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

Sweet, I'll have to look. However, I should probably sell off some older stuff. My closet is literally half full of cycling kit at the moment.

chainlove has been blowing them out the last two days at $38, think they're on sale at competitive cyclist/backcountry for $40 right now.

Never pay more than $40 for conti's, they're always on sale somewhere.

Reason?

I knew that was pretty cheap. I'm looking for race tires and I'm already using these. I need something that rolls better. The ride feels dull to me.

The 800.

So I was messing around my LBS's light display when I ran into this puppy.
While trying to turn it on, I figured to look into the lens to see if it had a low charge or something as some of them were.
Turned out I wasn't pressing the silicone rubber button hard enough and burned my retinas for a good couple of minutes.

Had to buy it.

Two Wheel Cool - Stretch Silicone Toe Caps

I like these better than the neoprene type, less bulky, don't soak up water, transparent , nice big toe bumper and easier to clean just wipe down or run under water.
Also they clear the cleat nicely and don't get in the way of engagement

For a sizing reference , this is the large size toe caps on size 42 (US 8.5, UK 8) Shimano SH-R320 shoes

Im assuming there were sold out since they sent me 2 emails that my tires havent shipped yet. blah blah blah. they refunded me the other day so i just went to Amazon since i saw an offer for $25 credit for an amazon purchase with my Amex card so overall they came out be be $31.23 each. I guess it worked out better for me.

I wish they had small in that colorway. I emailed them to ask when they would have the small size, but no reply as of yet.

Nothing too exciting for me lately. New planet bike super flash tail light (lost my last one), new wheel magnet (had no speed while on my trainer), a Garmin ant+ usb stick that will go with upcoming subscription to trainer road once it gets here. It's friggin cold here in Ohio now so I am looking forward to trying trainer road.

Yes, I think they have small production runs, I had to wait 3 months for mine.

Thanks for the idea. I like sticking it to the man. I just bought the Merckx shirt. It's actually pretty cool too!
