As I recall it seemed to take a long time to get to our break at Dunn Brothers in Elk River due to a strong headwind. It started snowing again before we go to our break. It snowed earlier in the morning and we found there was more snow as we rode north of the Mississippi River... 11-09-18
Not as much snow in Anoka...11-09-18

On 11-27-18, I led a ride that I called Balaclava Tuesday. As soon as I began riding I had issues with what I thought was my rear derailleur. It wasn't getting any better so I decided to change up the ride and make a stop at Maple Grove Cycle to see if they could figure it out. It was an issue with my rear Onyx freehub. Although, Travis took it apart and cleaned it I was still having issues for the rest of the ride. Lets say it was a very frustrating 48 mile ride.

I drove up Revolution Cycle and Ski in St. Cloud after fat biking to have my Onyx hub repaired. Mike made arrangements with Daniel of Onyx Racing to come over to his store to repair the hub. Daniel took it apart and replaced the bearings, but the key was to use the correct correct grease on the sprag clutch. It needs to be a special grease that goes down to -40 degrees F.
This summer I had one of the bearings replaced, but the special grease wasn't used on the sprag clutch when putting it back together. What I find strange about what happen yesterday was I've been riding in just as cold weather and I hadn't had a problem.

I want to say "thank you" to Mike with Revolution Cycle and Ski and Daniel with Onyx Racing to getting me back to riding my Seven Evergreen SL with very little down time.
On 11-29-18 Catherine and I when fat biking around Elm Creek Park.

11-29-18...After fat bike riding I changed out my rear 45NRTH Gravdal studded tire with a new one. I've already had two flats in this short cold weather riding season. The studs have been pushing through the tire causing a very small hole in the tubes. This time I put some RhinoDillo tire liners in both tires to help prevent the studs from causing a flats. Last years winter season I also had 2 flats from the studs pushing through the tire.
So far I've ridden about 530 miles with the RhinoDillo's in both tires between 12-01-18 to 12-22-18 without any flats. I'm sure I didn't need to put them in the front tire as all my flats have been on the rear.
Here you can see the stud pattern from the inside of the tire. .. not much material between the stud and the tube.. 11-29-18
