With or without fenders?

Beautiful! What part of England again? Two months of darkness and rain is a lot endure. Got a taste of that in our time around San Francisco — only more like 1 month at a time in winter there. Definitely wears on you. Here in SW SoCal, we get a lot of gloom from the marine layer — especially in...

Once on vacation with kids in Maine, we lined up for dinner at a small, locally famous lobster shack. Once inside, my 4 year-old daughter ran straight for the live lobster tank, nose to the glass. "Look, mom, they have Sebastians!!!", she called back with great delight. Everybody smiled. (She...

I have the same compulsion. Just can't let a distance ending in an 8 or 9 stand. Luckily, I can top off with quiet 1-mile laps around the neighborhood. Love it when those perfect rides just come together. Nice to ride a bike you admire. Feel that way about my Specialized SL 1. Still get the N+1...

What's the issue with concrete slabs?

If you average all the hugs winners give or get after the finish line, bet the women have the men beat at least 5 to 1.

Strade Bianche this Saturday — Pogi's first race of the year! https://www.strade-bianche.it/en/

Thanks! My SL 1 5.0 EQ has fenders. Are you using the Pirelli 45s with or without fenders? Same question for @Cycologist .

Which Pirelli model? A little more compliance does sound tempting when the 38s are done.

Speaking of highlights, why am I seeing only the last few km of any given race on YouTube now? Seems like a new trend since even last pro season. Did some nefarious Bond villain buy up all the rights to earlier parts of pro races? Are timely true highlight reels that much more expensive to...

I'm encouraged that your field data keeps showing a Pm(Pr) function with a linear ramp-flat structure with (a) the ramp and flat both straight lines, and (b) the flat close enough to horizontal for modeling purposes. My original Pm(Pr) model from 2024 Spec documents had the same structure...

Curious, what's your motivation for going from 42 to 45 mm tires? I'm running the tubeless Pathfinder Pro 38s on my SL 1 5.0. Love riding gravel on this bike when I can, but most rides from home are on pavement. The only reason I'd consider going wider than 38 mm would be for safer braking on...

Brennan's an articulate and thoughtful guy, mature beyond his years.

Thanks for the link! I have a hard time listening to Chris Horner for more than a few minutes at a time, so I never made it to the part where he discusses all the crashes. One after another — never seen anything like it! Guessing that cobbles and wet roads had something to do with it.
