I was thinking that might be the case, but I could not remember what you had back in the day. What bike did you have from them?

Went through the process at the DMV to get my Illinois Motorcycle license and plan to attend a Triumph premiere event tomorrow night to check out some new bikes they are bringing out. Since I never drive my cars I figured it was time to put another expensive thing in the garage that I never use. I know there are several riders here, but I have not seen many posted in our Motorsports thread.

Happy Birthday Chris. Hope the day turns out great.

Happy Birthday Mikey

Mounted the DiNotte up and the fenders but found there could not be enough clearance for the quick release on the DiNotte with the fenders mounted so I had to ghetto mount it down on the seat stay for the winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the new DiNotte lights charged. I can't say the build quality is as impressive as I expected but the amount of light is ridiculous. Like cannot look into the light without seeing spots for long periods of time bright. I can see why people complain about having to follow people riding with these lights.

Happy Birthday Marc.

It is annoying enough to get it right so that all the air does not just leak back out that both Silcas stayed in the house today as we prepped for the ride and the old Specialized was used to blow up the tires.

Happy Birthday Peter.

Brent, I like to call this filling up the tires on the CF Warbird (which you want) with the Silca Pump (which you want). On a side note. I fucking hate this stupid Hiro chuck. So much adjustment has to be done when switching between tires on different bikes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another inspirational picture for Brent of the Silca being used to pump up the front tire on the R5 so I can use one of my Wahoo smart trainers connected to the gaming computer and 34" G-Sync monitor that I use solely for cartoon bicycle racing while the full Fanatec system sits in its boxes in the attic.

Finally got the dyno wheels and lights for the Jones. The new Stan's Hugo fat wheels with Dyno and a Busch & Muller IQ light which is a nice upgrade over the little B&M on the commuter bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wanted to give Brent a treat so I snapped a picture of me airing up the Titanium Chattanooga bike with a crappy Specialized pump while the Silca Ultimate Hiro watches in the background. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The graphics are basic at best in Zwift. No need for a super computer, I have done it with iPad and iPhone several times. Raffy does a ton of Zwift, not sure what he uses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know, right. Nothing is better than having things Brent desperately wants, but will never have. I might buy a couple more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is pretty impressive, and the best part of it is, Brent does not have and will not have one.

I have to say, the Silca Ultimate Hiro Edition is about the most serious piece of cycling kit I have come across. This thing is overbuilt to the extreme and the packaging that it came in puts several $10k+ pieces of Audio gear packaging to shame. To top it off they do not just send a cheesy little Allen wrench to put it together but instead send one of their overpriced but awesome wrenches. I am reluctant to put this thing in the garage.

There are some really great panniers out there. I like the Ortlieb waterproof/insulated one I use for groceries, but the Banjo Brothers open top grocery one probably works better as a pure grocery getter. I really like the mounting systems from Ortlieb, secure and easy on/off. Neither is compartmentalized so that could be a turn off for a general use kind of pannier. I like the Relevate frame bags on the Jones as well.
