Rapha mitts were £75 last time I checked. Bontrager make some good black leather mitts for only £20. The Gore ones I have are old-school white leather (with knuckle holes etc) on the back with modern materials on the palm - rpretty good (and good-looking) as long as you keep the leather well moisturised (I haven't).

like the idea of the ibike. seems like an affordable way to train w/ power, even if it has its quirks.

I have a feeling that power meters are going to start coming down in price over the next few years. Quarq is a bit of a game changer in this regard.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 17 June 2010 02:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i have a 305 and it's great. i got it @ wholesale for beta-testing a site that's now my sponsor!
Ed OTM about power meters not only dropping in price but also will be radically changing in form in terms of technology. instead of being tied to a hub/wheel (power tap) or a crank (srm), there is a whole new movement to move power meters into more portable forms like pedals.
I have teammates who don't even look at speed (and more and more are ignoring HR!) in favor of rolling 3-second average power as a percent of max!!! nerds!

i think i saw something about a pedal-based system last year on another forum around interbike time. some people were dissing it though. are powermeter partisans more annoying than groupset partisans??

probably worse because in 5-10 years, all existing tech will be obsolete by the sounds of things...

Have never tried embrocation
Me neither, but I'm curious to try it. The smell of embrocation in the changing rooms is one of the key things I remember about the races I did at Eastway way back in 89. It doesn't seem to be so commonly used nowadays.

J tried it once before a race in dreadful conditions (torrential downpour, high winds). Not bad, never got a chance to do it again.

at a bike gear crossroads. i need to get either a new road bike, or makeover my current ancient bike. i really love my 97 dean ti frame, it's really basic but fits and rides the best of all bikes ive had. its components are 11 years old and way worn out. i also want the ability to bring my own bike conveniently when i travel (which is not v. often).
so, should i strip off the ancient team powdercoat, ship the frame to bilenky and have s&s couplers put on, and then install a full new sram force gruppo? i think cutty likes sram, right?
