I bit the bullet and bought a new groupset for the Habanero for next year. I chose Ultegra R8000 as it has a good proven track record and the cable activated shifters and brakes should be simple and easy for me to install. 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?

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.

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.

My latest amusement has been riding to increments of ALMOST a whole number, like 59.9 miles, and deliberately stopping my computer so I can show my wife the ride and infuriate her. Good times.

Y'all want to know why I feel #bahhumbug all the time? 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.
Saw another grocery cart parking garage leave-behind a couple of weekends ago. The cart corral was literally about 15' away.
I wants my cabin in rural Montana. Thing is, prices have gone through the roof since the pandemic. This place sold for around $158K in 2918. Asking price today is $550K. Even if the renovations were after the last sale, that's still insane.

Very impressed with the shipping speed of a package from Lordgun (Italy) - shipped Friday, delivered today. Got me some skinwall Pirelli P-Zero TLs for my Storck. I'm hoping I get the opportunity to mount them tonight.

nah, they still waller, (technical term) around in the cup and cause noises. I had aIToken on my '16 Tarmac and it made the same noises it's making now ...tick...tick tick...tick. Argh! Maddening. As a matter of fact the drive side bearing had fretted the cup of the insert to the point it fell out on disassembly. I glued it back in but the decided to use the brand new Dub bb I had instead. No change.
