I don't care and I already did. Rim≠wheelset; there are many more variables to consider between the two.

Today I bought a frame... some piece of shiz cranks were on it... they have some sort of funny symbol on the back side. Not sure if I should just toss them, or try and trade them for something else...
/sarcasm, but seriously...if someone wants to trade for some om-nom-nom's pm me

Low BB + 170s = skipping and sketchy, yet smaller turning radius/not falling.

Today there was a crazy headwind along the lake on my ride in this morning. I realize that as a cyclist I have it easy here in Chicago, what with the lack of any sort of hills. But I'd take a hill over 35+ minutes of relentless headwind any day. At least a hill has the other side... often by the time I get out of work 9 hours later and go home, what should be a tailwind has died down or shifted direction.

Today I sorta bit it on my ride. Not really any harm to me, and not tooooo much to the bike. Just feel sorta lucky right now.

CX! CX! CX! I am going to try to learn the CX dismount/remount this weekend and see where it goes from there. I already have the right kind of bike; I just need to HTFU and do it.

Also, the CX mount and dismount is pretty smooth. It's a really neat thing for urban riders to know as well. It definitely feels better to 'come in hot' and take off with a little boost.

Today I overhauled my paddywagon commuter's drivetrain; well deserved after the 12 consecutive fixed metric centuries. Repacked the DA 7600 hubs. Also swapped back over a modest 46T zen messenger chainring from the 49T zen I had on it earlier. My omniums had a considerable layer of grime on the back of them.

Retired the old winter bike (the U.A.V.) from that kind of abuse as it really just too nice a ride.

Today I started packing for going back to college. While I was packing up all my old tony hawk games I wondered something. Why has nobody made a fixed gear video game? They had skating, snowboarding, downhill mtb, and even razor scooter games for crying out loud. I want combo points for mad skidz and reputation multiplier for riding brakeless!!

today a HED3 finally popped up for sale in Houston (tubular has popped up before, first clincher I've seen)
here's what I got back though

Yes. It's slightly untrue and has a crack tho. It's not monocoque tho so the outside layer of the carbon isn't holding the actual structure. 125 bucks for a flashy wheel
