These are great. Makes working with Torx less painful. Did you get the one with the speedball end?

Thanks, I watched a GCN video on wrapping bar tap, it was helpful! I am trying to do more of the bike maintenance in our house these days as I really enjoy it.

Ha ha!

I'll be the first to admit. It was a huge splurge.

However. I wanted a mirror as my daily commutes often have me on busy roads.
Its great. Shows enough of what's behind you to make it a very safe and effective safety tool.

I recently bought a Ritchey Swiss Cross Disc v2 frameset, just waiting on some drivetrain bits now and I'll share a photo when it's all built up!

Post Co Bar Bag for longer rides or carrying extra stuff. Really nice build quality. Nice side pockets and a cool magnetic top as well. I like that it fits under the garmin mount and the little reflective part is my only small gripe. Also, it's water resistant, not water proof. Best thing are the grippy straps that latch onto the bar top. Minimal swaying and I don't even use the head tube strap. Would recommend.

For my 50th birthday, I ordered a pair of Bont Helix semi custom shoes. They showed up this week, but the color of the tongue is incorrect. They told me to keep this pair and they're re-making the shoes so I ended up with 2 for the price of 1.
