While I'm happy to see the Sheldon-love just as you present it, you might want to mail an admin to have your main link fixed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH I HATE YOU MATH-OWIE!

For a brief moment I totally thought I was totally losing my fucking mind. "Wait, Sheldon Brown? Wasn't he dead already!? I know I already did this. What the fucking hell!?"

great products, some of which i use regularly, if not daily.

the symmetrispokes are overrated, though. that's just my opinion. i tried them, and they added little to my speed or comfort of ride, and the serviceability benefits didn't add up, if you could deal with the workaround - of using left-handed spokes in a right-handed spot. it's a bit of a backyard workaround, but it works fine enough for me.

sometimes i feel that Sheldon was taking advantage of his audience.

Dangit, April Fool's Day is supposed to be for laughin' it up, and this is making me a little teary-eyed instead.
