    Disc brakes on road bikes...

    This might be a silly question, but why are we assuming they're going to be hydraulic discs? Why not go strictly mechanical disks and skip the boiling hydraulic fluid issue altogether? Wouldn't that be a simpler/more easily maintained/lighter option if they're going to go to discs?

    Fingerless gloves with no padding

    I'm not entirely sure what level of warmth (if any) you're looking for, but I really like the Giro Zero gloves. Though they appear to have redesigned them slightly, I don't know how the new version feels.

    Velocity A23s vs Hed C2s vs...

    Portland? Well poo, so much for meeting for a drink during one of my annual trips to Boulder. But more seriously, hope things are working out for you, best of luck. :)

    New method for rear wheel attachment?

    This guy is trying to patent a new method of attaching the rear wheel so that when you need to take it out, the cassette stays attached to the frame... http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/belgian-man-reinvents-wheel-146690
