For the record: spoke length on Theo’s rear wheel is 292 mm. Writing it down here so nobody has to pull the cassette and measure it again next winter.

Restocked the community flat kit: 700x32-45 tubes, two CO2 heads, tire boots, quick links, and nitrile gloves. Please replace what you use.

Shop night focus: quieting disc rub and checking chain wear before it eats cassettes.

Chain checker says three bikes are past 0.75. Please do not wait until the cassette starts skipping.

I have a bleed kit for Shimano mineral oil but not SRAM DOT fluid.

Torque reminder: carbon seatposts need paste, not heroic clamp force.

Voice note: that clicking was not the bottom bracket. Listen at second 8. It is the rear thru-axle washer moving under load.

Indexed six rear derailleurs tonight. The common problem was cable housing cut too short.

Tubeless refresh station is set for Thursday. Bring valves, tape, and patience.

That creak on Nina’s bike was pedal threads, not bottom bracket. Grease fixed it.

Winter project idea: build a lending kit with cassette tool, chain whip, and hanger gauge.

If your brakes howl in rain, clean rotors before changing pads.
