That is sort of standard if I recall, but it's been a few years now (!) since I've really biked.
With that new appetite, you better keep biking there blortelby.

yeah, 00 is purple, and we're already buddies. theoretically, both are aid pieces, but I'd totally fall on the purple guy.

yeah, I noes. YOu lose the narrow head width on alien in those sizes. The only remaining advantage is the floppy stem, which I think is secondary to a quality placement, which is more likely with a narrower head to find the sweetspots in tiny carcks.
I have fallen on two lobes of a black alien and it held though.

Well, moving my bike into storage in mid 08, and putting my dignity and rack in the van was sort of the end. I think zeke was in phoenix by then though.
I've tried to get back into it since, but an ill advised run fuked my knees for like 6 months last summer, and the place I live now is not conducive to biking... I'd need to load the bike in the car and drive somewhere to really enjoy it.

Yeah, I prefer tcu's in those smallest sizes as well, though I still think that, for 4 cam lobes, the Aliens were the best for small stuff. A while back, I bought the two smallest of those old "microcamalots"– four-cam units that are the equivalent of black and blue aliens, roughly, and have never gotten a satisfactory placement with them. Just too bulky, wide, high-profile trigger wires, for their size.

Durp. Well, I don't know that I'm excited to fall on the perple, but I keep it racked. I dunno, maybe it's mental, but the gray looks so much more delicate to me. I really wouldn't wuntz to fall on it.
