to pay triple the price for a campy bottom bracket, so I bought a shimano bottom bracket 2mm smaller (113 instead of 115) and called it a day. So far it's been working out well.

  

Kilo WT Gets a New Headset

The Kilo WT's stock headset finally gave up the ghost. Luckily origin 8 makes a pretty cheap cartridge bearing replacement.

MLK Day Spin


Took advantage of the break from classes on MLK day and went for a ride with some friends. It ended up being a dirty thirty with spray from wet roads. Typical Savannah winter weather.
