I always log on just to see what you guys are up to (you're good for a laugh) but you lose me with the cricket talk. I'm wondering if any of you skinny tire guys are running Campy or Shimano 10 speed cassettes, and do you think a Wipperman Ti chain is just a silly, overpriced bit of gear.

i'm running DA 10.......haven't had any issues with the chain, the DA one works perfectly fine....can pick em up for around $70-$80. I don't think I'd be spending much more than that unless I had too...chains aren't something i think about that much....whats the perceived advantage of this wipperman thing?.....how much?

It was funny how it started: I could NEVER get my mate out in the nets (the guy I was telling you about), so the Superglue was a desperate attempt to get some advangtage. It did it with a brand new ball, and the results were more frigtening than the first a-bomb tests
