holy sh1t! How fvcking long are those steerer tubes?
Well, it's 1,000 of each size, 5mm and 10mm, and we're using 2 10s and a 5 per bike, so it's a decent amount of bikes. But those were the minimum quantities.

Man, I only ever hang out in the road forum these days...

oooohhh, so those aren't each one individual spacer?

If they were, I was gonna accuse you of working in a porn shop.

No, that would be funny though. They're stacks of either the 10mm or 5mm spacers, wrapped in plastic.
A spacer like that would be about perfect for your Surly build though! :)

Here's a random question for ya...

I am not a bomb...I mean, I am not a racer. One could classify me as a recreational rider. Do I measure my handlebar width based on outisde the shoulders, or from the armpits.

Discuss.

I say do whatever's comfy. I used to run 46's back when there were actually 46cm wide bars out there. But I've been on 44's so long, I'm not sure that I could switch back. I do know that 42s seem like kid's bars, I cannot physically ride a 42cm wide bar, I'm all twitchy and stuff.

I used to back in the day, and I'm really considering getting some skis again this winter. It was such a crappy snow season last year though, I hope it'll be better. My coworker has snowshoes, which she loves, but I'm more a ski guy I think.

Seconded on the whateva's comfy.

Then you get to wrestle with whether the bars are measured outside to outside or center to center!
