Any thoughts on the Conti Grand prix 4 season tires? Can’t find a good deal on GP5000 so I’m considering these for the ritchey.

My burning question of the day, at least in my mind, is whether my R7000 11-speed cassette will fit on the hub that my Sora 9-speed cassette occupies.
I find answers both ways, and I know that the best way to know is to take off the Sora cassette and try the other, and I'm working towards that.

I could actually try to do this in about an hour if you want me too. I have the hub and a 11 spd cassette readily available.

I've heard of some folks machining down their HG freehub bodies a bit to allow an 11sp road cassette to go on.

I wish I could get a N3W freehub for the Neo 2T. But I don't really need it, so maybe it's just as well.

I never posted this before because I avoid A&S stories like the plague. But, I was hit a few weeks ago while riding on a local 55 mph county highway with a 6' paved shoulder. According to a witness, I was so far tho the right of the paved shoulder that I was barely on the pavement. The mirror of a pickup hit my left shoulder blade and catapulted me into the ditch. The driver didn't stop and the witness couldn't get the plate number.
Anyway, bike is fine and I'm ok except that I have a slight pain in my left shoulder where I was hit when I get tired like over 40 miles.
Be safe out there.

It depends, but one annoying thing about aging is it takes longer to heal. I would hope you are 90% healed by now, but the last 10% may take another month or two.

That's pretty much what I figured. It doesn't really bother me until I think about it or get really tired.

This was on the Northeast Extension, up near Wilkes-Barre. Traffic's usually pretty light.

Don't worry, the Campy stuff remains on the Allez. And I have most of a 10 speed Veloce group in inventory.

We did that a lot, a few years ago, for racers that didn't want to abandon their 10 speed wheels.

A few seconds later, I realized the sound was remarkably consistent
A few seconds after that, I noticed that I was seeing sparks behind my car.
So as soon as I exited the tunnel, I pulled over onto the shoulder. Rear exhaust hanger was busted. But this being an MG, I travelled with an assortment of stuff. I jury-rigged two hose clamps into a new exhaust hanger and I was on my way again.
And this being an MG, I left it that way for some time.
That was the second best jury-rig I ever did on that car. The first being the one I did when the throttle cable broke, and I used a Hoffman tubing clamp to hold the ends together long enough to get home.
Then I walked 3 miles to the auto parts store, bought a new cable and walked 3 miles back. But it was Ithaca, it was nice out, and I was still a ute.

I was driving my MG on the Northeast Extension, heading back to Ithaca after visiting my brother west of Philly. I had bottomed out on his gravel driveway, but there didn't seem to be any damage. While I was driving through the Lehigh tunnel, I suddenly heard a rattling/scraping sound. I thought, "Ha! Some poor bastard's dropped an exhaust system!"
A few seconds later, I realized the sound was remarkably consistent
A few seconds after that, I noticed that I was seeing sparks behind my car.
So as soon as I exited the tunnel, I pulled over onto the shoulder. Rear exhaust hanger was busted. But this being an MG, I travelled with an assortment of stuff. I jury-rigged two hose clamps into a new exhaust hanger and I was on my way again.
