    Today's Ride

    I used Rex instead of the company car for my out-of-town appointment today, I was just as fast and discovered places that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

    Hi folks, I'm looking for a dust cap for a Suntour XC II pedal so if you have one that you don't need anymore please let me know. I already tried the MKS ones but they don't fit as they have a smaller diameter.

    Today's Ride
