I'm guessing he's chucking 24V across the LED which would explain its rapid departure from the living world.

This!

Have a great ride, Vicki!

The pic only comes up thumbnail sized for me so its impossible to make out much of anything, unfortunately.

Not thay it matters but I ordered a chestnut bifold wallet and wallet sleeve.

Yes it is.

Wuhoo! I'd prefer to draft after 8pm but that may not be possible.

Sadly neither are Prime Eligible, I'm probably over thinking this decision.

I need a quick suggestion for some replacement tubes since my flat this week has left me with fewer spares than I like to keep around. Amazon seems to have a plethora of options and I'd like to place an order through them so that I know I have the tubes before the century next weekend.

Nice link, I needed a new wallet.

That is absurdly large.

Have fun you guys!

I needed to dispense with some stress after a long 4 days at work so I took off at the end of the day and headed for the only mountain nearby, which is about 18 miles away. I was cranking along happily until about mile 16 when I hit a sharp bump and the back end started to feel, uh, soft. So I pulled over in front of a house that happened to have two overturned recycling bins in the front yard and changed my first flat on the bike with the use of the makeshift work benches. I extracted a tiny metal shard from the tire which was the cause of the delay. Not a big deal - I had a tube, pump and backup CO² (not needed) so twenty minutes later I was back on the road and headed for the climb. In the end it was a minor incident and the only bummer was that it made me later than I wanted to be getting home and didn't allow for as much in the way of stress relief.

I haven't even gotten to try any of mine yet.

Happy birthday, Jack!!

This.

Wuhoo! More pics, we need more pics!!

Happy vacation, Vicki!

Vicki, not that it matters, but I'm not a white bike guy and I like that an awful lot. What is it getting for wheels?

No bats last night, yay! Boo, getting yelled at by Admirals today. Let's hope I can escape at 4 for a much needed decompression ride.

I don't think that they would work since the heat sinks are already tapped for 4-40.

I need non-conductive, heat resistant screws, preferably peek. Pan head preferred for mounting TO-220 parts, drive doesn't matter.

I need a couple of 4-40 by 3/8 (ish) screws for a project, anyone have a couple that I could buy? I'd rather not drop $70 on a bag of 100 right now.

Adrian, good deal man. A century is doable in that time frame assuming you pace yourself, eat right and it isn't some crazy ride with 10,000 vertical feet in the 100 miles. Just start at reasonable distances, which given your fitness level is probably in the 15 mile range. You'll probably gain strength pretty quickly and soon 40 to 50 miles won't feel like all that much. After that 100 is just pushing yourself a bit harder. Most organized centuries have 4 to 5 stops built in which makes them all the more doable. I wouldn't recommend an unsupported century unless you're riding with a group of friends. Boo, so psyched for you I can't stand it. I imagine you're bouncing off the walls like a kid on Christmas eve. Me - barring the third week in a row of bat invasions on a Wednesday night (did I just curse myself of what) I'll be hitting the one big hill around here tomorrow after work with a good friend and fellow Team Big Guy member. Should be a nice, but hot ride. Temps are supposed to creep up on 90...
