I went with 34/50 chainrings and would have preferred 12-28 cassette but not an option so got 11-28. Plan is to strip Habanero completely down after the holiday season and do the build over the winter. Really the only item I am unsure about is the headset. It’s a standard Cane Creek and 12 years old, never serviced but still smooth as butter. I don’t know whether to just leave it alone or ask LBS to replace bearings. Thoughts?

I know right.

Have to make sure the next bike is not a BB90……

this sums up exactly how I feel. It’s so strong of a feeling, that I almost feel crippled by how much I care about my surroundings. Meanwhile 90 percent of the people today seem to only be interested in themselves.

People who get on a moving walkway at an airport and stand on it like it’s an amusement ride. Because they have a three hour lay over everyone else in the airport must have one too.

Cane Creek is live forever stuff.

If you have the normal spacer that comes with a Shimano cassette, which very well be a .6mm, then that's not the 10/11 speed one. That one is 1.8mm. If you don't have that, you have a 10 speed body.

Question that came up in discussion recently - if you ride two 50 mile segments in one day (midnight to midnight, but they were broken up by a meal or two is that a century? Or, does it have to be a fairly continuous ride with breaks of shorter intervals.

No, it won’t. But, is there anything that will at your age?

Some people can ride 98 miles and claim they rode a century. Some can put on a century ride that's only 98 miles long.
I would say if you didn't change clothes, it's a century.

I live my life trying to be as considerate as possible of everyone around me, and somehow am frequently surrounded by people who care about nothing and no one but themselves. Whether that's pushing their music on everyone, hogging the path, drafting without asking, weaving around, stopping in the middle of the grocery store aisle, or the thousand and million other things people do all the time without thinking about it. And this is why I want my moat.

won't matter unless you can get a threaded b.b. most new bb are press fit of some kind. They all have one thing in common. They all suck. Bb30, of 30, bb86 , bb90. Bb Dub of my ass. Garbage!
Threaded b.b. with bearing cups are still problematic at times but by far the best for those of us without personal mechanics.

What about the 'thread-together' sort, where the cups thread into each other rather than depending on press fit working?
