my silca 20+ year old silca pump has been eating seal kits so i finally broke down and replaced it using a gift card i was given:

so far it has been very nice the 3in gauge, wide base, and relief valve are very nice features but i still plan on repairing the old silca, i just need to find what is tearing the leather wiper.

i also gave myself a gift and participated in the rudy project "free gear deal"

noyz glasses:

i got the laser black lenses and a set of photochromic lenses. my first impressions are great. it is no wonder they are a favorite in the pro tour

helmet:

i dont think it will be as cool on a hot day as my previous helmet but it feels way more comfortable and secure. the previous giro dug in a few places.

the kit also included a hat, tshirt, and bag but they are not as important.
