  1. There are practical aspects to all the road cycling specific clothing items that once you’ve ridden a good distance over several hours, you will really appreciate those qualities, and you won’t go without after that.  And you’ll get over the self consciousness feeling quickly.  90% of amateur road cyclists don’t have a perfectly trim shape like the pros. Nobody cares.

    Guess what I found on FB marketplace.

    A Trek Domane SL5 in near new condition. Just a very small scratch on the bottom bracket. The owner threw in pedals, carbon bottle holder and a bunch of other accessories.

    It was a bit above my budget, but 40+% off of a new SL5.

    Black and burnt orange. 🤘

    Nice bike.

  3. All these cheeky quips about missing bolts are funny and all, but I’m really interested to hear the root cause failure in this deal.  Like mentioned above, the plugs are a commonly installed item and it’s not likely that the design has changed in decades so it’s unlikely a design flaw.  Properly torqued bolts at 100 ft-lbs and improperly torqued bolts at 85 ft-lbs you likely won’t have any issues either, even though the under torqued bolts are “loose”.  So back to assembly procedures and oversight by someone, company/contractor division of responsibility, etc. 

    If my subcontractor screws something up in my product it’s still my fault for lack of oversight.

    Give me odds on Urban. Dude is "only" 59. He got fired for being an ass-fingering loser at his NFL gig, but has won at all 4 cfb stops. If he  could pull  it off  at Bama, he'd remove the losing stench from his  last  gig. Plus he's gotta be sick of listening to his cunt wife nag all day long. That broadcasting gig only provides cover during the fall. 

    You mean spinnershells or whatever tf?

    Do you have inside knowledge of this? That’s a weird judgement to make otherwise.

    Anybody that was inside the building potentially has some ear issues, as the pressure wave from the explosion would have been pretty large.
