It's a surprise. There is a contest to guess the color: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...-SPD-SL-pedals

Got my Sanction Rucksack from Mission Workshop... great quality, but here's the thing. It can't fit a 2 inch binder. And, of course, it's really only about 4 inches wide - when they measured they counted the outside pocket. It's for school, and with it being able to hold like 3 books (not counting binders, notebooks, etc.) that just doesn't cut it.

Probably returning it.

Today I:
-Realized that bikers on a bike path without lights pose quite a nasty hazard. As do runners, or really anything without a light.
-Realized that those Blackburn Flea lights are quite bright on their own... Definitely love the USB charge, Solar panel option, tiny easy to mount lights!
-Averaged about 15mph to 18mph riding home, but realized that without a backlight, I can't see my computer. At least it still keeps track of distance.
-Tried out the Deda Newton bars on the 725. a 55cm Leader is just one size too big for me, the stretch to the hoods is just too far (90mm stem), and I adjusted the seat for the risers, and forgot to grab the wrench to adjust it again...13 miles like that can get quite uncomfortable.

I've seen one in person, and they really are quite small. I love MW though--if you can, get the next size up: a Rambler. The real MW is in the big bags.

Today is my birthday. Also, school.

Try a 70mm. Leaders are designed to be used with a short stem and when I first built my 725, I had a 90mm and my bullhorns were useless unless I was out of the saddle. Switched to a 70 and it made a world of difference.

Lilcphoto 08-24-11 07:58 AM

I was mistaken... I already have a 70mm on there... argg

Scrodzilla 08-24-11 08:03 AM

Ohhhhh. Yup, you're screwed.

hamfoh 08-24-11 08:05 AM

bmx stem time!

Scrodzilla 08-24-11 08:06 AM

You wouldn't be the first one to put a BMX stem on a 725TR. :lol:

Lilcphoto 08-24-11 08:36 AM

well, I still have hope Leader will remake their purple... Or maybe I'll just try and find a good deal on a 53 when I find some extra funds.

Today I walked from the World Trade Center to Bike Works to pick up some grey handlebar tape on my lunch break. Total Distance 3.8 miles in less than an hour.

That google maps link is way off dude, it shows you going cross county from san diego to NYC.... maybe if you added "memorial" to the google search prompt
