Asians have wide feet? Heck, that maybe why I have hell finding shoes that fit well.

That was news to me as well.

Yes they are actually advertised that way on eBay.

Got one of the new Trek helmets today

I've never seen Asians for sale on Ebay.

Are you hanging out with Robert Kraft?:innocent:

bought my first road bike (although have seen it called gravel bike at various places so i'm confused).

bike is nothing fancy at all a btwin triban 100 from decathlon. for my current budget it was that or a refurbished vintage bike, my lack of knowledge and advice from a friend who bought from same guy about 2 years ago made me go for the triban. was essentially a case of warranty giving piece of mind and friend loved the vintage bike but said after awhile they kinda start falling apart due to abuse, and i know i tend to abuse my bikes just as much as he does.

also bought a seatpost mounted rear rack for the bike

A couple of frivolous purchases for fun.

I have gotten so absolutely sick and tired of black marks on my leg and clothes and door handles and cleaning that crap up.

Today I bought:
-2x bags molten speed wax
-Mini crock pot cooker
-Medium sized heated ultrasonic cleaner
-a spare chain for all 3 bikes

I'm going to super clean all the chains, including removing the factory lube gunk, then speed wax all 6. Have the other 3 as spares. All connected by quick links.

I AM SO FREAKING DONE with the whole getting super nasty all the time with chain lubes.

We'll see how it goes.

26" Velocity Dually wheel set
 

I am anxiously awaiting delivery - going to try them on my 2015 AWOL with Rat Trap Pass 2.3 tires - should be interesting - internal rim width of 39mm. For sizing I installed an old set of 26" MTB wheels with 2.3" tires mounted onto the AWOL. It looks a little ridiculous and I like it!

frivolous cosmetic purchases are best purchases

:foo:

Most people learn how to keep their leg from touching the chain.

I can't remember the last time it happened to me.

^This^

Seems like SO much work and extra $ to avoid showering and cleaning a little grime off you.
I occasionally get chain grime off me, but, I just wipe it off. lol

I understand why some people choose wax(I don't with them), but avoiding a CAT 5 tattoo has to be the worst reason.

Also bought a new set of Pirelli tubeless tyres. They haven't arrived yet though...

What if you could gain a few watts on the TT bike AND make the wife happy by not transferring black tar bike lube all over the house. Win win.

Can't have too many tools.
