Yes, he was enthusiastic! It seems that in addition to fashion sense some fellows have a sensitive nature. I think his feelings got hurt, left voluntarily.

Conti Tubless GP5000. 32mm tubless works great in light gravel and rough asphalt.
half price. $94.95 -> $44.58
These tires were a fortune earlier in the year.

When applied correctly, this stuff works great and keeps your chain clean. Application is key.

I didn't see it coming. He made me a better person with his product introductions... and a little more wary of strangers.
Best of luck with his future endeavors and safe travel when he encounters others that express differing values.

I looked at the last thread that he contributed and I am not clear on why his exit was initiated.
He has cut his direct links to his other sites, but he leaves a fairly distinct fingerprint on the internet.
His comment of "I try not to condemn people or groups but will condemn behavior and ideology" allows me some insight to his behavior. He should have started his postings with this absolution.
I still have not yet used my flask on a bike ride, so maybe his sermon did reach me...........maybe.

In the end the stuff from bluesky went in the bin and I purchased a small bottle from squirt. Maybe I was unlucky????

Anyone jump the Vittoria tires bf/cm deals? 25% off and free ship was pretty sweet but I didn't need any more tires although a set of the Terreno Zero's in 650x47 was super tempting.

Dramatic price drop in Stages Power meter to $299. Now just gotta figure out where to buy one from.
● Shimano 105 R7000 Power L $299USD (was $529)
● Shimano Ultegra R8000 $349USD
