I removed the ripped leather and foam covering from my Selle SMP Evolution saddle

So that it is just the plastic remaining

and it works fine. I did not like the shape of the Dynamic saddle that I bought to replace it.

i updated the Sidi-fied heels of my shoes and tried putting some liquid plastic on the cleats

But the stuff I bought was so hard that it made walking on flooring like ice skating so I tried some rubber pads instead using the carbon epoxy that I used to mend the toe of my left hand shoe.

The carbon is from a Carbonology repair kit as before. The rubber pads soon came off. I have some Chinese shoo goo on order.

I while back I put a spare rear light on one of my bikes.

I also changed the bottom bracket on my other bike but failed to prevent the creak coming from that area. I don't think it is the pedals or the chainrings (which do creak if those star shaped nuts get loose) so I am not sure what the cause of the creak could be.

I got cheap chain checker but it says my chain is not yet worn even though it is slipping.

I also raised my saddle even more than abnormal since I damaged my thigh in karate.
