Even if somebody answers the OP with their Nireeka chain length there's no way to know if their bike is from before or after the brand changed the specs. The right way is in the Park Tool vid Gionni linked to. That way works whether or not the chainring and/or cassette have been changed from...

Absolutely. The Uno-X rider in the break could have gone down when a flag got tangled in his bike. And on the penultimate climb, the Ineos team car was stuck behind the chase group and struck a spectator who was in the middle of the road looking through his phone screen! The driver got...

I have Aerothans on my Haibike and am using RideNow tubes on the Bulls ebike. The Aerothans hold air really well - like I don't bother checking for weeks at a time. About 10,000 miles on 1 tube with maybe 3 patches. I did have a valve failure on one Aerothan after around 5-6k miles. The...

EF sports director said Healy made the call without their input/advice but they agreed with it. I'm sure it was more of a group consensus though. You could see Healy and Jonas briefly talking and a Soudal QS domestique said Remco was shouting Stop Stop to those who had started an attack.

It was so close to the end, I don't know that the 20 or 30 seconds they might have gotten would be worth incurring the wrath of Pogacar and UAE. I was a little surprised they sat up and didn't make him earn his way back to the group though. IIRC, Didn't Armstrong wait for Ullrich when Ullrich...

Wow, that was a great stage. Happy I'm going in to work late today and could watch. Abrahamsen is really easy to root for, he deserves a win after all the km's out in the wind last year and this year

By and large I agree, they do a pretty good job. But as someone in a household that has closed captioning on all the time I have to complain how poorly its implemented. Live captioning is no longer as delayed as in years past, but in this day and age there's really no excuse not to have...

Isn't the Tesoro Carbon a flat bar version of the Synapse Neo? Though I guess that stem/handlebar would be tough to customize the fit. Storage shouldn't really limit your choices - there are solutions from Tailfin and Ortlieb among others that can solve that problem. The 3T Ultra Boost is...

@Chargeride strikes me as someone who wants to explore without knowing what is around the next bend. He seems to thrive on whatever fortune or misfortune comes his way. Heck, I'm surprised he's riding a bike that doesn't require emergency duct tape field repairs.

I agree, there's either a problem with the data, or the tire compound has changed over time. It would help if BRR tested multiple samples of each tire. Also, the 2 older tests were run with tubes and then the tubeless Crr was later calculated when they updated test protocols. From the BRR...

And that's the rub - how do you even compare tires of different sizes with so many variables. But comparing at the same pressure would not make sense (you would get an even greater difference in favor of the 47mm). Higher volume tires take lower pressure to reach similar comfort/stiffness...

@Jeremy McCreary CdA Q1: all the bikes have 680mm flat bars, though the Vado does have a bit more rise in both stem and handlebars than either of the SL bikes. I doubt there's a huge difference in frontal area, so 10% 'feels' high to me. As for both Crr and the drag from the bigger...

I guess, Lidl-Trek thinks they'll get better season returns having Mads focus on the Giro (where he was magnificent!) and the Vuelta? And hoping Milan can make it over the hills I don't think Milan can compete for the green jersey. I mean, they'll get him into the sprint for a couple stages...

My Tektro's have a sticky piston in the rear. I have to clean it 1-2x a year or it will start to wear the pads unevenly. Make sure to block the other pistons completely as you work the sticky one in and out while cleaning it (I use cotton swabs). You may have to work it out until it's on the...

Well being radical IS the new normal here. Being normal is radical.

Forgot to post this last week: Pride tree cozy knitted in the likeness of Divine

High trestles are neat. We were up in Victoria, CA last weekend. Kind of frustrating to be in such a bike friendly city sans bike, but my son and I took the dog and walked the first few miles of the Galloping Goose trail. The dog LOVES going on trails, tugs at the leash if you slow down and...

There is actually a 2021 used one for sale near me right now. Mildly tempting, but they want $1200.

Pretty sure this is the right Park Tool video.

Gaps already to a lot of the GC hopefuls. Not to mention no Carapaz and Lenny Martinez sure didn't look ready for a 3 week Tour, so not as many top climbers for the mountain stages. Maybe there will be more successful breakaways this Tour if Pogacar builds a 5 minute lead in the first week...
