Dammit.
I emailed them a couple days ago asking if there was a way for me to purchase some from them, in hopes that they'd hook me up.
And they replied telling me I could buy them from coghouse on ebay.
I still like them a lot though, they've been nothing but helpful the previous two times I emailed them needing help.

The world is a much better place since Leader discontinued the 727tr, whatever other changes they may have made.

Plus, I got some major HTFU points (shut up @Huffandstuff !). It reminded me of my college days when I would rain ride regularly.
Today we got a Mercedes sls amg brabus in at work, I want it so bad. 6.3l super charged v8 700hp, sounds so mean.

Riding in the rain can be fun if it's warm, like over 65F. I realize that is rarely the case in the PNW.
I won't ride in the rain below 45 or so, that takes some real HTFU points.

Today I snapped the chain on the dmr and went out for Portuguse BBQ.
Picanha with spanish rice and grilled plantains.

You do realise, don't you, that running those tiny chainrings puts tremendous stress on a chain ?

Today I got some new tights. Hopefully thus ensuring warm, sunny weather.

Today I replaced the bottom bracket on the Surly. External shimano the bb that came with the 105 cranks was so shot that the crank rocked back and forth, which likely explained the clicking. Hadn't had to remove the wheel until today when I got rid of the dingle setup, wound up deciding on 46x18 for the gearing. Oh and 30 miles.

Cleaned the filthiest RD I've ever seen. I had to scrape about 20 years of collected grime and gunk off the jockey wheels with a metal pick. Looks nice now though.
