I was going to build up a cheap rear wheel just for the trainer/rollers so I didn't have to swap tires/cassettes. Excel Sports was selling a new set of Reynolds Alta Comps for $160. Now I'm going to mount some Conti Hometrainer tires on them and save my good tires for outside...plus I have a spare set for the road to boot.

Sorry. 12-27 is my magic climbing cassette...
I just took delivery of a bathroom weight scale from Nashbar. Fancy looking glass one for $30. Cheaper stuff aren't always a bargain, since it's totally inaccurate and over-estimated my weight by 15 lbs (I wish)! Time to cut down on In-n-Out.

Silliest purchase ever. $15 for a titanium recessed brake nut.
I needed a longer nut to mount my brakes to a carbon fork - and this was all the LBS had. 
I wasn't willing to go driving around to find a steel one.Who would go out of their way to buy stupid %$@# like this? How much weight could it possibly save? 1 gram?

D'Oh! I forgot about the coupons.
I like STP a lot, I get a lot of my running gear and base layer stuff there. I've been hit-or-miss with the cycling stuff, though. I'm pleasantly surprised they're offering brands like Campagnolo and Etxe Ondo now.

Pretty good, I'm along the lines of " well. i think I bought it a year, no maybe year and a half ago".
Oh, and my new Oakley Mtb shorts arrived from Steap and Cheap..
Probably the best $20 shorts I've ever purchased!!

Campagnolo jersey for chillier mornings.
Half price at Sierra Trading Post. (Nice guy jerseys on sale, too, if you're interested. Lots of Exte Ondo at 50% off, good stuff)
