Always choose the adventure. There is no later when you are capable of doing the things you are able to do now.

Daniel boosted:

Something strange happened to me before this trip — and it wasn’t the packing panic, the physio appointments, or dragging a giant bike bag to the airport.
It was a question: “What if this time… I shouldn’t go?”

Not because I didn’t want to.
But because sometimes the adult part of me wakes up and whispers things like “be responsible,” “save the money,” “maybe stay close to home.”

I carried that doubt for days — delaying tasks, hiding the excitement even from myself, feeling “not ready.”

And then Nepal did what Nepal always does:
the chaotic streets, the “welcome back” from people who remember me…
the new people...
and those mountains — just seeing them from the plane window is enough to rearrange something inside me.
Like flipping a switch, from dark to light.

And I understood ... again:
the moments I hesitate the most are exactly the ones that end up giving me the most life.

Sometimes craziness seems like the reward for trying to be alive.

New cranks
These are the nickelplated stainless steel Cyber Cranks GR made by Cybercycles meant for XC and gravel biking. There is also a dedicated MTB variant as well a taper bore version. They come in different crank length and finishwise you can choose between raw stainless steel, nickel coating and black anodised.
They have a 24mm cold drawn axle and Sram's 3 bolt interface for up to 3 chainrings with the optional spider.
I combined the cranks with a 44T oval chainring made by Absolute Black and the NGeco powermeter by Power2Max.
I considered Enduro bearings for the BB, but even the Shimano XTR cost less than 1/5 of them and so I installed these.
Final change due to seasonal requirements: I swapped the tyres to the Continental Top Contact Winter tyres.

Bei so vielen Enterprises die Picard geschrottet hat konnte Geordi reichlich Erfahrung sammeln. Kirk war deutlich draufgängerisch(er), aber der hatte nicht halb so viele neue Enterprises bekommen.

personally I connect cycling to moving about when pedaling and outside has much more interesting places to move about than indoors I can understand you using it for preparation for your upcoming adventure, though.

outside or not at all.

It's going to be awesome.

die Warpgondeln sehen nach NCC-1701 aus und für die war Scotty zuständig.

for best performance the front derailleur should be positioned ideally 1-3mm above the teeth of the largest chainring.
