When I get to jump out of a helicopter or C-17, I think, "They pay me for this?".
When I'm starving to death on 2400 calories a day, getting rained on in 40 degree weather, slogging up and down mountains, with 70lbs on my back and getting less than 2hrs of sleep a night, I think "They don't pay me nearly enough."
Makes riding my bike easy, in comparison.

Love the microSHIFT. I have 2 seasons and a few thousand miles on them. People laugh at my DA derailleurs and Nashbar shifters, but they work fine. I won't say they are on par with other offerings, but they were super cheap and came in lighter than DA780 shifters. My new bike currently under construction will have a full gruppo. I posted a review on their stuff a few years back, probably still in the search.
Cheers
Rob

after some riding around the neighborhood, i have to concur, it works very well with crisp shifting.

DOK!!!
Glad to see you back. Thank you for your service and glad to hear that you're doing well.
Looking forward to seeing you kick ass again. I still remember your post on how you started doing leg presses and scared the crap outta the football players there.

I thought it was a fast-trac pass to zoom through the toll roads during training runs. : )

On a 250m it's pretty tough to check out the numbers but in any case, the good ole UCI says you can't have a computer that's visible for the rider in a track event. NAt's enforces this rule as does worlds so I had to figure out a spot to mount the head unit; this was the cleanest aerodynamically and mechanically.
