Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For the Aurora, a rear blinkie and a MIRRYCLE ROAD MIRROR, I really like the mirror. Great design, perfect positioning, no shaking...

Awesome!

I ordered it, still waiting for it's arrival... the scratch just hasn't been cutting it - the swallow is next if the regal doesn't cut it as well.... THEN, I sell everything cycling related and spend the $ on beer

my shifter when bad so i picked up another 9 speed ultegra shifter:


i the old one lasted a bit over 4,000 miles and i did not have the cash to upgrade to 10 speed (plus the lbs gave me a great deal on it).

I picked up GUTR headband.



https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...archTerm=gutr*

So far it works really well, very easy to clean. I already have a Halo headband but like others have said it soaks up sweat and takes a while to wash/dry. This GUTR washes very fast and dries quickly.

Haven't had a mtb since I sold my Turner XCE 3 years ago.

Today, I bought a singlespeed. Steel. Rigid. 29er.

Hopefully this is a bit better than my 10 year old Shimano RSX group:



I really hope I don't regret downgrading to 20 speeds from 21.

If you decide to go back, I'd be glad to take that 09 Rival off your hands.

Some arm warmers, skull cap, and a couple of GU gels and a packet of GU chomps to try. (Note: it is winter here in Australia, thus the arm warmers and skull cap)
