I think the toupe is pretty dang nice man

Those are pretty nice tires. Heavier than I like to run (since I'm an XC weenie and usually run 2.0s) but I did use those last winter and they were great. I'll be putting them back on my bike for the wet season this year too

Been riding with my dorky transition glasses for way too long... I'm losing my last piece of Fredness with these. . .
In-Frame Rx is friggin' expensive but dang they're comfy.

Holy mother of Pearl!!! They aren't that big!

Are those Rx? What's the maximum prescription you can have? I am -6.75, and It gets a bit windy riding with my regular glasses with clip ons.

Just need Ramon to get some now

They are Rx and they're going to be in-lens which cost a little more. These were $370 total. They make an Rx insert that most people opt for that's a little cheaper and I'll bet they are the way to go for you. Go to rudyproject.com and find a local dealer to see if they can go that far. These are the most comfortable sunglasses I've ever tried. Love em'!

I have had a pair of Rudy Project Rydon for the last 4 years, they are great. I like the polarized photochromic lenses. They vary in intensity according to ambient light preventing me to carry an extra pair of lenses for dark conditions.

my Ergomo broke down (but they claim they can repair it), so I ended up getting DuraAce SRM Pro (non-wireless version)

BlastRadius

Hmm, maybe I should go with 2.1 on the rear.

I guess it all depends on what you're doing. I generally do a lot of climbing, trails are fairly smooth and fast. I'm not jumping, or riding big rocks or stunts or anything.

bigredgrad01

Pricey, I'll think about those though.
In the meantime, I ordered these for about 1/10th the price

Got my wheels today I put on an Ultegra 12-27 cassette and conti GP 4000 S tires. Also got some CF bottle cages (closeout pricing FTW - check out nashbar, they have 'em for $18/ea).

Some new (well used) Ksyrium Elite wheels off ebay. Got them trued and ready by the lbs (and bought some Conti 4000s's while I was there too to seal the deal)

I tried really hard to buy new road shoes. I think I've tried on close to 18 different ones. Nothing fits. Tomorrow I do something drastic, or should I say expensive?.

Been going a little overboard with Chainlove. In the last month, I've purchased two mtb shorts, a long sleeve, a short sleeve jersey, a gore windstopper jacket, and bib knickers. Scary thing is I don't "need" them but just can't resist the deals. If they were selling willpower, I'd probably buy that too!

ahpook

Hey, I got some Conti GP 4000 as well, exhorserider. My previous set of ultras was beat, and I was never happy with their crappy flat resistance. Hopefully the vectran in the 4k will be a bit better against glass in the roadway.

I ordered a fit kit to get a pair of these: https://www.d2customfootwear.com/

Finally, I'll have happy feet!

I love buying stuff! This has been a pretty good week for that too.

The fit kit for my new shoes arrived yesterday, tracings and impressions made, and it's back out today. They tell me it's possible that I'll receive them before the month is out .

Today I finished up the adjustments to my bike to improve the fit. This included a conversion to threadless style stem, the stem, and new bars. It feels a LOT better, though doesn't look as nice. Oh well.

I've been running the 4000 S for probably about 1k mi now, so far so good. Flat protection is on par with my old gator skins( so far ). Since these tires were mounted, I've been cornering much faster, the tires sticks to the road much better than the gators, or Hutchinson pros I've used before. When these are done, I'm probably gonna try a pair of Utremos, I hear they are even stickier and uses the same Vectran tech.

redspoke

I have been let-down by the 4000's. I don't feel like they grip worth a crap. I had high hopes and am left disappointed. That, and they seem like they're wearing out rapidly quick. Hopefully the 4000S (Black Chili) are better for you Matt.

Bottle of Pro-Link. No biggie.
