Today was the MMBA Annual Expo<\/a> in Lansing, MI<\/a>, and part of this included the swap meet where people will bring spare\/old parts to sell. There’s a few parts that I’ve been casually keeping an eye out for, and today a bunch of those found their way home with me. Spending a grand total of $40 I happened to acquire…<\/p>\n

…a new CamelBak<\/a> bladder for my trail work pack. (Only 1.5L, but it should be fine…): $10
\n…a nearly-new Shimano LX 11-34 cassette for the (temporary?) 1×9 conversion I’m planning for the El Mariachi<\/a>: $10
\n…a 1.0mm Surly Toob<\/a>: $10
\n…a Continental 26×1.75″ Hometrainer tire, in the original orange: $5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thus far I’m really happy with all these purchases. Each was something that I needed, and each was something that someone was looking to get rid of. The Continental Hometrainer tire seems to be particularly great as It doesn’t make a chirping \/ squeaking sound while on the trainer, which results in an overall quieter ride.<\/p>\n

I also thought that the expo came out rather well. (Nice job, Di<\/a>!) I particularly liked how all the swap meet people were scattered amongst the vendors instead of in a swap meet ghetto at the back like they seemed to be last year. The snow and venue out in Lansing made for a long day, with ~1.75 hours of driving to get there and ~2.5 to get to my parents house afterward, but it was all quite worthwhile. The positive validation for the snow tires<\/a> was rewarding after all the rain we’ve been having.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
