I bought a whole box of them on closeout a couple decades ago. I still have a couple NOS ones left, but I decided to put Jan Heine's claim to the test: that wider tires at lower pressure have no more rolling resistance than narrow tires at high pressure. So far the biggest difference I have noticed is that my hands don't go numb as quickly.

Imagine if the entire USA population lost all power. Then double it.

That's what happened yesterday in India.

I may be losing track of my days.

I think there was a large, but smaller one a few days ago.

Yeah you're right there was.
And with the time change, you're kinda right the "tuesday" one was actually quite awhile ago by our clocks.

Heh, sometimes.
They have power outages all the time there, just not on that scale usually.

Today I finally rode a full Strava segment on my way home. Had to go out of my way a bit to get to the start, instead of hopping on halfway through. Ended up getting a trophy for 4th on my first try. Oh snap.

That's the issue. People here seem to love antagonizing you for whatever reason. If you just laugh it off, they'll stop.

Did you at least throw your bike in the back so you fit in? I'm going to try to make it out to that, but I have a ton of **** going on today, so it isn't very likely.

Cancer? That's kinda harsh, man. Besides, most of the posts I see from you are just you being a dick to others. Chill out.

other people i know with their "phone insurance" from various providers are all but worthless since they make you pay something anyway.

I have whatever Verizon's best one is, and I go through two phones a year for no charge.

Kind of want.

http://www.performancebike.com/bikes..._1115643_-1___

Definitely want.

Today I have a ton of running around to do. Let's see how many miles I get in.

EDIT: There will be at least thirty, because my NEW ****ING JOB is fifteen miles from home. I got the gig at Performance. I'm going up there to do paperwork now. ****in' A.

i rode my new godzilla/dura ace cranks down to squaw valley and back. great ride, everything felt awesome, just wish i didn't have to dodge so many people on the bike path. still probably safer than dealing with the gapers on the roads though.

can't wait to finish the build with the wheel set/saddle combo.

So, the builder I'm replacing built an average of one bike every hour and a half. My first build took an hour start to finish. Not bad at all. After 60 days, I start getting mad discounts. Rad. Now to go home and sleep cuz I have to be up early.

Are these builds from the ground up or do they come semi-assembled like BD bikes?
