Still kicking.
Should I go out and try to destroy the rear wheel before setting up the new rear wheel, or keep it as a spare?

Used Dura Ace PD-7810 pedals for $65 with cleats? Seems like a good deal to me but what do you guys think?

Never used Eggbeaters, but after so much time on ATACs I can't imagine using a pedal with no platform would be fun.

Zero setback post, or no? I think it's going to be on the extremes of both ends of the spectrum.

Is the seat where it needs to be?
If yes, then you do not need. If no, then you need.
