Raced in the rain today. It poured like crazy. Had 5 feet visibility at some point. Zero creak from the Praxis Works BB.

Well, after a LONG week of tests putting it off, finally got it back up and running 
Went by the LBS and picked up a ravx 3-15nm torque wrench: 80$
drove around town looking for an extender to reach down into the top cap to get the expander: 5$ in gas
drove to my apartment, picked up my bike and drove back to the lbs to ask how I make it reach it: 2$ in gas
The look on my face when the dude separated the expander from the top cap to install it: priceless
Thinking about it, having 5nm and 6nm preset torque wrenches...I have no use for this thing lol.
Also...my phone takes REALLY crappy pictures in low light.

When its all said and done i am a really humble guy. And i am very thankful for all that GOD have bless me with. I may have all these material things. But the thing that gives me the greatest fulfillment in life is helping others. And no i don't know more than anyone else i still have a lot to learn and i pray for more wisdom everyday.

Start with th ebike blue book, it is a decent guide line

watch a few auctions on ebay with bids and see how high the price goes.
It that the vibe that god blessed him with material possessions in a society that clearly judges the self worth of others on their material possessions? I am getting that also.
Did he ever quit music like he said he was?
Also, how long till my drivetrain needs replacement? I want some campy! (I think) Time to put some miles on her.
Her name is Kate, and unlike my other girlfriend, she never tells me "no"

I think you just hit the nail on the head! No idea if he quit music, perhaps he'll come back to this thread and give more details in that regard.

Right now I'm just debating whether I should finally go with some new wheels. I'd really like to pull the trigger, but I also want a suit for wedding season. A check from snow shoveling will arrive soon, which means I'll have enough cash to pull the trigger on the wheels if I so choose...
And I was happy to be riding with the Ksyrium Elites! Is there anything better? (kidding)

Go with the wheels, they will be with you until death due you three apart.

I deleted some car posts that were derailing the thread. Feel free to post that stuff in the Addiction thread; it doesn't belong in here.
