Wheel alignment, Hub dismantle, Easton Haven

Wheel alignment
My wheel set now is Easton Haven. I have aligned the wheel a few time since I bought in February. Front 15mm QR and Rear 12mm QR don't fit for my old alignment stand but I checked them briefly. Easton Haven wheel set is still in good condition at minimum effort.

Try Stan's sealant

I have been using tubeless wheels with tubes but I heard that no tube tires are light rolling from my friends so I tried to add Stan's No Tube sealant by myself.

Ninose trails Nov.24

We go to Mt.Nebiso every weekend. It seems to be very crowded near the area today. So we decided to go to the Ninose trails in this weekend. Skies are blue and warmer than expected.

Mt.Nebiso Nov.18

Definitely we ride on the Mt.Nebiso trails today!
It is 7 am in the morning and already started traffic congestions. It is difficult to come here but our trails are very quiet.
I prefer rural places to see autumn color than crowded popular spots.

My bike now

My bike now is 2012 Yeti SB 66.
I have been riding on this frame since Feb. 2012 so it is 9 months used. Peddling is very efficient on rough uphills. Descending likes stick on the road and super fast.

Fork overhaul and replacement

I changed the fork from 2011 Fox Float RLC 150 15QR to 2012 Fox Float DRCV RLC 150 15QR Taper. Only differences are steerer size and air spring construction.
