Yup, both of the new 303 wheelsets, the 303S and the Firecrest, are hookless rims that are tubeless tires only. Again, you could run the tubeless tires with tubes, but that's just silly.

I get that too. Most unpleasant. Depends on the jersey. Skin lube helps a lot, but make sure it's water soluble or it'll ruin your shirt. Might ruin fancy tech fabrics anyway.

I was hoping to do 30 this morning. I took it nice and easy and I still had to stop at 23. Tomorrow’s my last shot before so go back to work, but they are calling for rain.

I never get chafing from riding. Swimming and running, sure, but riding?
What exactly is chafing?

I’m also a relatively slow descender. Blood thinners and crashing don’t mix well. In 2016 I let myself get up to about 42 mph on a long mountain descent. Fully-loaded bike. Wide road with a good surface, no traffic and great sight lines. I was impressed with myself. I usually won’t go over 35.

For example, finding a creative way to say the F word will get you in trouble....but an anthropology discussion about **** sapiens is probably ok. H omo sapiens.

As in titmouse. Still can't say ****** though. I would like a five year old level explanation for that. Especially now that we have the link.

I rode the crit bike today. Haven't ridden it in months and months. And haven't ridden at all in months. It felt slightly twitchy, as in I couldn't take my eyes off the road at all. I don't remember having that problem in the past, once I got the headset adjusted properly.
Sure is a nice ride though, otherwise
