San Diego, CA - San Luis Obispo, CA

-

I have taken this trip a few times now. It seams to be my general route between my new home is San Deigo and my friends house in San Luis Obispo. I have now gotten over my fear of freeways and have lost all hope of Hwy 1 going through LA so I just take the 405 and the 10 over to Hwy 1 where it's starting to get nice. I also discovered a fun motorcycle friendly burger place called Neptune's Net. There's always bikers of all kinds parked out front telling stories, eating burgers and drinking beer.


Overview:
Bike: Honda NT650GT
Distance: 310mi
Time: 5 hours 40 min (Less if you lane split a lot)
Sights: Neptune's Net North of Malibu right on Hwy 1 (34.053137, -118.962483)
            Hwy 154 (A good mountain road pass)
            Many vista points of the ocean

Singlespeed & Dinglespeed Gearing

Crankset and chainrings ready for dinglespeed install. Singlespeed bikes are great but lack in versatility. Gear them low for climbing up a mountain or gear them high for top speed. You can't have both. I often found myself wishing for a two speed bike. A high speed for riding across town and a low speed for the trails. The trick is having those two speeds without using a chain tensioner or derailleur. The answer was dinglespeed.

Non-Standard Threads with Fusion 360: Schrader to Presta Valve Adapter

-

Last week I had a flat tire on my mountain bike. Patching the tube wasn't a problem, that was done in a few minutes. However, quickly airing up and re-seating my 29x3.0 tire was going to be a pain with only my small hand pump. To get around this pain I have an old high volume foot pump but it only fits on Schrader valves and my mountain bike uses Presta. Normally, I use a brass Presta to Schrader adapter but on that day I couldn't find it. (I still can't find it...) I ended up borrowing a plastic adapter for the job. This lack of an adapter made me think, "Why not 3D print a few of my own?"
