Katy Trail Preparation

With bicycle racing taking a hit in 2020 a few friends and I decided to knock a multi-day bicycling trip off of all of our bucket lists.

995.1 Miles on a Hambini Bottom Bracket

The day has finally come. I have hit 1000 miles on my Hambini Classic BB86 Bottom Bracket, well. 995.1 miles to be exact, but I simply could not be bothered to get back on the trainer and crank out 5 more miles. The Hambini bottom bracket has done well so far. I have had no…

Stems, Handlebars and Spacers

I always seem to get pain in between my shoulder blades and particularly my right shoulder/neck. I chalked it up to poor posture and continued to work on proper form and core strength, but then I came across a Francis Cade video that featured Bike Fit James discussing handlebar choice and how to measure for…

Mini-ITX Home Linux Server

This is just a general server build write up. I am only listing prices to show what is possible because it is unlikely you may find the same deals on these components that I did. You could also go with standard heat sink and fan. I opted for the radiator because of my case situation….

Cheap pH Meter for Raspberry Pi with ADS1115 and PH4502C
