It’s a teardown and review update on the prepro P321 G3 hub I’ve been {ab}using since October ‘23.

Meet Yourself, Don’t Defeat Yourself.

I’ve dropped my #1FGearing to 28x22t, the tire setup I was just praising on Friday {29x2.5 radial-ish on i40} sh*t the bed quite early {IMHO}, and that’s all an aside to some changes to MEATmag content:

Went back to the old title format. Better? Worse? Indifferent? Either way, here’s SBTISAOAF: https://meatengines.com/meatengines-1/f/some-bicycle-things-im-stoked-about-on-a-friday---aug-7th-26

Creeper in Gnarnaimo is one of the coolest trails I’ve ever ridden, on my Will’s 2019ish Truelove-built Chromag Arcturian Voyager, or otherwise:

We concluded Cumberlandworx 2026 with a little early morning ride: https://meatengines.com/meatengines-1/f/toadal-recall

That’s almost it for Cumberlandworx 2026. Here’s day 6: https://meatengines.com/meatengines-1/f/here-toaday-gone-toadmorrow

Cumberlandworx 2026: Day 5 continues with more pedaling and our toadly awesome titles.

The question underlying Cumberlandworx 2026 Day 4 was whether this was a single-speed ride or fully-fendered theme ride. The answer…

One part Cumberlandworx 2026 Day 3, and one part SBTISAOAF, and toadally on theme:

Claire takes on writing about her biggest, and most technical, day in Cumberland yet. Some brief bicycle updates, and points out how nice it’s been to be fully fendered as the trails are dry except where they aren’t.

We’re live at Cumberlandworx 2026, the totally make believe grassiest-roots human-powered cycling fest of the season. This years day one and day dot were one just day, so after some discourse it’s Day Onezo:

There are many bike brands that once made rigs worthy of distinction and now don’t. Some were high end machines, super-bikes, and others were the most budget-friendly up-sized steel BMX bikes with front brakes added. Redline was the latter:

Gary Fisher’s last laugh may be that the Sawyer is the most desirable {used} Trek frame from its era?

I put together a little photo journal of the first {annual?} Rubbermaid* 100 ride. Lots of {right} wrong turns and a fair few cargo kilometres.
