Issimo computer mount. Finally going to have a place to mount my computer on the aerobars instead of the handlebars.

Picked up my Dura Ace crankset today, & my Ksyrium Elites on Friday!!!
My build is getting close to completion!!!
Have my 3T ARX Team Stem: 120mm, & 3T Pro Rotundo Bar: 44em on order.
Just have to pick up my chain, & schedule some shop time to dial everything in.
Can't wait to finally be part of the "41rs", getting tired of faking it with my cyclocross.

I got myself an Ortlieb ultimate 5m plus frontbag. My first bikebag. 
Normally I would wear a daypack for commuting, but for summer and daytrips with good weather a small frontbag is enough.
Next up: A back-roller plus for commuting and groceries when I move abroad.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
There are some items that get a "Cool, how can I get one?" response, but derailleur hangers are one of the ones that make people go, "Oh that sucks, man, hope it wasn't as bad as I suspect..."

Yeah, I couldn't figure out why it kept pinging against the spokes. At first I thought it was a cable issue, but when I got home I could see a slight deformation in the metal. Luckily it's only $15. Much cheaper than a new RD or a wheel rebuild.
I'm annoyed too that, as near as I can tell, I bent it from stupid carelessness when I knocked the bike over trying to load it into the car.

Ah, it was bent enough to distort it? Yeah, that sucks, but like you said, at least it's not bad enough to ruin everything else. I encountered a woman one time who was walking her bike, back wheel off the ground, across the bridge to Virginia. Her RD had gotten caught in the spokes on a downhill, locked up the wheel, and burned all the way through the tire and tube. She lucked out and wasn't hurt, but was obviously annoyed about having just gotten the bike adjusted at a shop.

what does this "crack pipe" do?
Is it a valve adapter thing for your disc?

Pre-order March, received April 29th. The 58's in tubulars were only available as pre-order. I also just ordered a stock pair of FSW23's to replace my A23 powertap set I sold.
