After a several weeks of staring at my shiny new(ish) PedalForce RS2 frame, I finally have it in riding condition. There’s still a few changes I want to make to the bike, but for the near future, I’ll be riding it as is.

For all you fixed gear hipsters, talk to me about the joys of fixed gear riding when you can do this:
It’s been just over a year since I posted my first blog entry on the Incidental Cyclist. What a year it has been. The site has gone over many changes during that time. Learning the ins and outs of WordPress. Learning how to extend it’s capabilities to provide value to my readers. It’s all been a steep but fun learning curve. We also went through a couple of iterations of how the site looks. It started out dark with light text then moved to this easier on the eyes theme a few months ago.
This video is a tour of the Crossman Factory, as they make 12 gram CO2 cartridges.
I found this interesting video I though might be informative to all you weight weenies, like myself, that do not carry a pump with them on rides. I usually carry an inflator and two CO2 cartridges in case of a flat.
With all the Internet mapping sites that give you driving directions from point A to point B, there are now a rash of sites that will do the same for your bicycle. A few are well known and there are a few lesser known ones. I will attempt to go through a few of the more popular ones and provide my thoughts on which are good and which are not so good.
Another week has gone by and there is not much to report. The very last piece to select is the headset. Rue Sports builds their bike with the IS standard headsets. I am in the process of deciding which one I want to use. Right now I am thinking of using the Cane Creek IS-8 I have in the past used the Cane Creek Solos-IS and I really like that headset, but I am not sure I need the light weight. Because of the limited mileage I also am not considering the 110-IS, that is the headset Cane Creek has built to compete with Chris King, supposed to be guarantied for 110 years.
Time to start thinking about how we are going to wind down this year. Time to start thinking about goals for next year. Time to start thinking about what we will need to accomplish those goals next year and moving forward.
Nicole was kind enough to take about 230 images.
