I think that "extremely soft" is being very kind to Chinese hangers. The one I just broke appears to be just pot metal. I'm sure there's some aluminum in there, but there's a lot of mystery meat too. The 3 WM hangers I bought as replacements really look like quality product. The next bike...

Expired license + RoadID I know most people on here hate RoadID, but I do like their product. FWIW, the ICE numbers that people stick on their phones are mostly useless. Medical personnel look for stuff like RoadIDs, not through the directory on your phone. Obviously there are a...

http://www.princetontec.com/?q=swerve This is about the brightest cheap/economy rear light available in the states. $25 or so. The clip is very strong. Simple switch. The downside is that it is very directional due to the reflectors, so it must be vertical in order to throw light well...

RDV, I'm with you. I'm partially guilty because I ride the trail where I live, because it's the only connector between two cities besides an interstate highway, but it's relatively low traffic. The bike path congestion really used to frustrate me, but I think the core problem is that we...

Slumdog, SP already sells a rubber cap for the cleats. $10 US. Works well enough and worth it for slippery concrete floors. Pain to drag around though.

You finally got the cleat mounting plate perfectly flat. It took three attempts and I finally got mine to work. It wasn't easy. I had to get out the file and knock down the tilted-up ends of the mounting screws and use my kitchen counter as a "granite plate" to check flatness. I passed on...

Pursuing Mafia drug distribution cartels (where most PEDs originate from) is hardly a "waste" of public funds. The most likely reason Anderson didn't talk was in deference to his supplier (the mob), not Bonds. A link to Dr. Maserati's post where he links to a conference report on PED...

I fell victim to the hype and ended up with Speedplays for both my AND my girlfriend's bikes. In short, they are worthless, useless, garbage. My left pedal works OK. My right pedal takes 2-3 times the force to unclip. I just pulled them off after one ride. I'm simply afraid to get in a...

It diminishes the credibility of the arguments when LA is attacked on these levels. If he has the GED, so be it. Who cares if he did the cap and gown walk? Most people with the same talent and opportunity would have gone to CO like he did. The guy has a lot of character flaws, but going...

Why bother to go to war with Twits? You can only become one. The best response will be to keep asking informed, reasoned questions that beg to be answered given the facts (or rather absence thereof).

I wondered, but the tweets and the info tab don't seem to jive. Either it's a mock account or somebody's administrative assistant has a sense of humor (and justice). =========================================== Livestrong Helmets Cheap! Get them before even Bell gives up on LiveWrong.wtf?

Yes, and suspiciously (frighteningly?) similar to Bonds and Anderson's moonies. I tweeted to RR and picked up a "follower" as well.

What other explanation is there? People have turned State's evidence on narcotics cartels for a roll of Smarties. And for anybody worried about whether Novitzky will "win" against Bonds, he's already won. The consequence for not rolling on the supply chain is bankruptcy by legal bill. Yet...
