$38 bux entry fee for a 50 mile gravel road race next month. Probably have to buy some better gloves before then as well.

Got a Pro Fit today, awesome experience. And I thank those that answer the question "what should I buy for my bike" with "get a fit and loose some weight".

After researching both options, it seems the blades are lighter, but less durable than the spring system (the blades break). I'm purchasing Keo 2 Carbons

Tesco Track Pump
Also a Multitool Kit.
Did go intending to buy some Muc-Off Bike Cleaning Brushes but there werent any.
Anyway I reckon the Track pump and tool were much better buys and both together were the same price as the brushes alone.

You get them from seller planetcyclery? They always seem to have the black/white ones up for $112.95...not sure why that color combo seems to sell for less. I was outbid on a used set just this morning. I also like that they are adjustable unlike the blades which you have to buy in one of 2 preset tensions. I know it's a "set it and forget it" type thing, but it's nice to be able to dial it in, and not have to potentially buy another set of pedals...
