Going to SRAM? Try the 2010 Force group
I have converted in the last year entirely to SRAM components and have been overall very pleased.
The only negatives I have experienced:
• SRAM Red brake calipers have no extra finish and pit. . .really bad idea for SRAM; my Force calipers are anodized and they look great (both 2009 and 2010).
• Fixing bolts/nuts on brake calipers and shifters are prone to RUST. . .I do not understand using materials that rust on high-end components. . .but you will not see this unless you remove or change components. . .
Great new review of SRAM Force 2010 at cyclingnews. . .

"How To" with video!
A coupe months back, I had a chain break on a ride and Steve Verdell had a quick link he let me use to finish the ride. I ordered a couple of the quick links for my saddle bag to to repay Steve.
When I tried to remove the one I borrowed, I was having no luck. . .so I googled how to remove it and found this site with great videos of "how to" concenrign bicycle repair, etc.

Wheels?
I receive quite a few questions about wheelsets to buy and use. . .
I do not work for these guys, but have been convinced that the Williams wheelsets are the best for us normal people looking for quality, trick stuff (carbon wheels), and reasonable (well, for cycling stuff) pricing:

New blog name, and how about a bicycle review?
I plan to begin updating this blog with information on bicycles, parts, clothing, repair, and whatever my cycling friends and I have questions about and interest in. . .so give me a yell if you want information on something related to bicycles. . .
Let's start with a cyclingnews review of the Madone 6.
(And yes, the one reviewed DOES match my globalbike kit. . .hmmm. . .)
