Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Be gentle if they're Shimano IceTech - they don't need a lot of persuading.
Rubbing on both feels more constant than a bent rotor. I might just have to take it to LBS and see what they say. Still trying to figure out which bike to race.

Recentering what? You need to move the caliper.

I've had some decent results with the birds the last few weeks. Here's one you might consider for a full screen desktop picture.




Not too bad for a 200% crop.

I'll take mine in 33.5:1 ratio with more wing span, please.

Great capture!

It's quite windy this morning. I plan to ride anyway. With my peanut rides a little wind doesn't make a lot of difference. I'm making a daily ride a 'have to'.

Saw a big old hawk atop the main branch of the Free Library while walking home on Monday. One of their favorite places to hang.

take the lead at the start and lap the field then you won't need brakes (breaks). Problem solved. You're welcome.
