OK everybody, this is the thread where you share your bentcycle wishes for the season. This can be either a list of things (material wishes) or conditions (spiritual wishes).
 
I have a very long list this year:
 
1. A whole dadgummed lane on the road, no cars passing close enough to take dirt samples and see where they've been lately.
 
2. 2 boxes of SRAM PC-951 chain.
 
3. A police force that takes crimes against cyclists seriously, not just as the price we have to pay to use the roads.
 
4. Shimano Acera rear derailler.
 
5.Some dadgummed disability money. I'm getting tired of poverty and can't find a job.
 
6.A pair Breeze dropouts.
 
7. HG50 11-34 9-speed cassette, with individual cogs. That way the next time I trash a cassette I can just replace the bad cog, not the entire cassette.
 
8. I would do the "Peace on Earth" thing, but be honest, people have been wishing for that for at least the last 2000 years, and how close have we ever gotten? I'm going to wish for something attainable, like $10 a gallon gas.
 
9. Socks! I have been riding the same pairs of socks for so long the toes are out on just about every pair.
 
10. Joy to the World. It won't last, but at least it could hang around for a couple of hours.
