had trouble sleeping last nite over this 
should i buy a shamal road wheelset for $450?
had a deal to pick them up this weekend by trading but the guy called me yesterday & now he has to have cash & that is his bottom line. i plan to change the rear hub to something for riding fixed & the difficulties involved in that are well-documented. as a trade, clearing out stuff i don't use anyway, i was happy with the deal. but considering the time & expense involved in acquiring a 16h track hub for the conversion - now that it means handing over money, i wonder if it is really worth it?

Alright I cleaned the discussion regarding profanity and it's use in modern times contrasted to the past.
Let's get back to cycling related discussion.

Anyhow, you might want to give the size chart a double glance, considering the lululemon team is an all sqrl team, that helmet might only be made in sqrl size ranges. Size up.

If the weather is good outside, why not?

They haven't caught on for men in the US yet. I see dudes in Toronto wearing their running stuff constantly.

They have men's clothing. Most comfortable stuff I've ever worn (I have a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie). My wife bought them for me after constantly ragging on her about her pants.

They seem to be the same price from the specialized website: $250. I haven't really looked at other sites to see if the prevail team helmets are cheaper. It I a stupid amount f money fr a helmet to me though... I just really like the looks if it.

I like specialized helmets and I like the design of that particular one, after checking out their website, they seem to be a yoga oriented clothing brand in which I don't have a problem with.

Weather was good, but my shoulder prevented anything really worthy of being filmed.

• always late to work, abusing their salary
• everything they touch turns to ****
• screws everyone over every time theyre involved with decision making
• does everyones schedule wrong every week
• left their keys in the gate today for anyone to steal
ive restrained from doing this for over a year now since im a firm believer of karma but ffs something needs to change. Morale around here is rapidly declining
