No frostbitten toes this year: Lake MXZ302's, RBH VaperTherm socks, Toasty Feet "Aerogel Infused" insoles. The insoles are about 1/2 as thick as the wooly ones that come with the Lakes but just as warm...how much Aerogel is actually involved is suspect.
New set of drilled Flat Top 80mm rims that will get laced to the new Hope Pro 2 Evo hub... Waiting on front hub (9:zero:7) and spokes (DT Swiss super comps)
Here are my non-stock items for Pugs.
Just took my newly built-up frameset out on its maiden voyage this AM.
My other frame was damaged so I just swapped out the components.
The Titanium annodized Mary bars were great and gave me confidence and control.
The Thomson Stem is a new addition as well 100 x 31.8 x 10.
The Nates F & R were superb for the conditions today, still some mud and puddles on the trails after a rainstorm last week so traction was great semi-dry/wet .
I actually find myself wanting it to get cold so I can test these. They stay the hell away from my ankles while holding onto the rest of my foot. It's mid 30s and balmy here, so I don't know if they work yet.
Epoxy, hardener, a different kind of epoxy and hardener, vacuum bag fasteners, gum tape...
I got these cranks for 56% off. The short pink ones just wouldn't sell.
I'm no homophobe, but I'm no fan of pink, so a 30 minute date with Greased Lightning and a wire brush gave me this:

Damn! I ought have purchased them for my wife’s red 9:zero:7 build (it’s a Christmas present, she doesn’t know about it yet). I have a whole buttload of purple, red, and pink anodized components set aside for her bike build, but hadn’t really thought about the crankset.
QUOTE from MTBR.COM: You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.
I replaced the 44T with bash guard and changed the black middle ring to a gold colored one. Now I wonder if two gold colored bolts would be better looking than four.
Neither of my boxers got into pic

Reason: added the pic
I realize I didn't get this pic up as soon as I said I would. Here's the Ground Control handlebar bag from Procelin Rocket. The drypack to the left is not included in the price and is a 10L waterproof bag from OR. The idea being you don't have to unhook your bag from the bike, just pull out the drybag from inside. Cool, huh? The picture does not due these items justice; the 10L drysack has room to spare inside the bag, plus you have the little accessories bag too. Not just for the fatbike but the monstercross bike too, which I'm commuting with.
Finally, these were delivered today !
Also i got a new can of talcumpowder with a fresh menthol smell.
Now if only the rain and heavy winds will stop...
