I know you know I know

The plus or minus 1.67mm of Rainier Can protruding wrapping enveloping circulating cascading visibly is no sloppy oversight. It’s out there to let you know that I know that you know that I shimmed it out with a beer can. 

 

this Ritchey Force stem brings me joy NITTO going forth with whatever handlebar needs that need to be handled

 

bringing even more joy than the Ritchey Logic cranks which we can talk about on another day

 

As I’ve ridden this SHOGUN to work for two days in a row now onto day three. On an odometer that’s like 9 miles. As the crow flies with the bike along for all the train rides, that’s like 90 miles. Either way. Anyway. It’s a lugged steel single speed circa 1987. As heavy as the day is long.  Cadillac smooth 27” wheels on the downhills. Cadillac heavy everything adding up on the uphills. 

 

Compromise. 

 

In your eyes. 

The light the heat. 

I am complete.

i have an actual Nitto shim set 26.0 - 25.4. but that's not my style. that's for the guy in the hotel in Misoula waiting for his shims to arrive from Japan. I'm the guy enjoying a Rainier so I can disect the can and shim that shit to be on my way.
