Does matching post and stem really matter? Because I hate it when they don't match, but are we really just feeding odd compulsions?

Wherever C4L lives, winter must have just hit him hard.

Is it an old Stronglight crank for a square taper BB? They have a slightly different thread for the dustcap/extracter than standard. You need the special Stronglight crank extracter as well.

So, checking in for our flight, we couldn't get contiguous seats. Our toddler is going in a middle seat, though, and we're not going to temper his enthusiasm. We may get those contiguous seats, yet.

I am assuming it is new, so more of a Sugino clone than a French heirloom. But I was happy with my Stronglight 50/36 Sugino clone crank (back in the geared days), so I wouldn't be opposed to new regardless. I am muilling as it is truly a frivolous buy.

My box of pedals arrived, and looking at the stack of pedals does make it feel excessive. I kind of feel like a Doomsday prepper for the Pedapocalypse. If the overwhelming majority of my unclipping is done with my left foot, and I like the 15° clips action much better than the 20°, would it be wrong to use 15°'s on the left and 20's on the right? It would give me twice as many sets.

In other news, I am starting to suspect that smoking may have negatively impacted my long function. It is just a theory that the two may be linked, as I don't have a peer reviewed medical publication to prove it.
