I don't care for the filmmaking style.

I have read that softshell cases are treated with more dignity by the airlines. But I too have a hard case for my coupled bike.

Interestingly, 9 speeds is one thing I've never owned. I had 5 when I was a ute. The Cannondale I bought in 1995 had 7, which I converted to 8 a year later. The Ritchey (1997) had 8, converted to 10 in 2019. The Bianchi (2007) has 10. The Battaglin (built in 2007) has 10. The Canyon(2020) has 11, as does the Litespeed(built in 2022). My various C&V bike have 6, 7, or 8. But never 9. Funny, that.
1 speed
7 speed
9 speed
11 speed

There has to be 4K+ miles on my Marvel and my 6800 cables are just fine. I live in a hilly area so there’s a fair amount of shifting. Interesting.
Today I realized most of my bibs and jerseys are Castelli and Pearl Izumi. I’ve gotta diversify beyond the 2 or 3 other brands that are in the closet, but I get this stuff on sale and it fits well. That’s not counting the jacket my wife lost. To get anything else, I’d have to spend money and get rid of existing gear and I have no desire to do either.

Jerseys include those and a few other brands I've accumulated.

I kind of want to put Ekar 13 speed on something, just to round things out.

So after a summer of very few Zwift rides, my "minimum category" for Zwift races had dropped back to D. I did a few races in D and did pretty well - always on the podium. Then I do a couple Tour de Zwift rides, and damned if I'm not back to C again. Farewell podium.

I think i have every variation of freeweel/cassette in my fleet. Actually on reflection I have: 1 speed fixed, 1 speed freewheel, 3 speed freewheel, 6 speed freewheel, 8 speed freewheel, 9 speed cassette, 10 speed cassette. Oh and 3, 5 & 8 speed IGHs.

Most of my jerseys are hand me downs, the few bibs I have are either no name or cutaway. my jackets are pearl, castelli and rapha.
Honeslty for the price. Castelli stuff I like the most. You can always find it on sale and the quality is great.
They just need to update their sizing.

I'm getting the same vibe. I posted a lot in some of the troll threads. Some of the stuff is interesting but some pig-headed people show up. Some are just looking to argue. I'm fine with a good argument but an idiot will just bring you down to their level and beat you with their greater experience.
Bam’s average time in general is 15-20 seconds.

First day back to work, and my alarm didn’t go off.
New Iphone to me. 11. I have the sleep schedule set up, but I didn’t use that for the alarm, I set two other alarms.
Thank god my sleep schedule was set for 5:15 or I would have some explaining to do.
Simon is starting to smile, but it’s quick. I never have my camera ready. Looks like mrs. bam just missed it.

It’s rare that I can convince my cycling friends to do a relatively long ride in the winter, but somehow I was able to get them to agree to an 80 miler for today. It’s a destination ride to a really good donut shop in Kutztown.
I would like to think it’s my cycling persona that sealed the deal, but it’s more likely that it was the promise of epic donuts.
I found a hard shell travel case on CL so will go check it out after the ride.
