Help Eli Find A Home

Details

Category: Misc

This little guy has had a tough life and he just wants to find a place where he can settle in and be a puppy because he really never had that.  At about a year and a half old, Eli has had it pretty rough.  But the folks at Austin Pets Alive were able to take him and and help get him nursed back to health.

He's supposedly a cairn terrier mix, but with a really soft, silky coat. He's about 11 pounds right now and loves to sit in your lap.

The two best things that I have done for my by were getting a proper sizing session and adding a dropper post.  Realistically, just about any dropper post can increase your riding skills by giving you more room behind the saddle for getting around technical downhill obstacles.

First, the tire mounted perfectly to my Stan's Flow rim with only a floor pump, which was a great start.  When I got the tire out on the road for  quick spin, I could feel the knobs vibrating the entire bike, all the way up to the grips.  The knobs aren't that big, but they are spaced pretty far apart, I suppose to shed mud or something, but since we don't have ridable mud here, that's no real use to me.

I never really gave much thought to my seatpost, then one day I was out at Rocky Hill and Ryan snapped his.  We were pretty close to the furthest spot out from the start, and that made it a really long ride back.  The beauty of a Thomson Elite is that it just works.  Solidly.  Forever.

Tubeless tires are great, until they aren't.  When you first get that set from the shop you can't believe that you rode with tubes for so long.  Then you have a blowout down the road, or you just need to change your tires.  Everything is nice and smooth the first time, but here are a couple of extra tips to help in putting new tires on older wheels.

This was a great weekend to get out there before the heat of summer really starts up. We pulled in a 12+ mile ride with plenty of rocky features and some interesting paths.  Mike had a bit of a challenge at the "crack" and ended up down the side of the hill.  All I saw was a front tire pretty high in the air.
