The "go to quoted post" link doesn't work for me on the above, but only when the page first loads from the main 41 page or when clicking on the page number navigation. If I'm already on page 86 and force a reload, the link then does work.

I had an incredible stroke of good fortune when I was informed,by the local bike shop, that they also sell spokes for 28" wheels, and not just 26". I came home with a handful of 286/7mm and set to work, but still had long spokes. What to do but measure them? Turns out that of all those 290mm spokes, only 6 of them were 290mm. The rest? 295 and 300.

Our shop is a Fuji dealer. One of our junior racers is on a Fuji Supreme and loves it. I have a Fuji Cross that has been a great CX racer/gravel bike. A few of the local fast CX racers are on Fujis.

Fake mile up the Ventoux on Rouvy this morning. Not venturing out until I no longer have a Superfund site in my sinuses.
I may also be slightly fibbing about my weight on Rouvy to make their love of inside climbing workable.

That Panny looks a lot like it should be ridden by someone from AG's alma mater.
As for Fuji, it's the name of a mountain, so multiple companies named for it would be like multiple companies named for the Rockies here, and of course we have countless of those.

But I don't have 290; I need 290. But thanks for the tip about different crossings to adjust spoke length. I've begun considering a spoke threading tool.

I ate something, last evening, which didn't agree with me. I passed the night in pain and wishing mightily that I could throw up. This morning, after evacuating from the other end, it finally came. Do I feel any better? Marginally. I can't even enjoy my coffee, though, if I can get it down, it will help, I think.
Any good games on this afternoon?

There is a good chance we may want an extra car for a few months this summer. I googled the usual suspects for monthly car rentals and they want a ridiculous amount. Anyone know a line on reasonably priced monthly car rentals? It can be an old crappy car, would be for one of my daughters.

Also, even after clearing whatever disagreed with you, you are likely still quite inflamed on the inside.

I think that saddle is the same as the one that came on my old Schwinn.
