About to get on the trainer for an attempt at some miles, still battling a cough, and congestion. Noticed this, looks fresh (no rust). Any recommendations on what to do to keep this from rusting?

I think it’s on sale for less at Merlin.
Man I wish I had 1,999 number threshold. An emonda would be sitting where my Creakvelo sits.
Also, Zipps would be where superteams sit.
1,999 is this a one time thing, or can you make like 7 purchases at 1,999, as long as they are separated you don’t have to notify?

Also, went ahead and halted the 3000 squats in 30 days.
Had about 5 days left, but this past trip I felt so awful I decided that I would stop, and after I missed so many days it didn’t feel like I should attempt to start to finish. So with that being said I did 2500 in 25 days. I don’t plan on doing any kind of measurement to see if it raised my ftp or anything. I do plan on cycling this every other month. Since it’s still early in December I think I will start again Jan 1st. I also plan on introducing weight each cycle.
Probably all in my head but my quads do look more defined from doing these.

Weird and disappointing you have that experience - my R2 creaked like crazy for all sorts of reasons that never turned out to be the bike. Always assumed it was the BB; always turned out to be something else.

Dude, you are golden. Find a nice frame set on sale, wheels on sale, group set on sale. You could have yourself a new bike and she would never have to know!!!
How in the world did you fit this in your marriage contract!

It actually hasn’t creaked since I replaced the BB, although last time I rode it, sounded like the duck might be coming back.
Its what my LbS calls it when ever they see it, Seemed appropriate.

(regardless) the dropouts are probably high-end forged (or investment class ?) and are probably fairly resistant to corrosion
you could visit your local hobby shop or similar and find a small bottle of paint that is close to that color ... ?

If you only care about rust, probably clear nail polish. IF you want a color match, try colored nail polish or touch-up paint.

when I hear or read 'spin to win' I immediately think of Lance Armstrong
he wasn't the first - but he was one of the earliest to use this technique to the fullest
saw him during his early years ... he was amazing
was especially disappointed when the doping allegations were proven true - he was an incredible athlete and I believe he could have ascended to the top of the sport without doping PED's etc

Mountains are only 90 mins away. Just havnt been able to coordinate with other riders when to go. The groups I ride with go a couple times a year, I am just always working when they go.
I would like to go once with someone who knows the area, and then I will start going up there by myself.
If I left my house at 430 am, I could be on the blue ridge parkway by 6-630 latest, ride for 3 hours and be home by 2 pm. Wife would be cool with this once in a while.

well- when we got married I was 38 and she was 40. We both had excellent jobs, she was in the C suite, and my money is my money and her money is her money. We can spend however we want so long as we maintain a minimum cash savings level in each of our respective savings accounts.

Testors Enamel, or nail polish. Apply ASAP before sweating all over it.
