days are getting shorter, evening rides more quiet...

@Inorganic Yea I got realy lucky with that one. best part is that I can sit in it every day and go like: "fuck this couch is great"

Our old sofa needed replacing so after months of searching the internet, I landed this good as new "FSM" (a sister company of "de Sede") Velas for 350€ on a second hand website. (retail was about 16K) but more importantly, I think it looks and sits great!

After months of tinkering and making micro changes to seat height, setback, dropbars etc. I finaly start to zero in on the perfect bikefit. Also, my girlfriend is starting to get jealous of all the attention the bike gets from me.

@Sage954 Love that cleaver! Steak looks perfect too!

I made this badboy (3kg dry aged Holstein ribeye) on sunday for my girlfriends coworkers get together.

I have the Crankbrothers "Stamp" and they grip anything that touches them, including your shins

Cool guy, thanks for sharing! I'm new to cycling so basically everything I know is from deep diving the internet and I'm more into the technical part then the people part of stuff.
I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of braze-ons because most bags these days come with straps or Velcro mounts, just look at brands like tailfin, they can get you in full bikepacking gear without using a single bolt.

The geometry is something a lot of people talk about and it all depends on your own style, I think that if you get the proper frame size it wouldn't matter all that much, a lot can be compensated by seat height, stem length and selecting the correct drop bars. A bike fit would be something I would recommend, I've done one myself after riding about 3 months and the difference is massive in comfort and performance.

@RobeOfTheMagi said in Gravel Bikes:

Ritchey Swiss Cross

I don't know the brand but a quick search shows a max tire clearance of 40mm, that is low by current standards. Now it should be at least 50mm. Wider is better in gravel. Both for comfort and speed.

I'm running 34's right now and I will increase to 45mm with my next set for sure!

Loads of people are experimenting with MTB tires even.

Back in the day there was a brand called Thrux Lawrence and IH did a colab with them. I have one of those backpacks, they are indestructible

Edit: looks like he is back around - https://bestleather.org/the-thrux-pack-canvas-and-leather-backpack-480/

@Alex thx, so no official plans yet

What is the chance of getting a 1955 cut in SBG (Possibly 14oz)?

Is it a Pata Negra oister combo?

This thread is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a good long while. Love it!

that's awsome! going for pulled pork of sliced? Also your BBQ is begging you to size up your meat

Went in for another session last week and a buddy wanted to join me for some moral support. He is a photographer so the images are better then what I can usualy share.

lol

The mean reason to spritz your ribs in my experience is to get a better smoke flavor and coulor. The smoke sticks easier on the wet surface of the rib. Next to that, It'll also raise the humidity of the inside of the bbq wich will help with keeping the moisture of the ribs optimal, but this can also be done by adding a water pan to the bbq. You can even combine it with a drip pan and catch the grease. furtermore, a water pan can contain much more water at one time, wich will help auto-regulate the humidity. Every time you open your lid to spritz, you loose all the hot air / smoke and humidity, just to start over. Using a water pan can realy help for people with Kettle and gas bbq's, as they require more airflow due to less heat retention.

I can talk ribs for hours, so if you have any more specific questions, just ask

Just added another thing to the list of things I didn't know existed yesterday and must have tomorrow:

Silca SuperPista Ultimate Hiro Edition

That thing is a piece of functional art.

Just look at this review: https://pezcyclingnews.com/technspec/silca-superpista-ultimate-pump-review/

Taking the long way home

Anyone play Baldur's Gate 3? I played 1 and 2 but this is a different animal, so hard! Would love to team up (cross platform is now possible with the new April patch)
