@shrpshtr325 - I'll keep a weather eye out. There's nothing in that range new that's Quark-ish, but I'll keep looking and let you know if I see anything. Crank length? (I probably misspoke.)
Thanks, they are 172.5, i currently have an ultegra 6700 crank on there. i looked at the watteam powerbeat system, but its not compatible with my existing cranks (which kills most of the savings on it) and im not so sure on the DIY nature of it, would love to try it but not sure its worth it once i buy a new(to me?) crank to try it on
This is a BB30, so may not work but with three hours to go, it's still under $300

thanks, good price if it would fit, but looks like the bike im planning to put it on is a bb86 :/

Iron Cross highlights, lowlights and nightlights
The upcoming CX plans (boring)

I have to drive down to Chester to take the other boy back to school tonight. This couldn’t have come out at a better time.

Yay, I won’t be inundated with the daily Jets/Giants “cry fest” (not the phrase I would have previously used) on my home bound commute.
It’s feast or famine with you guys.
At least it's food based. And we do accidentally talk football this week.It’s feast or famine with you guys.

more guests is always good, especially hearing how other hobbies/activities integrate (?) with cycling.
those ceramic speed bearings, i didnt get to talk to the guy at jorbafest (the tent was unattended every time i rolled by . . .) present an interesting connundrum, bc one part of the bearing should be softer than the other (sacrificial), either the balls or the race, usually the balls are easier to change than the race (can be press in ect), but knowing what material both parts are made of would make for some interesting speculation as to actual lifespan. (warning technical thought train leaving the station, if you dont care skip the rest of this).
if the balls wont be hurt by sand (which as you know is a pretty hard, and abrasive substance, it can etch glass), what are they actually made of? lets say they are some super hard ceramic material, what are the races made of? if they are the same stuff then they will wear each other out, one of them should be softer, but did they find two materials that are harder than sand that are also compatible? Do they wear slowly enough that they could simply be cleaned and repacked for (lets just say for a even number) 10 times as long a life as a regular hardened steel bearing? (yes steel bearings are all steel, but typically the race and balls are hardened to different strengths).
sorry for my technically inclined rambling, this is what i spent my car ride home thinking about while i listened to you guys go on. ill finish tomorrow OMW to work and add any additional comments.

Just finished Epi37-
@Norm on finding tv/movies: if you are on the Roku standard, it has a built in global search function- will tell you where something is, even if you are subscribed to it.
And what @TallGuy said- watch the Mr Rogers doc.
And fwiw, I enjoy hearing some audio race recap- I expect I am not alone here.

I need more. I have no memory of e37. See empty box post above.
FWIW - I think e38 is solid. You should all listen.
e39 will be littered with expletives.
You asked whether Sean should talk about his race and both decided to give it a pass. I was haz sad.
