So, what is a good ratio for earthquakes? I know that I need tuff wheels (thinking 48 spoke H+Son instead of Arrospok or HED). My kilo tt (stripper) is stock except for my fizik saddle, oury's and rizer bar (no brakes), but with the H+Son wheels, what chainring and cog should I get? Also, are oury's good for earthquakes? Any help is appreciated.

Also any other brakeless earthquake riders?

Ourys are awesome for earfquakez. Fizik saddles not so much. You need a Brooks or at least a vintage Turbo.

Seems to be an awful lot of napping going on for a Tuesday afternoon?

There is no wrong time for nap. Although it kinda feels like I missed the party, I mean what will I talk about for the next 2 weeks on FB and campus.....

Earthquakes are so mainstream these days, I liked them back when they were underground.
