Inexplicably, they won't deliver it to Australia. So I'm having it sent to my dad in Illinois, and he'll send it on to me. So whether I'm at home, or on the road, I need never struggle with my #*^#%$ Gatorskin again!!

Well, I got the VAR levers about a week ago, and put them into my saddle bag. Last night, I got a flat on the way home, so I got my first chance to try them out. I got the tyre off with my regular levers, changed the tube, and got it all fitted back onto the wheel (with the VAR lever) in under 15 minutes. That is an all-time record!!!!

VAR levers: $20
Postage: $10
Not spending 2 hours on the side of the road struggling with a tyre: Priceless
