It matters to me, I swap cogs twice a week and getting the cog off is always the most annoying part of the process. I'm excited about the cog carrier...

I never got an email, but the charge went through. When I contacted them to ask about it, I was told i did receive one (gmail doesn't think so) and that I should check with my post office. I think it will show up today, just a hunch if it was shipped or picked up on the 13th- (man the USPS tracking system is such a joke). Can't wait for it to get here!

Well now it is a battle between Nashbar and Ligero wheels to see who is going to be the slowest. Nashbar has shipped my order (did so on Thursday) but they tell the USPS to ship it the other way around the planet or something...my orders always take forever to get here when UPS ground would have been a day.
Ligero is another story...I hear Troy builds a good wheel and we shal find out...but he has had some personal issues this year and he isn't communicating with his customers very well because of it IMO...still waiting on a wheel build for my Merckx and 2 rims for the IRO from him...we are in week 8 of that saga.
Can't wait to get this bike together and get it on the road.

But on the FG front, Nashbar got me my stem, and bars yesterday...my IRO frame is at the LBS and I will pick it up today...it was getting preped (faced HT and BB, chased BB, aligned frame) and the headset pressed and I will pick it up today...only thing left will be the wheels which I am waiting for the rims for.

) the only parts I have for the IRO are F+F, saddle, and front brake. My LBS is ready for me to bring the frameset(+12 pack) for prep work and headset installation, and the build should be almost done later tonight.
I wish I had a couple of old tubular rims to get the tires pre-stretched
.What works well for removing old tubular glue?
