Those are valve extenders? Never seen ones that just press on.. I can't tell what the last thing is -- basket of some sort or wall hanger?

Alright, after first impressions on a quick 20 mile ride, here are my thoughts:
the Clement Strada LGG 25mm tires are pretty great value for the price point.
not the most supple tire at 95 psi. definitely not as cushy as 25mm gp4000s- but felt grippier.
Maybe that's because i had a few seasons worth of rides on my old GPs, and new tires were necessary.
it almost looks like i could fit 28mm tires on, which i think would measure out to a true 25mm tyre, as these seem to run small/skinny. you can definitely feel what kind of road surface you're on.
i think they also made my r5 a bit less greyscale- which is nice also.
They'll work for me for the next 2.5 months of riding.
anyways.. here ya go, @Mumonkan

Got the Enve bottle cage and ordered the Enve forks. Then, the Langster will be done until spring brings new tires.

Christmas in September. I also got the shoes for 65% off retail because they were previously used, and had the tiniest scratches on the toe.

Another PDW 3wrencho for the wife, a PDW Shiny Object for me, and the Crane Suzu bell in copper I should have bought in the first place (I do love my brass bell, but the copper looks so good!).
The collection grows:

PDW and Crane bell make some great stuff. The painted bells are my favorite. A friend of mine figured out a way to get one mounted to a front stem bolt on his commuter cross bike. I am hoping to get him to get me one of those set ups!

I agree. The Shiny Object is so much nicer than the Planet Bike Red Zeppelin. I love pretty much everything PDW makes except for their lights. I haven't found anything I like more than the Light and Motion urban series. Just bought another 350, also for the wife.

I bought some DeFeet LeMondster socks right after RAGBRAI and haven't worn them yet because I've been riding so much dirt/gravel and don't want to ruin them.

I have the Aether Demon on my touring bike and then a Vis 180 that goes from bike to bike to bike and I do much prefer the Vis 180 aside from the way I would mount it on my rack, the Aether Demon wins out in that case.
