Shop-cyclists Shop bike fitting solutions for cyclists including wedges, shims, pedal extenders, saddles, insoles, and more to maximize your ride!

I don’t know what their deal is. I have a couple of sets of their varus wedges, wanted more, they’ve been out of stock for months or longer. Maybe out of business? I found this alternative: fitkitsystems.com/shop-cyclists/. No experience with them yet, though.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to learn that in the last 24 hours, Providence has seen nearly triple Denver's *seasonal* snowfall (32.8" vs. 13.4")

Apropos of found stuff, I found this 30-ish-year-old t-shirt in my basement, a souvenir from my very brief autocross career. This is @supcat.bsky.social bait or catnip or something.

Yes, I think every modern derailleur is a slant parallelogram design, except maybe the SRAM 1x that have a horizontal parallelogram.

Slant parallelogram…why does that sound familiar?

I think that was the Subaru BRAT, which featured a couple of vestigial plastic seats in the bed so it could be classified as a passenger car instead of a light truck. That allowed it to get around the 25% tariff on imported light trucks that was in place at the time.
