Used wired track SRM.

I'm getting the battery checked and the decal replaced tomorrow. A couple of Dura ace BB-7710 Octalinks bottom brackets are ordered and on the way too.

Tillquist uses tufo tape?! Good for him. All I hear about is how bad this stuff is. If I used tubulars I definately use the tape. Just seems easier.

I use tufo tape, and a good source, high mileage rider tells me that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, as long as you're not a weightweenie as it weighs a LOT more than glue

I can only agree with this post

Tape is crap. Plenty of tests out there that show that it rolls SLOWER than proper glue.

[Fibre-Lyte]

It's a whole different topic, which I'm happy to get into if we start another thread but the rolling resistance tests are almost a lab experiment. True, any compliance increases rolling resistance therefore soft tape is more resistant than hard glue but compliance is also a factor meaning that a slightly softer ride will be better/more comfortable for the cyclist therefore it could be argued that overall, tape is better than glue on anything other than a track

(N.B. it is also possible for glue to be softer than tape, especially if applied incorrectly)

If you're too lazy to glue your tubs, then you should just use clinchers.

OK, looks like I directed this one off topic. Soooooooo........

I just bought some brand spankin' new Look Keo Blade pedals last week. They should be here by the end of this week I hope.

Just got a new toy

[Fibre-Lyte]

Keo Blades and a Garmin Edge 500. I'm not jealous of you two at all, in the slightest, one bit...

[Johnny Rad]

I'll trade you a "limited edition" blue Garmin Edge 500 for your standard, run of the mill black 500!
Straight across. My loss is your gain. Ha ha!
