Who sells road Kool-Stops? *leans towards Castelli...despite only getting one pair, b/c they really do seem to be substantially nicer*
I'm usually in shorts when riding.... occasionally if I'm out and about or night riding with plans to stop for a bevy..I'll toss fabric shorts over the riding shorts.

Has anyone tried Assos chamois creme? I heard Lance Armstrong say that was what he used. I'm pretty happy with my Butt Paste, but you never know.

Koolstop salmon is your friend.

I've got a couple hours to kill before meeting some friends for beerfood. If anyone wants to get together for a drink/coffee/whatnot, give me a ringyding.

Who...who sells this damnit?!?

Jet I found your old thread. I guess Nitto has some nice 27.0 ones. What did you end up getting?

I think urbane does?

Vittoria's are pretty common, although whites may be harder to find. Honestly, few places can compete with PBKs prices. White Rubino pros are $20 per on there right now.

And blue open corsa's are $36 https://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=Y1060

And that's before the 10% open discount. WIth free shipping, it's hard to beat.

The last Rubino Pro I bought locally cost $35.

I ended up getting an el-cheapo Kalloy from Urbane for about $20 or so. It is nothing fancy but it does the trick.

I talked to someone at Duke's and he said that RaceFace makes a 27.0 setback post but they are pretty expensive, well over $100 and it just wasn't in the cards for me.

How much setback is there on the Miche Supertype?

I HATE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i might be up for buying it

dang those supertypes are nice

Yes for sure. You need a ride with a long seat tube to make it work. They are supershort.

If I hadn't just picked up a sweet Dura Ace 27.2 seatpost, I would have been all over the Supertype, they look nice and I like the setback.

Happy Birthday to the birthday boy. Mec money is great.

I like the climbing shants from there, stretchy and super comfy.

Flimflam-I ditched the stock pads and put koolstops in today. Much, much better. The tektro ones were alreadyworn out.

Jer, thanks again for the bike and parts. All will be put to good use.

mind you, this guy probably abused it terribly

Thanks for that. I think the Miche...short of being a nice looking post...is crap. I find the "Safety System" on it very ironic.

Some NY freestyle dude broke it while pulling a wheelie...

Any recommendations for waterproof booties that will fit over my Sidi Eagles?

Yep. Good stuff. Best applied to both you and the chamois. I find if I just try to apply to an Assos chamois, it will soak up a lot of the creme (too much).

I find that's the case with most chamois-cream, though I don't usually use the stuff anyway. I've had the same tube of Chamois Butt'r for about 2 years now.

Pretty sure MEC has Koolstops, TJ - as does Urbane - the selection at MEC is a bit more limited, I think they're only the canti ones there (from my last check ages ago). Not sure where else, I've not looked to be honest. I'll be going to get mine very shortly.

Glad I remembered my rain pants today as I had to go upto Yonge/Eg after the GO to Union. Always catches me off guard when I skid a little due to backpedaling in the slippy rain. I rode home down Yonge to Davenport over to Dupont then down Bathurst, and I have to say I had the worst 'treatment' I've had in a while on the roads on Bathurst - just general inattentiveness and folks straddling both lanes when there were parked cars (these are folks that are in a line of moving traffic, just everyone else is in the correct position in the centre lane). Nothing really happened, I backed out of whatever close call would've happened in the squeeze but it's annoying to be disregarded. C'est la vie de la cycliste!

Edit: almost forgot the Dr. Benway siting - Bay/College at around 6:20pm tonight - different (weather friendly looking) ride which is what threw me off for a sec.

Anyone else planning on hitting up the premier of Seasons (the new film by The Collective) tomorrow night at No Regrets? https://www.thecollectivefilm.com/schedule_canada.html

what's the cover? oh and yell out of your office "Ryan smells" that would be funny.

Do you think this is worth $350, to start building up my fixie?

Who was it here who was looking for an older inexpensive shock?

*raises hand*

Also, I'm going to attempt a snot-filled Don ride this afternoon/evening. Anyone interested?
