You have to send them your seat and they custom build one on your seat pan.  They said the pic I sent them (from Rusty) was a "Sport Seat" and to just say that's what you want in the comments.  When the time comes, I'm going to just send them Rusty's pic.

You're right.  The jacket cuff seals we place our thumbs through are not waterproof, but I rode through a heck of a thunderstorm with a pair of short-guantlet gloves strapped under the jacket cuffs and arms stayed dry.  I read some other guys had similar experience with them.  But who knows?  I know you can't go wrong with a good external gauntlet.  And yes, Klim knows all too well their stuff is the best.  Be well ma'an.

We digress.  My fault.  Apologies.  So we're looking for award categories and scoring criteria.  Any other ideas?

I broke down last week and ordered a pair of Klim Element Gauntlet gloves.  Because the Klim Badlands pro jacket I wear has weather seals on the sleeves that most jackets don't have (You listening Rusty), I should have ordered the Klim Element short gloves and saved 30 smucks.  But I have now added the full gauntlet gloves to the pile of cheap winter gloves I have accumulated over the years.  I haven't even broken in the Klim gloves yet.  But I already know they are far superior to any of the Bilt (never buy Belch anything) River road (overload) or any of the other fluff out there.  And so I can already say that these new Klim gloves are far superior in every way to any winter glove I've ever worn:  I can flick a bic and light a smoke with them on my hands ma'an.  That's new and differnt.  Now I expect this out of my warmer weather Rev-it gloves which are outstanding gloves in their own right.  The guys at Cyclegear pointed me at the Rev-it swearing they're the bomb.  Besides, they passed the bic test even brand spanking new.  It took a couple of weeks to break in the rev-its, but no glove is as transparent on the hand as these.  Get-em tight.  Treat 'em right.  But back to the Klim:  These babies show serious promise.  So far I haven't had a chance to test them below 45 degrees, but all the reviews say I won't be disappointed.  They offer superior feel transmission on the palms and underside of the fingers, while offering serious insulation and high quality leather on the top.  I thank I done good.  For 230 smucks I better have!

Dude!

I'm ready to have myself and my 690e air-dropped (LALO) out of a C130 onto this track.  It sucks living so far away from the really good sh-tuff.

Aw shux.  The nominations are the most important part.  And then let the ragging begin.

Interesting.  I'm puzzled.  At the risk of asking a dumb question, did you reset your speedo for the new tire / rim combination?  A 15/42 setup should feel like you gave up first gear and added a 'seventh' gear based on the shift points.  I'm running 16/45 which is the same gear ratio as you're running.  My minimum speed in sixth gear before she starts to bog down is around 55mph.  Yours should be about the same although I'm beginning to suspect the shift points may not be identical although the ratios are the same.  I'll be doing some experiments to see if my hunch is correct in the not-so-distant future.  (I'm going to try the 15/42 combination and see if there's a difference in the shift points from the 16/45.)  My hunch is that there is, but I have no evidence to back it up yet.  Just a theory)
