176 spokes to build 3 wheelsets. Been sitting on rims and hubs for too long and finally bought spokes and nipples to build them. 2 sets built, one to go.
1. Mavic carbon rims on Dt 350 hubs, disc
2. Velocity Blunt 650b on hope hubs, disc
3. WTB rims on shimano hubs, disc

All for gravel bike use.

Ekoi cyclocross warm up pants. Most sites want over $100 for pants with full zip sides. Ekoi had a sale and I got them for around $65 shipped.

Who do you get spokes from?

It’s hard to have too much purple

Particularly when discounted 40%

I love these bars. Great all around setup.

Cima Coppi

Just received these audax knee and arm warmers and hat for the upcoming rando season https://cimacoppi.cc/en/11-audax-collection

The knee warmers are shaped narrower at the knee for a really contoured fit - and the arm warms are also shaped at the elbow and not just a sausage casing. The reflective pieces look like they really pop.

V excited. The pieces fit so well and I'm really excited about the reflective details to improve my safety. I feel fortunate to add to the collection I already have. Such great stuff from even more amazing people.

Inspired by recent thread

Finally picked up a good pressure gauge...rather than relying on one on pump, which has been sketchy for past couple years....

That's what I feel they're worth... probably one of the biggest "womp womp" products I've bought in a while: extremely hard to mount, "feel" slow, and don't hold air.

I'm kinda all-in on Michelin at this point - it's almost like a large tire conglomerate knows how to make tires....

Maybe Veloflex if I'm feeling fancy.

Which Michelins are you liking now? I have ridden this brand off and on for years, but I haven’t purchased any lately and they have changed the labeling somewhat recently.

Admittedly it was in my most formative years of road cycling, but the Pro Race 3's were probably some of my favorite road tires of all time. It was the early 2000's and I rode 23's all over the east coast, including some light credit card touring. Those tires were just magic to me.

Who knows. They probably suck by todays standards. I did feel at the time they switched that the Pro4's were not nearly as good; and I probably havent ridden a Michelin road tire in a decade or so...

I'd be curious to hear about recent experience with Michelin road tires too.
