Just opened Primal today for the first time in over a month. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Same thing with me. Haven’t used primal for a month or so and now wallet just spins and doesn’t show sats npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd capturing the trails on the penultimate day of summer npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Rideau canal locks npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd GM npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd A few water view stops on a new gravel route. Sand Point on the mighty Ottawa River npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd The best part of a cycling day - ice cream sundae 🍨 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Finally reopened the Westboro beach patio after major reconstruction. I have to say it looks awesome and the vibes are good. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Nice surprise when riding solo in the middle of nowhere and find that someone provided a rest spot 👍 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Huge news from Zwift today. They have introduced a new concept to being able to upgrade your stable of bikes in game and earn a bike that is nicer than Tron - the Halo. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Mission accomplished 🫡 --> 5 star given on Apple Podcasts npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd ohhh now here is something i need to check out! npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd I hear you but I would love to have the battery life of my old Garmin watch as compared to my Apple watch.

Something to do with wider tires deforming better at the contact patch. The only advantage to a skinny tire is the aero of the frontal surface area but that is negligible especially with wider and deeper rims these days. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd 40mm ROAD tires - not mountain bike tires. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd It is not up for debate any more - 40mm road tires are faster for nearly everyone - just try it 🚲 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd So true- many great memories made in the garage wrenching on stuff with the kids npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Just adding context in case anyone else cannot see the post I was commenting on - it was a picture of a snowy / icy urban bike path npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd 👍 yes npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Hey @uno - I think there is a long us feeling the same. Gave you some zaps and a follow to break this open a little bit 😎 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Firewalls: opnsense is far better than pfsense npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd People scoff but this is the scientific explanation for how Santa does it. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd A ballsy entrepreneur named Chad decides to relocate his startup to a new city because his previous one was a total shitshow.

I would very surprised that you could fit 40mm tires on it however. The newest 2024 model states that the max is 35mm. This would be due to the tire hitting the downtube in the rear and/or hitting the top of the fork crown in the front. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Trying again with hashtags 😉 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Congrats on trying something new! npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Does anybody have an invite code for http://getalby.com? npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd .... comfy on the HANDS (not heads) as on pavement. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Shockstop Suspension Stem - one of the best upgrades I have ever made to a bike. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Maybe just maybe we are a bunch on contrarians here on nostr. Ahead of the curve on everything including pedals 😄 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Stay tuned - I will be posting a lot of content for cycling home mechanics including hot waxing tutorials. npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Gravel cycling isn't just the new black; it's the whole darn color wheel, spinning through mud, dust, and the occasional existential crisis! npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd on the ski hills we called them "posers" npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Flats vs clips post npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Thanks - if only I could stop tinkering with it 😄 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Thank you - followed back npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Congratulations - welcome to the rest of your life (the best part)! npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Thanks for my first reply! 🙏 npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Trying to avoid posting bitcoin related stuff but just showing that I do have more than a passing interest in it npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Introduction - Hi everyone.[email protected] npub1kl049l4xr4mslk7mh0u94zk3svws49lxc0lqcyuhrx7qjqhjgd8qkrlydr GravelNerd Wow!
