 X2 for me and a great friend.poo poo has been tight lately, but, gently caress it. I want to watch these two powerhouses beat each others brains in.

 Bought this for my phone (via its Kindle app) to read while working out, and splurged on an audio recording of it. The book isn't a hard read, but the audio book for it was a bit more engaging than just reading it. I think it has to do with a documentary-like tone of the writing; I feel like I got a more honest/revelatory look at what happened to Apollo 13 than I got from Lovell's book, which I'm also reading.

No pictures but I got a really good deal on some Calvin Klein boxer briefs. 4 for $21, way cheaper than MeUndies and they have a fly!

Look, bikers are really sensitive about their hobby. God forbid you suggest that them wearing full spandex unitards might be a little unnecessary for a weekend ride around the park.

Please ride that lap around the park in sweaty jeans, and let me know how the chafing on your nads feels the next day. Also god dammit I need a truing stand too. And a workstand/clamp.

It's easier than that, just correctly point out that nobody cares about vaping.

True fact: if you spend more than 100€ on a bicycle, it's literally the same as spending money on a Dick Butt trilby and also wearing it in public.

I am running 1x10 now, this new drivetrain increases the range so I get a 'new gear' above and below my current range. And it covers the entirety of my old 2x9 setup. I'm excited to get my granny gear back, I'm out of shape right now.

Had a month's travel/business holiday, so my bank account is flattened, but I just sprung for a pair of VIP tickets to see these two chaps* and  'In Conversation' with each other on stage at the Hornsey Town Hall in June because Mark Hamill is a huge, unabashed Kinks' fanboy, and Ray Davies is awesome on general principles (Dave is the big Star Wars fanboy). *Obviously looking a bit more rugged these days, but meh.

Coredump posted:
Because goons are just trying to stop you from having to waste money buying a whole 'nother bike once you start riding more than a few miles and eventually decide that you really do want drops after all so as to shift your hands and posture around for comfort. You can't just swap in drops without having to replace a bunch of other poo poo, so it's usually just more cost effective to buy a whole new bike and start over from scratch.
