On the Planet Bike site there is an upgrade you can purchase that lets the light use less watts so it last longer and has a flash mode...
And if you take advantage of their 15% off coupon they have on the front page right now you can get it for $77. And with ground shipping it still comes out to only $92.37, or with the 2-day shipping it's still only $96.66 (which i recommend over ground shipping since it's faster, trackable, and generally more reliable for cross country shipping).

I was seriously considering buying another one but i don't think i have room on my commuter bike for another battery pack. That bike is already heavy enough as it is (26-27 lbs i think).

I was thinking more along the lines of stashing Clif bars and Gu packets in there. If only it had a zipper.

Come to think of it, it would be convenient if all bibshorts had a zipper.

Ah, this is so hard to decode. Judging from Dizzy's reply, I guess it has to do with zipper accidents?

Got a new jersey from SierraTradingPost. It said the fabric is Meryl, so I thought it has some UV protection. For some reason, it's so easy to find girl jersey's with UV protection but not for guys.

I don't really know what he was trying to say either I just figure the answer was either velcro, ducktape or bubble gum. Being that we were talking about zippers, velcro won.

Just ordered new chains, and arm warmers from PerformanceBike. 20% off today only with free shipping.

Don't know how my current ultegra chain got rusted though. I think I didn't dry the cassette properly when I washed it last time, and the water caught onto the chains.

Just purchased it with a pair of sox. I got 20% off which brought the price down under 75$. If over 75$ shipping was free. So I got sox....

I have my DA 11-27, but may give the Sram 11-26 a shot... after hearing a great review about it from a fellow club member who just returned from a stage race in Norway.
And yes, I have been doing a lot more climbing as of late

I thought a couple of the pink fans might be interested in the new Foska.com jersey. The pound conversion isn't so hot these days, so it's a bit pricey.
