Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

My second favorite isn't soulful, but I still enjoy it. Steel GT Peace 9r, rigid; my fitness bike.
I don't know what it is about the Fisher, it just is, it's repeatable every time, and I while I still marvel at it, I've stopped trying to figure it out 🚲

I think the "soulful" aspect of it is why I build all of my bikes up from bare frames. There is something about picking out every single part that ends up on my bikes. It's uniquely mine.
I develop attachments to my bikes and I rarely sell them. They have stories and memories to go along with each one. I have had a running hardtail in my collection for as long as I can remember, so there is a lot of nostalgia with me for them. But, if I had to sell one bike right now, I couldn't sell my full squish, Stumpjumper Evo. That bike is like an extension of me.
There is something that excites me when I stare at a blank slate like this:

This time of the year sucks. I've gravity bled my brakes, installed a new fix dps on my son's polygon T7 as well as a fox rhythm 34 I had lying around. Now we wait until May.
Yeah, the only action my bikes see is teardown and maintenance this time of year.
All too often, I purchase upgrades for them that I have to stare at for months before I can even ride them.
I nearly purchased a new Cane Creek Helm MKII Coil fork for my hardtail a few weeks ago. Stopped myself last minute when I realized I wouldn't even really ride it for several months and not to even bother. -

The page was loading slowly, and when I first saw @SeleniumFalcon 's "Woodstock Reunion" post loading, I thought, Oh neat, Ken always has cool photos... Then when I saw this patch generate, I thought, Oh no, this is not going to be what I thought it was... But by then, it was too late... And then it got worse. Or better. If you're into that sort of thing.

I took apart my derailleur clutch as is was no longer working, it needed a clean and some lube. -

Shimano I assume?
It was a 2-3x a season job for me to pull Shimano clutches, clean and lubricate them. The 12 speed ones in particular. They do not have a great seal if you ride in the wet at all, or wash your bike.
I've spent the last few seasons on Sram AXS, love it. I do want to give the new T-Type stuff a go, but I would have to essentially pull a completely fine and functional drivetrain to make the swap, doesn't seem worth it.

Exactly, Shimano 12spd. First time in 3 years. Could also be time for a new one. First time I have ever had an issue with the SLX. The T type looks amazing. For me remembering to keep the batteries charged would be a challenge. I just like to pickup and go. I don't think my Trance has UDH compatibility either.
Like you, I walk into the unfinished part of the basement and can only stare at my bike. I do rotate the tires every time I walk by to move the sealant around and give the cranks a turn to hear the hub. Thinking of servicing my DPX2 or sending it off. -

I would send it off if it's anything beyond a basic aircan service.
Or, if you have a desire, I guess Fox offers a trade in service now. You send your old shock in and they give you a credit towards a newer model. The Float X is a significantly improved shock over the DPX2.
