Excellent. IMHO one can never have too easy of a gear.

Picked up a SRAM Rival XPLR 10-44 cassette for the second wheelset for my CheckPoint which will have road tires and it is worth it to me versus moving the cassette back and forth. Found a pretty good deal from a source that picked up bunch of these from a bike builder that went out of business so saved about $50.

A white SMP Avant saddle (365g, 154mm wide) to replace my white SMP Well saddle (295g) which is too narrow (144mm) and hard. For me, the main feature, the crotch cradle (the center hole), needs to be larger. Should arrive this week. The Well will be up for sale. I like the white color, though!

Picked up a setup P Zero Race (tubed) 28's for my Emonda for $43 a tire replacing the existing P Zero Race TLR's, thank you LordGun. Decided to move this bike back to tubes. I noticed when I was updating the database, that the old tires have been on the bike since Sept 2021. I got good milage out of them and no flats.

A bunch of gels. At a local community MTB event recently (SDMBA Archipelago ride), they had $20 vouchers for the local Trek store at the mid point aid stop. When I went in, they happened to have some sort of sale on nutrition and they were nearly a buck a piece. Sweet.

Finally got a power meter for the checkpoint. Settled on a 4iii and a new grx crankset. Current gearing 46/30 and I chose to go with 48/31. Wife approved the P2m aluha crankset but I just couldn’t justify the difference in cost. This way I can pick up 2 more cranksets used and swap as needed depending on the situation.
Crank arm length is 170 with this purchase for both the PM and Crankset. 172.5 are sold out everywhere. My bikes currently run 172.5 or 175. 175 usually leads to knee pain, so I am interested in how the 170 will feel.

Nice. I keep swapping my Favero pedals between the Checkpoint and Madone. Think I need a second set

I was doing that with my garmin pedals. That’s the point of pedals right? Had two different mechanics advise me to stop doing that, I was wearing out the threads. I was swapping weekly to my hearts content.

I got reflective trouser bands for commuting and a spiffy cycling cap. I lost the cap almost immediately on a city bus.

I picked up some of the Reserve Fillmore Tubeless valves and the orange caps kit and because I could leave things there, I picked up some Wolf Tooth orange center lock rotor lockrings.
Edit: Oh what they hell, I also picked up in Orange fork spacers, top cap, and seat post clamp.
