I thinking Dylan is a great, insightful, out-of-the-box choice. It makes the Nobel Committee look smart, hip, and relevant. BUT passing over Roth to give it to Dylan is just crazy. If Roth passes away before he can win or they just never give it to him, Dylan's win (and Roth's non-win) will

The attraction of the GB rims is that they auto seat compass tires. No massaging necessary. I could get the machined A23 set But then I would have to pay for a whole new wheelset 500 bucks. Maybe I'll just switch from the yokozuna pads to cool stops and Swiss stops and see what happens with

Eric is right. Use your Synergies, make the best of it, and enjoy yourself. Machined sidewall rims are a little better in the rain, in my experience. That said, rim brakes always perform worse in the rain. If you go a long time between uses, and grab the brakes when you need to stop, like

The BLUG has a long write up and description of the Silver 2 shifters. One big take home is the Silver 1 shifter mold is shot, so those will be going away. So, if you love Silver shifters, stock up now. The Silver 2 looks like it'll be a way better thumb shifter, a somewhat better barcon
