edit: not to put you down though, it's great you're considering these elements of your ride, more people should, just thought it was a little silly =P

hah, i'm sorry man, but it's kinda ironic for me to hear you talking about tires reducing rotational weight when you're running deep v's

Found a really cool old crankset for my Raleigh... 
It's a White Industries 22-34-46. Just ordered a killer set of all black Salsa chainrings for it, and will post another pic when they come in.

Bought a new tube finally at a local shop here in Changwon. The guys in the shop recognized me from the local fixed gear blog. It was weird.

Your cog is slipping.
Tektro R720 front
My cheapo brake caliper cinch-bolt finally stripped all the way after constant adjusting/fiddling. I could have just bought a new bolt but then I would have been right back where I was so I figured it was a good time for an upgrade. I hardly ever use it and was thinking of going brakeless altogether until I was riding home from work today (with a non-functioning brake), got cut off by some aggro old dude in a Miata (reallly? a Miata???), went to hit my brake and obviously...nothing happened. I managed to save my ass and ordered a good brake right when I got home. I've got an amazing wife, a little Scrod on the way and no desire to be taken out by some ******* in a Miata.

I'm a newbie to the site but I just got a 39t chainring on my 2007 Jamis Sputnik and it has made all the difference in the world. I don't dread the inclines and wind like I used to. Life is good.

Won in an alleycat:
Affinity lo pro front fork.
Miche track chain ring.
I've been tempted for a long time to build up a lo pro frame as a winter project. In fact, I was even thinking of using a Miche group set. Is this a sign?

A bigger chainring. 75.6GI just wasn't doing it for me. May have to go even bigger once I build lighter wheels.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
Just got the new Planet Bike Blaze 2 watt headlight and am going out to put it to the test thinking the run time on Nimh rechargeables will exceed the stated 4/8/15 hour run times that are based on alkaline cells.
