Just got my first carbon bars (Easton Havoc), and I know to put the friction paste at the stem. But my question is do I need to use the friction paste with the grips, brakes, and shifter too? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a forum search and I didn't see anything.
I run a Maxxis Minion 2.5 up front. I ran a Mavic EX823 up front for a few years and loved it. I wanted something a bit lighter, so I got a Stans Flow EX. The Minion tire on the Stans rim doesn't seem to hold up as well; it wants to wash out. I talked to a few people, and they all said to...
I've tried a lot of things, and I've found that (for me) adhesive-backed velcro works as a pretty damn good chainstay protector. You've got to use the "hook" side, the "loop" side wears a lot quicker. I've since peeled it off the chainstays, but now I've got this good amount of adhesive...

Where's a good place to buy one? I'm going to buy one soon, and I'm hoping somebody can tell me of a place that has them for a good price.

Oh, I live in SoCal, but I'm not opposed to having it shipped.
I'm currently using this comp chest protector:
It works fine, but it's kinda bulky. So lately, I've been thinking of getting the pro pressure suit:
