Tip of the day thread...
here's a thread to pass on a piece of useful info.
don't like the info? tough luck.
here's a start: the pbk has one last pair of pro race tires on clearance. they are NOT pro2race.
they're yellow. if you can live with that, they're only 22$ each.
get them before they're gone - https://probikekit.com/display.php?code=Y2055

1) plastic grocery-bags work great under booties (but over the shoes), to keep the feet dry.
2) if your wheels squeak when you brake, sometimes it's just because there's gatorade (sugar) on the rim. just spray it w/ regular water and problem solved.
3) one can gauge the amount of riding a bikeforums poster does by using a simple equation: their riding amount is inversely proportional to their posts per day. (meaning those that post more probably ride less - or else, how do you find so much time to post?!)

Yellow tires -- the perfect thing to add some uniqueness to an otherwise boring set of McKsyrium type wheelset... would bear resemblance to those ubiquitous Golden Arches.

Tip of the day:
Don't sell your Powertap, because later on you'll really want it. Same goes for the carbon wheels too.
