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

Must work only on North American bikes. Keep this quiet though, as Specialized might sue.

My Bontrager pump works on my Cervelo, Trek, Redline, and Schwinns. I once had to pump up a tire on my F150 with it once too. That sucked.

After losing most of the tread off my cheap mail-order rear tire, I hit Ye Locale Bike Shoppe and picked up some new rubber-on-the-road:



One of the kids has had these tires on her road bike for a year or two now and loves 'em. Kevlar belts and kevlar beads, sturdy and lightweight. WIN!

New helmet.. It's a Scattante Scorpione. Best helmet in my price range, and only weighs 255g. I took advantage of Performance's 30% points weekend sale. I got about $15 back on it.

More Assos chamois cream and two pairs of Castelli Body Paint bin shorts - my cycling wardrobe addition allocation for the summer riding season here in Thailand. Last week was two short sleeve jerseys. I try to keep a one-to-one match. What do others do?

Grats on your new bike!! I fondled a Felt my shop here and nearly bought one but opted for a Specialized Secteur. I ordered it on Saturday but I won't get it for a week or so.

Also I ordered some stuff to pretty up my old Motobecane. A new saddle, bar tape and new down tube shifters.

Replaced my Tektro R580 brakes (with salmon pads) on my CAAD 10 5 with a pair of Ultegra brakes. The difference is far above what I was hoping for.

Also bough a new pair of mich tires... found tears in the original tires.
