    @Big Road Skateboard sadly there will be no mountain biking today. By the time I realized Sram's brake bleeding procedure is wrong it was too late to hit the trail. Next to impossible to find parking at my usual spots after 11am. So I just went over the bike; pumped up tires and seat post, checked all the hardware etc. Weather forecast said it was supposed to rain tomorrow but now it looks good so I guess we'll try it again tomorrow.

    Sram says to pressurize the system with the syringe at the lever after bleeding. Kept getting a dead lever once I removed the syringe. Scoured the web and a few folks also had this issue with Sram's Guide brakes. They said to remove the syringe at the lever, put in the plug then pressurize it through the caliper syringe since it has a plug you tighten before you remove the line. Lever was rock solid after that. Wasted well over an hour repeating the original procedure.

    Kentucky.

    City name; Versailles. Yes just like the city is France.
    Well, no it’s not pronounced like that, it’s Ver-sales.

    City name; Lancaster. Nope, not what you think. Try this Lankster, now you got it.

    My 184. Same engine and drive train with a 72” deck.

    They made a 154 as well, and I think a 174…?

    The one I'm looking at is a 185, 60" deck though. 72 would be better.

    I catch up later with pics. I've slept 3 hours in last 36 to serve about 70 meals. Time for a nap. Update later. Not a huge job, but for a first time selling to public, I think it was well received.

    I remember being at the drivers area (when we were a little more appreciated) listening to tall tales from the asphalt trail. Many were questionable back then, but what I hear today…. I know they’re full of it….
