@FlyinRhinoDan – I prefer the term “Mega-Clyde” myself. I’m down to a practically emaciated 273 and was actually able to reach the drops for a minute yesterday. (Then I had to inhale).

…and that dear Fatty is why there are stems with rise. Some have a lot of rise in fact. Changing out a stem is simple enough, even you could do it Fatty. Just don’t over-torque and crush your steerer.

We are, apparently, skipping this winter here in northern California this year. Nothing but sun and perpetual dilemma – shorts or knickers, arm-warmers or wind-breaker.

@DougB Get out the hose it’s time to make Luge. Just don’t make it through the trees.

Looking forward to the next crazy diet, I need one and the inspiration. Fat causes cancer!

BTW. It’s never a good sign when…. The trees are cracking because it is cold outside. -20F (air temp) at my house this morning.

I really am missing riding outside right now. Well I am not missing riding outside right now, but missing the ability TO ride outside.

Just wondering how many of these you are experiencing simultaneously right now Fatty ;)

Yes to all of these! I once unclipped my left foot, only to have the bike start leaning right – slow motion indeed! I am already standing, can’t sit fast enough to get my feet switched. Last second I did pull it off, and the kind person walking across the street said that they didn’t see anything.

Great stuff. Although, I can’t can’t help but ask…regarding spit (or any fluid), doesn’t “low viscosity” mean it flows freely? I think the gels increase viscosity, which make is nigh impossible to fully clear your mouth. It’s especially humiliating when it wraps around your face all the way to your neck…depending on the airflow, of course. Wind tunnel testing would be quite valuable for a study on the subject. We could combine it with testing on “snot rocket” technique while we’re at it.

I thought “low-viscosity” meant something was thick and “high-viscosity” meant it wasn’t. But you’re right; I had it backwards. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever learned the correct meaning of a word on this site. I’ve revised the post. Thanks! – FC
