I'm eating right now. There really is not much wrong aesthetically with the bike. It is the collected internal wear and hard to see broken bits that make it hard to ride. I'll take a pic with the new wheels in a couple minutes.

Not by name but by standard. There is a large gap visible on all but the small cog so I am almost sure an 8 speed will be fine with the correct sized spacer behind it.

If it will take an 8 speed cassette it will take a ten speed cassette unless it has the dura ace hub of a particular configuration that had the taller splines. or if the hub doesnt have the bulge in the middle, that is an early 7 speed cassette hub.

oh you are putting an 8 speed on where a 10 speed was. you wont need a spacer just put it on and tighten the ring. However the 10 speed shifter pulls at a different rate and wont index propperly. So you would need to line it up in whatever gear ypou wanted to run and leave it there.

All I said is that if--for some reason--I got on a lowcel-esque tear and started doing 200+ miles a week, I would need to do more routes than I've been doing recently, or I would get bored.

I've been seeing a lot of impressive racing from Aussies as of late!
Plenty of good Aussie finishes at the Track Worlds, now this at Sunny King!
Kudos Johnny (or however he spells it) !!!

Join a cycling club. You may do the same routes, but you have folks to ride with, and if speed is the goal, folks to chase.

Hey rjones28,
Amongst my fun Saturday night activities I notice this:
Two questions:
(1) wut
(2) How will introducing coasting into the equation alter it from here on out?

Probably because of oil prices. Alternatively, coasting may be directly responsible for this situation. Didn't he arrive in Asia at the end of the first quarter?

I don't know. It would be interesting to see a breakdown of mountain bike products on the trade ledger. Is he going with a domestic or imported setup?

Just returned from my Saturday morning suffer-fest. 48 miles, 3600'. 71 degrees when I left at 9:30, 90 when I returned 3 1/2 hours later. Super windy and my ride boxes the compass...so no long periods with tailwinds.
In other news...Gianni is still missing and hopes are fading that he will return. He was a very special cat and we miss him.
