so im having the worst time rn with my podcasts not syncing across devices lol i swear i had just gotten into this one ep and now its gone, im literally searching thru all my subs to find it again maybe im just being dumb but does anyone else have this prob?? i feel like ive tried everything

i was listenin to this podcast about bike maintenance and they were talkin about how to properly clean your chain and i realize i've been doin it wrong lol i mean i just use soap and water but apparently thats not enough im gonna try the method they suggested next time tbh its pretty silly that i didnt know this already

okay quick head-scratcher. i just installed new tires (terrent is awesome tbh) but the torque specs on that wtb rim are driving me insane. every 20-30 km these bolts just randomly loosen. anyone else had luck forcing them to factory spec in m/s2 units? also is a 80x7 chainring a dumb idea for someone using a gravel bike like a cross griz? just need a sanity check cause maybe i'm just cursed. imo it'd be easier if people who design derailleurs made sure we didn't accidentally install them in mirror reverse. anyway anyone around here frame-building for hire rn? i work in an under-the-table garage shop 20 mins from where you parked, wouldnt turn down a side project. podcast guy jacked the term sag from mountain biking but we’re doing virtual sags rn if that makes us all sad and ironic.

okay here's the deal my new shimano xt m8020 derailleur skips in the chain under load when hitting anything with over 5% grades got a 12sp xtr cassette mounted on the pacer but the whole thing just hates pushing hard in big gears tbq i ran 1.8mm chain for "precision" lol and cleaned the cable path but same mess still happening guessing this isn't supposed to happen but not sure if the hang gets me what are y'ALL grinding into when hauling 35lb packs?
