    I am not going to wait for Santa. I think I will get one that says either "OUCH" or my mom's favorite "Can't Never Could". And lookie I can get matching lock on grips and bar ends.

    I really wish I could have Can't Never Could for my Cannondale but I think it won't take these. Darn.

    We've used Purly Custom for our shop's custom engraved headset caps. They do come out very clear.

    What compression plugs do you use? All my bikes have carbon forks, so I can't use a star nut, but do you have one that works with the caps? On my Colnagos, I just have the new caps over the original Campy caps -- not ideal, but it works.

    FB- Ugh. I somehow keep hitting my midsection. Usually it is on a climb when I can't make it and bail out sloppy. I hit a little below the belly button on the soft squishy "pooch" area. And I bruise if you look at me wrong so I am not even hitting hard. I should also mention I am incredibly clumsy so I pretty much bruise 5-6 different places each time I mountain bike.
