After all the eating (and eating…and eating…) is done, my bike’s getting most of its 12K mile service done by my fabulous husband. And it’s getting some extras! Stainless steel crashbars from Touratech and a shiny new Magura hydraulic clutch! I’ve been wanting to do the hydraulic clutch conversion for a long while, but since […]
Hssssssssssss
For the last week or two, I’ve been perplexed by the tire pressure monitoring system on my bike. Sure, we’ve had some temperature fluctuations, but the air pressure fluctuations in my rear tire seemed a little…odd.

So I ordered up a set from Wunderlich, and Scott got them installed over the weekend. Holy cow! That $68 was the cheapest […]
Slipping…Too Much Slipping
