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...

You sir, are correct!

I was surprised at how nice Di2 was when I got my bike. Shifts were so crisp I didn't even realize that the shop hadn't set the limit screws at all until the first time I accidentally double shifted and the derailleur rammed right up into the 42t gear. :( @stompandgo Have you considered...

To be fair, if you are counting sales/prior model year pricing then Santa Cruz lists the Apex flat bar at $5100 and the AXS model at $6200 right now on their site. They did seem to raise the list price this year, but you can find them listed at 10% off every day and 15-20% pretty regularly.

From a stop at the Locks earlier this week. And a heron, from another stop at the Locks - watched him fish for about 20 minutes.

It has a different mounting system, so they would probably need a new frame. So maybe a sslr or xslr model? Also interested in this drive unit, especially now that they've had a couple years to work out the kinks with the hpr50. It makes a LOT of sense in countries with 25kph limits, but...

I think it looks like a pretty good placement regardless. Yes Stefan, Bosch uses a rigid hinged split ring with a screw to tighten. A 22mm with a 3mm gap is probably a better fit than trying to shim down a much bigger ring in that area. I did something similar on my bike, its just a lot more...

I believe RWGPS is built on OpenStreetMaps data for it's layers, so by definition it is crowd sourced. It can lead to strange errors, like the underwater trails in my local dive park being tagged as bikeable, but it also means you can potentially correct errors by registering and submitting tag...

@Jeremy McCreary Try the OSM layers to see if something shows there. Or you can check OSM directly and see if there are any tags on the feature

Hopefully that continues. A few months ago Komoot sold out to Italian company Bending Spoons who has since laid off about 85% of the employees.

Very interesting Stefan. The part of my brain that handles integrals and differentials atrophied long ago but what you're positing makes sense. I can only speak for the Bosch implementation, but there is 1 clear difference from what you put forward in the above: the estimated range left...
