I never go through red lights or do any other similarly dangerous stuff (anymore) but they must be kidding if they expect cyclists to put two feet down at every stop sign. Ironically, they will probably nail me for it, damn.

Used this coupon today at my local marks work warehouse. Made the carhartt stuff a bit more affordable.
Spend $70 save $30. Was told that the coupon lasts till end of June.

my winter wheelset ... when i took it off, the locknut broke (pretty sure that's what it's called), it's a formula hub, i think the axle also needs to be replaced, i think it got scratched up and as a result maybe a little rusty, the threading is definitely not smooth and might be why the locknut broke
is it worth trying to fix? would a shop be able to do it? i don't know if the axles and locknuts are standardized. i imagine replacing the hub would be pretty expensive, since it's the hub + labor to take apart and rebuild the wheel

A little bit, but not really. The bearings will have to come off and be repressed since it's a shouldered axle. I'm not sure if those are readily available off the top of my head, maybe one of the other t.o fixed guys know. Unless you destroyed threads or bent the axle,it's probably something a little elbow grease and wd-40 should fix right up.

exhibitx: I've got a brand-spankin-new spare axle for a rear formula hub buried in a closet somewhere.. 160mm long with a 10mmx1 thread. All yours if you need it.. I swapped mine for a longer one to fit my conversion's wider spacing.

Anyone here wear contacts? I just found out I have extra health care money to blow + have been missing all the perks of normal vision.. full peripheral vision, not having to wipe off rain, and using sunglasses when it's nice out. I'm thinking daily disposables for occasional use, but welcome your collective advice on cycling + contact lenses.
