1. Last couple of rides out (in Alps) I kinda knew my front brake felt a little soft. It seemed to always recover from tilting the bike over and pumping the lever and never got *too* bad on any single run. Obviously air in the reservoir getting in the lines. Formula Cura. Went to bleed out the air today and the flip flop master cylinder handily has a second bleed port on the underside. I use two syringes to cycle fluid just across the m/c reservoir and purge air. Yup. The underside bleed screw was part unscrewed and leaking, just about to drop on the ground.
2. Strava running, trying to get close to Jolanda Neff's time down the flow trail (no chance btw.). Punching in my desperate pedal strokes out of the few slow corners the gears are slipping. Yup. Rear maxle dangling out completely disengaged from the drive side.
I'm really good at maintaining my own bike.
