Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I've had Quad locks for a few years now. Rock solid. Just make sure the mount is secure to your phone/case and it'll never let you down. Does add considerable bulk to the phone/case though... so i just picked up a spare case just for cycling. lol

Those HED skewers should work on any road wheels that uses QR. If you are buying one for your road bike, make sure they are road skewers (130mm Rear).

Sooo many toys recently bought:



Reynolds Assault Disc clinchers along with rotors and a new cassette
Giant Gavia tubeless road tires
Schwalbe G One tubeless gravel tires



Shimano RS505/BR-RS785 hydraulic upgrade kit (one sale for $242 at CompetitiveCyclist) and a bleed kit

So far, only the wheels have arrived... and no, I'm not getting impatient at all...

A pair of 110psi, 20x2.10 Primo Comets for my Vybe. Still feeling them out: They're gripper and much livelier than the puncture-prone stock Kenda Kraniums, but can get really dicey on even the slightest hint of gravel, especially the kind of pebbles that gets strewn around at intersections and the like.

On Monday I ordered 500 BALLS! Assorted steel ball bearings, that is.

Also a couple cone wrenches and a grease gun. Yeah I'm trying to do some wheel and pedal servicing.

Also a Tubshroom tub drain hair catcher thingy for good measure.

Was told someone ordered 500 frames and they are having difficulty packaging them... My frame has been ready for a while. Very annoyed I am.

Ordered two sets of Schwalbe S-One tubeless tires from Art's (one sale for $30 each, if you can fit 30c tires).
