New summer tires and a convenient little stem bag:
btw, my old tires blew up when pumping to max pressure... was not wearing protective goggles, was luck nothing came into my eyes...

Stem bag is ugly!
And pumping tires to max PSI is noobish!
Spring Cleaning!
The super rare WD40. Cleaned the derailleurs and chain with that.
Walgreen's branded NICE! wipes. Used that to wipe down the bike. Cleaned the rims and brake rim part. Wiped off the WD40 with it too.
No name brand paper towels to wipe down the bike.
Replaced brake pads with the Dura 2 Next generation of a all weather, high performance Kool Stop.
Re-lubed with the very expensive $4 Tri-Force superior lubricant made of unobtanium.
And regreased what needed with Park Tool's grease.

Well today I received an 11-32 ultegra 6800 cassette to put on my alloy training/gravel wheels. Going to pair it by changing the cage assembly of my Dura Ace 9070 derailleur to a 6800gs cage which I should have tomorrow. Sacriledge I feel but going to try nevertheless after my weekend races. I plan to take pics and a vid of the project since in my research I hear about people doing it (Leonard Zinn) but can't seem to find any documentation or instructions

First cycling clothing: Nashbar sport baggy shorts so I don't look like a cyclist, but have the benefit of compression shorts.
Nashbar's Orange pump arrived also. Gauge is much improved over the XLC pump I had, gauge is more responsive and can easier get to the PSI I want, 95 front, 105 rear.

Remind anyone who doesn't like it that Bradley Wiggins won the 2012 TdF with a modified Di2 RD and 11-32 cassette.
