Someone who wants to get banned should post a complete list. George Carlin had a list of seven words you couldn't say on TV, BF must have a list of 700 words we can't say here, plus the firearms ban, and maybe some other stuff I don't even know about yet.
It's annoying, and I'm sure there's SOME good reason for all of this, but I have never heard a very persuasive explanation.

Tires and tubes for the Domane before going to Texas for the Katy Flatland and Blazing Saddles. Other than that, just entry fees for organized rides and the associated fuel/chow/lodging. Oh, and one souvenir jersey from Katy 
I'm not counting the almost three week Texas road trip with my wife as bike expense (although she might). Great trip...Magnolia Market, Texas Ranger Museum, Museum of the War in the Pacific, Waco Mammoth digs, Dick's Classic Cars, etc etc...it's a whole 'another country!

I pedal in my sleep...
About the 'Black bib', I wasn't sure if Medium would be small enough since I'm at the very far edge between Small and Medium. They do say their fit is tight and after wearing it, I do agree with them! I can't imagine someone right between Medium and Large fitting in the Medium size.

The Black Bibs are an upcoming purchase for me and the medium/large debate is something I've definitely been considering. According to their chart, I'm on the upper third of a medium size, and they recommend buying the medium. I'm having reservations and your post might have confirmed those are warranted.

Today bought a bolt, nut and washers to unscrew the a supper stuck bottom bracket drive side cup using the Sheldon Brown trick - works great.
Ok, now the garbage I bought from eBay and not happy myself.
Bike Wheel Rim Nipple Spanner Spoke Wrench Steel
Totally garbage - the cut for each size is not parallel
I was going to redish the rear wheel, but no chance with this .....

After making do with cone wrenches and hex keys to remove pedals, I broke down and bought a legit pedal wrench, top of the line, the Park PW-5. My four sisters chipped in on a $100 gift certificate to my LBS for my b-day in June. I'm working my way through using it up.

Pearl Izumi shorts
My other shorts were a small, so I bought a small, but these are just a touch smaller. They will be by late season/aspirational shorts with a BMI waist band indicator.

Hey guys! I'm new to this forum but I hope to get some good advices.
Recently I've moved to Mawsynram, India. If you don't know this place is full of heavy rains. So I was forced to learn a lot of info about riding in wet weather. Thanks to bestadviser.net/how-to/how-to-keep-riding-in-wet-and-cold-conditions I've found all info that I need. I've got my new equip from Amazon and now it's much easier and safe to ride a bike during rainy days. But nevertheless I'm still wondering about reflectors for late night riding especially in wet weather. Does anyone have info about cool reflectors?

I always worry they will dull or damage the paint...but I do like this. Maybe I'll put some 3M clear bra on the top tube.
