      Ever notice that people on bicycles are usually smiling? Ever see someone smiling while running? Me either.

            @Nik said in Runners:

            2nd place at a local trail 50km yesterday. Was fun to go out with the fast pack. At 4 miles or so the pack thinned and at 7 miles I was passed by two runners. Then passed again at mile 12. Managed to run my way back to second place on the last few hills.

              @seawolf I smile when running (and cycling) and see lots of other people doing it too

                    @goosehd a smile can also be psychotic or deranged, so I guess that counts

                                  Got a new bike rack for the Toy. Used it for the first time yesterday. Nice, secure and easy to load/unload.

                                    Hey,

                                    I was just browsing the parts bin of a bike shop in search of cool 90s mtb parts. And I found this interesting XTR derailleur. It took me a while to understand that it is not the usual XTR M950 that I was looking for. It’s a version of that derailleur that is “low normal”. That means tensioning the spring shifts to the bigger instead of the smaller sprocket.

                                    I also found this beautiful bell for my wife’s bike second hand.

                                    B9B6B6C8-C283-4CDD-9320-E9C276B247F5.jpeg
                                    D1ECEE44-B517-47AC-B1A6-13E53137E2E8.jpeg

                                    Don’t you think bike parts were so much cleaner and more beautiful back then?

                                    You're it.

                                      I think Rivendell is making new low normal shifters, now. And yes, old bike parts were waaay easier to handle.
