Agree with the QR wheels and easy-off/on tires, but I found unplugging and
re-plugging dynohub connectors a very minor part of fixing a flat. Sure,
SON spade connectors are fussy, but they're not *that* fussy, and Shimano's

There's no way you can pump a road tire high enough to prevent a dented rim
when you hit a sharp-edged pothole (or, around here, 6" expansion cracks)
at a high enough speed. I've done this myself even with tire overinflated.

Good sealant can prevent glass flats. Use a thicker tire or use sealant.
Modern sealants work fine with tubes and tubeless against small holes from
thorns and glass particles. I routinely ride through fields of glass shards
and patches of goatheads on very lightweight tires and -- so far, so good.
Note that at least some modern sealants work very well in at least some
very thin, supple tires. OS *regular* formula works as well or almost as
well in lightweight tubes (70 gram Schwalbe 559X~23 mm tubes) in paper thin
RH Elk Passes, and in lightweight tubes (100 gram Schwalbe 559/584X42mm
tubes)
As with gearing and saddles, so with tires; tastes vary vastly. I know
experienced riders who can't be bothered to figure out their gears; if they
can find a gear that is pretty good in most riding situations, they're
happy -- they look blank when you ask them what rings and cogs they are
using. Li
The trouble with those, besides being bulky looking, is our big temperature
differentials. I can often leave at 9 am at 18*F and come back at 50*F. I
daresay that if I were riding long periods at sub 20* I'd think differently.

The Gander Thinsulate finger flap design would be perfect. Long ago I had
something like that, though not as warm as I need: basically a gauntlet
cycling glove with leather padded palm and half fingers with flip up finger
covers. I'd very much like to get something similar but with more
insulation
raft link. The price is good, but I think I'll look
first for mittens that are less cumbersome than the OR set I had. But link
noted for future reference.

But please consider button front breast pockets. For light things -- snack,
phone, keys, wallet, they work wonderfully. I had just one jersey with them
-- a retro-copy -- and I wish I'd kept it.
Me, I miss pockets (rear as well as front) when my top doesn't have them.

Old times! I remember the Baggins era; nice bags but not as well designed
as the Sackvilles and descendants. I owned a Hoss and an Adam.
I'd have bought the bigger bar bag beausage and all for the Monocog but I
just bought a cheap bar bag so it would be surplus to requirements. But
interesting bit
Oh, forgot to mention that I'm shifting the 44/28 combo with the very same
7400, 7401, 7402 whatever fd and it still works just fine. I had to raise
the fd 2 or 3 mm to clear the 44 but -- said it before -- it all works fine.

The Vernon Blake article is worth a read:

And: are any of these big enough to squeeze 2 3/32 cogs onto?
Does anyone make 2-speed freehubs/fh bodies? I did not find any.

driver -- but not worthwhile since the
Man, I'd be interested -- to use it as a 12-28 10-speed -- but even with 11
cogs they leave out the all-important 16 t. Very odd. I was exerting a
great deal of anguish about that gap back in the 7-speed days.
