Ratchets are discontinued, so the Antigram is the next best option from Full Factory.

I don't understand discontinuing the Ratchet.  Why not refine it and still offer parts so that current hub owners can upgrade the hub as necessary as the hub evolves.  I like that Profile hubs have been around forever and you can still get parts and upgrades even if you have a hub that is a few years old.

On topic, I know the new bars from Odyssey/Sunday are available, but I don't see the stems or other stuff yet.

That would be awesome

Nope. Picked up the bike and dragged it onto the footpath. A nearby traffic warden gave me a lift to a clinic. I've been riding with a french guy for the last couple of days and he waited at the scene with our bikes. Got all patched up and the same warden waited for me and gave me a lift back again. Cool guy. Wouldn't accept money even though I think I bled all over his car

Did about 30km afterwards and had no difficulty. Bit sore now but it should pass soon enough.  I've got a bottle of Chianti Classico to help

The show must go on.

Can I remove stitches myself or should I really get a doctor to do it?

Going fairly quickly on a decent and hit a pothole, foot slipped off the pedal and got sort of dragged under the bottom bracket. Fish tailed and dropped the bike and slid a few feet on cheese grater style pavement. Was on the middle front ring so the big chainring was free to dig into my leg.

The top of my shoe is completely worn through so good thing I wasn't dumb enough to go barefoot or else i wouldn't have and toes left.

Funny you should say that Tom as I crashed hard today and also think I may have gotten crabs.

12 chainring inflicted puncture wounds to the back of my right leg, 8 of which needed stitches. Took all the skin off the top of my index finger, middle finger, and 4 knuckles on my right hand and lost a lot of skin on my right knee. Fucking gnarly road rash
