Even Levi Leipheimer uses the old paperclip in the brake lever trick!
hmm… he’s actually racing with a carbon bar and stem. doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

A site about lugs, tan sidewalls, maybe jazz, classical, punk and bluegrass, local riding, worldly riding and people, cool cats, lame ducks, 110 bcds, wool, and smelling like hell after a long ride.
i rode with p clips in my levers @ big bear, huge improvement. much easier to grip and brake at once. highly recommended. very ghetto looking
This is ghetto:
Sometimes as a theft deterrent if I didn’t bring a lock or am just running in to pickup beer real fast I’ll open the brake releases with the assumtion that anybody who tries to ride away on my bike won’t have enough braking power to stop and will crash and I will pounce on him and crush him and take back my bike.
Unfortuneatley, when I pick up two six packs and forget to close the brakes then ride off down the street with the 12 beers dangling off my handlebar I feel dumb.
This is a run on sentence.
And a metaphor.
nick, clear the first two weeks in july for some riding and drinking. i’ll be in town.
also: best theft deterent: bebop pedals. no one can ride them without the cleats.
no one can ride them with the cleats, really.
I thought you’re supposed to put paper clips on your testicles, you know, to make you angrier so you ride faster?
gary uses alligator clips on his, to great effect.
