Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
I really want a cleaning station like that. I have a utility tub in the basement and I use that to clean wheels, but I have to clean the frame while it's in the stand in my basement or outdoors (when it's too muddy to clean by hand) which is obviously not ideal outside in colder months. I'd love to have an indoor cleaning station, but don't really have any room for it in my basement now. (BTW, the bike looks great post-clean!)
Replacing the seized to hell parts for a family friend on this shit Schwinn. Stripped the brakes

Just installed a new Ergon Sm Pro saddle. Going to try it out now.

Road Adventure setup.
Swapped wheels to the 700x32 Conti Setup. Swapped Speedplays from my other bike. Pre ride check found an annihilated set of pads in the front, so I need to remember to swap that before I depart.
Running my light self-sufficient 24 hour setup with a Rando seat pack and quasi large top tube bag. Also running my Cateye light because it has a 17 hour battery life. Bottom bottle is filled with Carborocket so I can refill my bottles along the way...

You want a second PTec? I've got a second one, $25. For real, that battery seems to last forever.

You haz an extra Extreme? I will take it if so. I have 2 of the lower model already.

@jimvreeland I don't remember the model. It's the one that comes with a 2-cell rechargable Li battery.

New chain, cassette,and front sprocket. They were so bad my 11 speed was down to about eight.
2600 miles on the old stuff, I gotta check things sooner for sure. My bad. 🙁

Maintenance day was last sunday; overhauled the front/rear hubs (nice and fresh, thanks Shimano for actually caring about bearing seals); cleaned/lubricated/adjusted the derailleur clutch; overhauled dropper post. Somehow when lubing the post last week, it threw a key out and bent it...not sure how/never had that happen. Pulled the whole thing, replaced the keys with new OS ones (no wiggle), replaced the DU bushing/top seal, and replaced the teflon bushings inside. Works like butter now.
@jimvreeland as soon as I find the lighthead, which is somehow not where I left the battery, I'll message you.

Or is it just made that way, like my new front tire, and it will be that way forever

Look for the line on the tire by the bead and make sure it's evenly spaced all the way around on both sides. If it is and your wheel is true, it's a problem with the casing and it'll always wobble.
