    Whatever you do, just don’t end up looking like this…

    >>Do they make the levers at different angles?
    Not that I am aware of.

    >>Or is there some other measurement to look at?
    Yes. The general guideline is that the most that you want to move the levers should be dictated by whether or not you can still fully grab the levers while in the drops. Of course, this can varies from one person to another due to hand/finger size. If this still does not provide the desired position, then I suggest loosen the stem clamp and rotate the handlebar in the stem for further adjustments.

    Hope this helps!

    In this same topic, I never click on just links. Please kindly provide a synopsis of what the article is about instead of just posting a link. There are some great examples of this elsewhere on the forum. (Besides, I thought that was proper forum etiquette, as those that just post links are typically spammers.)

    I would certainly hope this awesome forum of ours do checks for malicious/spam links. Besides, the reputation of the OP and what the title says should be reasonably adequate to determine the legitimacy of a posting, IMO.

    Isn’t the thread title the summary?

    I *did* edit the title to make sure the key info is included since the full title was truncated.

    “The closure will be for about one week… Cyclists will be directed to Virginia Lane and Nottingham Drive to detour around the closed section of trail. This on-road detour uses the W&OD Trail access at the end of Nottingham Drive.”

    You post a lot of interesting links, but only the links. They’d be more useful if you could offer a quick preview or a summary of the most useful information.

    Unless one knows where Nottingham Drive is, he/she will likely have to click on the link anyway. Besides, I’m not a movie/food critic, so perhaps it’s better just to let the link do the talking.

    For those of you keeping track, yesterday was the halfway point of this year’s Occasionally Inclement (formerly “Freezing“) Saddles.

    Or perhaps rename it to Inversion Saddles.

    This project is quickly becoming Arlington’s equivalent of the Silver Spring Transit Center mess.

    Some people are putting in great efforts on their trainers. While these rides are great for your conditioning, they don’t count for Freezing Saddles. Please remember Rule 3) Trainer rides don’t count. Mark your rides as such or include #NOBAFS in the title to exclude them. Take your bike outside and ride it some distance across the surface of the earth in order to earn points. Manual entries will also not be accepted.

    Is Houston Astros doing Freezing Saddles?

    “An open house for the pedestrian bridge project is scheduled for Feb. 11 from 6-8 p.m., in which nearby civic associations will be invited, though the location of the open house was not announced. Staff said renderings for the bridge will be available at the open house.”

    Here is where you can get all your questions answered. But wait! You have to be invited, to some undisclosed location… So I guess it’s not really an open house.

    Great Idea! Always wanted to see them when they’re not all dolled up. Bee and I will try to catch your train at WOD MM8 ~0900 or will just meet up at Cafe Amouri. Let’s just hope the weather cooperates!
