Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

LAJ I found out that the Assioma pedals only increase the Q about 0.5mm per side over my SPD-SL pedals. Now the question is to go one sided or two.

I didn't think it was even noticeable. The round part where the brains are actually fit under your shoe sole. Good to know I wasn't imagining that, and thanks for the info!

They're uniforms.

I wasn't aware there was so many things going on in the firing of a cannon.

The canyon has shear rock walls in places. I don't know why I was shrugging.

Here is BF member TJ knight with his hands in the air.

They WERE uniforms, when there was an Army of the Potomac and an Army of Northern Virginia. Now? They're costumes.

Crabon frame + post. How do they "fuse"?
my mistake, was thinking aluminum post in carbon frame, they fuse the same as aluminum, from corrosion. Although the carbon makes a better battery.

Also. No handlebars were wrapped last night due 2000 ft of simulated climbing. Tonight I shall endeavor to persevere and complete that task.
I would also like to set up the wheels I built. I am thinking of mounting a set of ultra sport III"s. To start.
