ordered a a trp Hy/rd caliper to upgrade my Salsa Journeyman from the promax caliper that freezes solid down around 18-20F Hope this helps and I can add a front one sooner as opposed to later.

Both from Ornot, great pieces, super light and packable, but does the job for our coolish NorCal winters. Excellent design and fit, I love their stuff!

Where did you end up buying it? I'm looking to put R7000 on my bike this winter, but it seems like it's out of stock at the places I usually shop.

Got some of these with a progressive prescription. With dual VSP they weren't too crazy expensive. My eyes still tear up a little on fast descents but not as bad as with the non-cycling glasses I was wearing previously. Optical quality is excellent and they weigh nothing...especially in comparison to my Maui Jim's.

Some sizes are listed out of stock, but if you wait a week they're usually back is stock. Most of the components are OEM and come in a cardboard box sealed by Shimano with no installation instructions.. Only a few come in the blue retail box.



The front dérailleur is very different from anything I've ever set up before. I couldn't have set it up without this utube video. There is a section around 8:30 that shows how to line up two white lines I would have never seen. The routing if the cable is very different too, he covers that very well. The bottom bracket (English) takes a 41mm socket, There are so many different bottom brackets out there now, it's ridiculous. You'll need the SHIMANO Hollowtech-II Crank-arm/Cap Tool, TL-FC16 to tighten the crank arm, don't over tighten it.



His other videos are very helpful too.

Tacx T4000 10-tooth pulley set for my Ironman's Suntour GPX rear derailleur. I'd been fussing for months over drivetrain drag. Felt like a brake pad was dragging the rim. Tried everything else, including overhauling the bottom bracket, but nothing solved the problem. But the new sealed bearing pulley set did the trick. Not bad for $10 or so.

Mrs. Claus was generous this year, so I must have been a good boy. Full Sora R3000 flatbar group to upgrade the Hybrid. TRP 8.4 V’s. Sent a set of Deore XT hub to Universal for a build around Mavic A719 battle tanks that get here tomorrow. More than enough for any rider but weight weenies or mine is bigger weekend rider types. This new Sora stuff is nice.

I just received my Varia RTL510 radar device.

Together with the Cycliq Fly6 camera I feel a little bit safer out on the road.

Trainer tire - time to reverse (or at least slow down) the winter weight gain.
