For me, generally, after I take a Shimano chain off a bike, it ain't going back on.

I feel your pain. The longer the ride, the more it feels like it.

I'm thinking maybe 2016. I like short and fast rides, not so much long, sustained climbing. Maybe I'll come around after doing some of his training rides with him. He has completed it 3 or 4 times now.

We have a training group going here in town for it. I think the registrations are full for this year but I can get you added to the training group if you want. You can just do three passes if you want, you don't have to do all five. Just in case you were able to get in.
Are you doing Kevin's Finish the Ride on Sunday?

I wish I could do the Finish the Ride, but I'm committed to run sound for a Christmas program. It has been so long since I've been on the bike that I think the titanium is starting to rust!

I'm not even thinking of next year. MAYBE 2016. I'll train closer to that day. I'm thinking I'll go ride up and down Glendora Mountain Road all day several times before the actual ride. Should be a reasonable facsimile, less the beautiful scenery. And it's an attempt on all 5, or nothin. I want to sign the poster and buy the jersey.

I guess I could maybe get something el cheapo and cut a hole in the finger tip for Garmin purposes, if that doesn't make the gloves fall apart.

Was 55* here for my run and that was a bit chillier than I would have liked, though it was ok with Under Armour after a few miles.

Anybody want my old Minoura truing stand for the price of postage? A little beat up, but it works fine on 130mm OLD road wheels and smaller. Can't say right now what the shipping would cost. Something less than $20 I would guess but it is all steel, so it does weigh a bit.

Can you operate a touch screen with these (as in Garmin)? My full fingered gloves somehow allow this but they're made of a thick enough material that I can't distinguish my Di2 shifters very well.
I guess I could maybe get something el cheapo and cut a hole in the finger tip for Garmin purposes, if that doesn't make the gloves fall apart.

Sure. Is the second set of dropouts for 20"? Maybe 18 also?

No, top dropouts are for front, bottom for rear. They both can expand or conract to accept slightly wider or narrower than intended OLDs. I think it was originally 100 and 126mm. I use it always on 100 and 130 wheel sets. I did just stretch it for a 135 mm MTB wheel last week and it was fine. Any diameter wheel up to 29" should be fine.
