Argh -- I bought a vintage #Marchisio thread-on freewheel in excellent condition for my #Bullseye #MTB hubs on eBay. It came today in the mail, and to my relief it looked ~exactly~ like the old one I want to replace.

But when I tried to screw the freewheel onto the hub, it didn't fit. 🤔

Turns out there were different standards back in the day, two of which are ISO (34.92mm) and “Italian” (35mm). 😭

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1. Chiming in late from Ventura County, CA. Too much going on in my cycling world lately. Last race of the youth MTB cycling league season 2 weekends ago up in Tehachapi. Very fun, but the end of an era with it my youngest son's last race of his high school career. 7 years (they start in 6th grade). He only missed one race, the first one, due to a soccer tournament. I did an instagram post on that.

Then we had our last practice group ride and the end-of-season MTB team party, with lots of speeches, which I'm not very good at, but I stumbled my way through. Now we're doing some fun rides until the end of the month with whatever kids have time for it. Those are nice events since during the season we don't often get to ride with others on the team outside of our practice groups and now we get to mix together and meet new people.

I didn't have the easiest coaching season this time. I had some younger kids that were being mean to each other, so had to deal with that and their parents. But, it is all part of the experience and you hope you make some sort of difference in their lives, not just in getting them involved in cycling and the outdoors but also in building character. I know the team and the league had a big influence on both of our sons' development. #MTB #BikeTooter

The youngest son in his first race of his youth mountain biking career, back in 2019. He had long hair at the time, which is flowing out behind him.
Our youngest son in his last race of his high school career, Tehachapi, 5/25/2025. He is going over the final rocky section before turning down to the finish line. His front tire is up in the air and a cloud of dust is behind him. In this race he got a flat tire on the first lap, fixed it, and made up all of the positions he lost. The hills are dry behind him. The skies are blue, but it was windy.
We did a ride to the beach and back for our last practice group ride of the 2025 season. Sycamore Cove, CA, 5/31/2025. One of my riders is sitting on the beach, watching the waves. It was warm inland, but overcast and cool at the coast. This rider likes to wear older uniforms. Note that it is the same jersey as my son is wearing in his 2019 race. This is my comeback kid. She was doing well in her first few years, but broke her collarbone and took a year off. This year she decided to return and the competitive spark returned. She was 3rd overall in her racing division.
Two Newbury Park High School mountain bike team coaches, in their yellow coach jerseys, cross the finish line in the Coach race at the league Championships weekend in Tehachapi, CA, 5/24/2025. This was a fun race to let the coaches compete on the "middle school" course. Coaches created their own race plates. Mine was a stuffed kitty (I'm the rider on the left).

Just got back from a #bike ride on the Canyon Rim trail. The prickly pear cacti are really putting on a show all along the trail. Plus plenty other flowers like evening primrose, both white and yellow varieties (and fully open in the middle of the day -- I've never figured out why people think they bloom in the evening) and sidebells penstemon.

An area covered by prickly pear cactus, covered with yellow (and a few pink) flowers. Farther away you can see a few smaller cactus clumps, also flowering.
A clump of large 4-petaled, bright yellow flowers growing amid rocks and sand.
Two clumps of delicate violet roughly trumpet-shaped flowers, with blue veins and white innards. They're growing from stalks maybe a foot high, and all the flowers on a given stalk point sideways in the same direction.

Ah, gestern mal der ersten Schwung Verschleißteile fürs #MTB gekauft, noch gedacht, war jetzt auch teuer genug. Eben beim Radeln aufgefallen, das ja evtl noch Bremsscheiben getauscht werden müssen.

Och. 💸

I did a nice long #mtb ride on Sunday to explore a new area of Coyote Lake-Harvey Bear Ranch that has been opened to bikes. There were lots of wildflowers, some deer, turkeys and a fox. Alas, only pictures of the flowers. It was a great ride.

Close up of a field of tall grass dotted with purple lilly wildflowers. The flowers are called Ithuriel's Spear.

Ruins of an old wooden ranch house with a large oak tree in its back yard.The house has a rusted corrugated metal roof. The window glass and doors are missing from the house. On the left side is a dilapidated wood shed.
