Probably not for him. According to Forbes. his base salary in 2019 was $20 million. His contract is worth a total of $134 million. $9 million in endorsements. He also owns a minority share in the Milwaukee Bucks and launched a $50 million venture and growth stage fund with Roth Capital. He is one of three general partners.

We were passed quite gradually by about 40 guys in matching sponsored get-up yesterday and not a one said anything. Some people are just too elite to live.

A while back on a ride with my FIL and his riding buddy, we were passed by one of the local tough guy groups rides. I didn't mind so much except for the fact that they were super inconsiderate to the point that they almost pushed me off the side of the road.

Yeah, they'll try that here too and pass you on the right, "yelling hold your line" like everyone on the road is in some goddamn criterium.

Honestly, I just kind of threw that out there after success with the hub/wheel I just got. For the Domane, I kind of don't want to mess with the crank situation because I feel like the left side PM would most likely not clear, but maybe it would. But in general, I would like a pedal based PM just to be able to swap easily to a new/different bike down the line. After a quick google, the Garmin pedals might be a better route and I can probably swing a deal on them at the bike shop I used to work at. Either way, that is likely a purchase to be made later on in the spring/summer if even that early.

Hold your line. So, in other words, it was a line of Cat 4 and 5 "racers" on their team group ride, which they labelled an "A" Ride.

Call them. Let them know what you want, get in on the pre order deal to save $100 bucks, and you won't be sorry.
I also recommend Reynolds anything, but I can't be sure on the weight savings.

The wheels I'd recommend are higher quality, but not a ton lighter. Do you care about weight more, or a modern, wide rim bed and tubeless-ready if you're into that? There's a world of difference between 1700g Ksyriums and 1700g Hed Jets or 1600g Aeolus Pro 5 TLRs. There are lighter options if you're after that, too.

Ah... yeah, unless you want to go aero or a full WW wheelset I wouldn't bother upgrading those. The only "flaw" in the GPs is round, unbutted spokes. I'm all about replacing stock RS10s, Mavics, Fulcrum Racing 7s, or the like, but wouldn't bother with yours. There must be something else you have the itch for, though.

Frankly, nothing's worked as simply as our fleet of DZeros, but if you want pedals I'd strongly recommend the Garmins or the Faveros or anything but the Powertaps, honestly.

We don't cancel fat bike races for lack of snow around here. They just become mountain bike races with extra wide tires and fewer obstacles.

Power meter? Nah. I already know the bad news.
It'll all get eaten up in the frenzy of spring boat spending, anyway.
