not sure of the spoke type on your wheel but be carefully. Mine have no longer produced proprietary spokes that can become fused to the nipple and strip or break when adjustments are attempted.. they go for $15.00 apiece on the used market.

There's typically just shorthand for different combinations of fit: slim, straight, boot cut, relaxed, etc. If you're trying stuff on at a shop, you find the fit that you like and don't need to worry about the specifics. If you're buying online, though, you'll want to scan over the dimensions to ensure that you have the right size and the fit that you want, otherwise you're playing the shipping/exchange game.

I broke down last week and finally ordered some nice selvedge jeans. I was very particular about all of the garment dimensions to ensure that my splurge would fit exactly how I want them to.
The jeans arrived today and I was excited to try them on. They look great and measure out perfectly... but *my* dimensions seemed to have changed slightly since I measured them in mid-summer, so I have my marching orders.
I mean, they do fit, and they fit nicely, but there's no room for extra donuts at this point.

Silly WhyFi, there's no such thing as "extra" dohnuts.....

Waist, inseam, front and rear rise (crotch to front/rear), thigh width, knee width, bottom/opening width. I'm sure that, like me, you've run in to jeans that fit fine around the waist, but constrict the mighty guads - right size, wrong fit.

Pretty much sums it up for me. If I hadn’t cocked up the olives everything would be fine, but after new valve assemblies for the shifters etc, I should have just had velofix do it. I could have been riding outside this week.
He’s coming tonight to finish the job. The whole brake system will empty when the valves are replaced and I just don’t want to deal with it.

Denim can be a total rabbit hole, but there is some really cool stuff out there, if you want to play around with different weight, texture, interior/exterior color, fading characteristics, etc. I mean, what's not to love about this?

I realized last weekend just how much of a difference having a dedicated shop space is. I installed a set of R7000 shifters, cables & housing, and new bar tape on my bike last weekend in the living room. It's a simple & straightforward job that I've done a lot but I couldn't help how annoyed I felt the whole time.

Oh, no - I'm not going to go that route and don't know that I'll ever get too crazy about it. These are already washed, anyway. I'll just wash as needed (which certainly isn't after each wearing).

I think it’s possible that in a big field and a tight, dog-leggy, start like Syd–Hob, a very fast boat could capitalize on clean air and leg out to a significant early lead, which might matter in such a short race sailed under fast conditions. For the rest of us slobs in 7KSBs on longer races, it’s just ego and nerves.
