Thanks pal! It felt good to get to messing with bicycles and run my mouth again.

It seems like every tire manufacturers idea of size differs. They look small when replacing the 38s that were on there. Thanks. Rex is a special one.

GLOMSKEY!!! Thanks so much buddy. We had better eat some breakfast again soon.

Hey… thanks a bunch. It’s just a steady stream of gibberish. Better than nothing?

I’m sure you are right. I investigated how to find them but they haven’t turned up yet. I’ll check again after work today. Hope all is well!

@EriebyCycle all is well. I wrecked twice this winter so far. Lol not ruling out a 3rd time either. Freezing rain tonight. The odds are high. Lol! Hope all is good in your neck of the woods, friend!

@ Hahahahaha!!!! I’m glad I’m not too old to have a laugh about myself or my friend having a minor wipeout. Freezing rain here too (they claim.) That might be fat bike on studs weather for me. All is well here. Lots of learning going on in the outer rim… but not bicycle related.

@EriebyCycle as long as my hands or feet break my fall instead of my face, I can manage. Lol Definitely fat studded tire weather if it's iced over... or drive, but what fun is that? Lol Learning is always a great thing. We are here to evolve and progress. Seems like you have been doing very well in progressing yourself here lately. I'm really happy for you man. I love to see people accept new challenges and test themselves. It can be intimidating, but sometimes that's the test in itself!

@ 4:30 am… it’s studded fat bike weather for sure. Plus that bike has fenders! The learning… man I’m telling you. It isn’t always fun, that’s for sure. All the best, buddy. Gotta get my gear together and get going. Happy throat punch Friday eve.

Thanks pal. Wasn’t a bad crash at all.

Thanks pal. Wasn’t a big deal. Just a surprise. I thought “hey, nobody films dumb shit like this… so I had better get to it.”

Hi friend. Thanks a bunch. Hope all is well with you.

Oh heavens… it was just a little slip on the ice. T’was t a major fall or anything.

Thanks pal. Wasn’t a big deal. Just thought as I was laying there in the frozen street I’d whip out my phone… nobody films dumb stuff like that.

Hi Jay. I’m glad you found it useful. Much appreciated.

I just got home from work on mine. It’s big, kinda stupid, and ridiculous… and I love it!

I think those are from a Schwinn Racer. Easily my favorite bars.

I can’t argue with that. This shop has been in business since the 50’s, and the winters typically keep people away from their bicycles… except for a select few.

Hi pal. Maybe a trip over to the bike coop on east 26th is in your future? They have a compliment of tools and know how that may serve you.

@@EriebyCycle Thanks, didn't know about them!!!

@EastWindCommunity1973 www.ssjnn.org/bike-progrms/

That is an SKS Shockboard. It worked well for what it was but I eventually installed the full coverage fender that matched the rear and added a mud flap. I got tired of soaking the drivetrain and my shins.

@@EriebyCycle Okay. Thank you.

@ very welcome. The thing about the shockboard is it mounts it the hole in the forks… so you can mount it easily where you don’t have provision for a full length fender.

I do wish I was riding that today. Instead I’m shoveling a rooftop.

I too have been very happy with them.

Thanks so much! Perhaps we’ll cross paths come spring.

He lives in the hood. It's my understanding that he belongs to a friend's sister and probably lives in the lap of luxury.. and rules the street. I had a short where I first met him a few years back. Happy new year my friend.

@EriebyCycle oh, I remember that dude now. He was a biggen' back then, too. Ride bikes pet cats!! 😎

@ it’s the simple things, isn’t it?

Cool. I’ve decided I’m going to pass this one on to my mother. She wasn’t excited about riding the old beach bike I refurbished for her. This will give her some gearing options without getting too complicated for an old lady who survived a stroke.

Happy new year my friend.

And GIANT

That sounds like a good time!

I can't argue with that.

Absolutely welcome my friend. I think it's brilliant. All the best to you and your husband as well.

Hi pal! I hope and trust all is well.

Here in Erie it is not uncommon to get a good heavy snow, and then it melts over a three day period- making the side streets an ice rink.

@@EriebyCycle In southern Finland it has become similar. We just got 40cm of snow three weeks ago. Now it’s just wet ice outside. Schwalbe Marathon Winter 35-622 were pretty good today (first ride in 3 months), but if I had money to burn I would get Suomi Tyres Piikkisika or Ice Spiker set for my EMTB to get the 2.4” width.

I was thinking of SHIFTER when I said that. A fat bike is absolutely too specialized and teeters on the edge of useless really… but they appeal to my inner five year old… and they’re awfully stable on ice city streets.

Thanks homie! Merry Christmas to you and your Bike Shed Family!

Merry Christmas my friend!!!

I'm not much for dad jokes... but the words "good to be seen" keep circling my brain.

Merry Christmas George!!! I hope and trust all is well.

Merry Christmas my friend!

Happy Christmas. Sound dreadful.

Merry Christmas Mark!!! That pipe wrench is blow molded plastic. I wanted to tell you how a multitude of the tools you passed on to me have been instrumental in maintaining, and making repairs in the county. My family, and me are very grateful. I'm looking forward to your return .

Hi Frank... I'm still at Spaeder. Been there 13 years now.

@EriebyCycle I see. How's life been treating you my friend?

@ doing very well. I hope and trust the same for you!

It surely was. I'm looking forward to it.

Merry Christmas, Jeff.

Thanks John. All the best from Lake Erie.

Hi Chuck. Thank you very much. I'm sure I can find time to pop in from time to time. Merry Christmas.

Thank you! I wish I felt smart and resourceful more often.

I'm into old bikes, but love to learn new things from others, and your content provides this. I especially appreciate the community you foster. I found loco Joe content through you, as an example, you and have evolved my bike interest to more of a culture of appreciating old things that work or that can work again with some effort and creativity. Thank you for sharing your videos and insight.

Thank you, Tommy! Hands down one of the nicest comments ever!

Thanks a bunch! Merry Christmas, John.

Merry Christmas, pal!

@@tmayberry7559 I do like them very much indeed.
