    Tour '25

    I don't know of any one site that collates what you want. Wikipedia has tables for World Tour teams and manufacturers by year. I missed yesterday's stage as I was working another bike race. I was happy to see that Groves took advantage of The Disaster's disaster and won a stage for Alpecin...

    e-MTB riders — how do you plan your rides? Quick 5-10min survey

    My youngest son is an Industrial Designer who specializes in accessibility. I don't ride MTB trails (yet). I've played with Trailforks. Good luck with your project.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    Interesting. EZPass for bikes? Who would have thought that was possible. We are having the same battle here over the new bridges to Cape Cod. One side wants bike lanes, the other doesn't. One of the current bridges has an elevated 8 foot wide sidewalk. That's good enough for me. Why take away...

    Stuck at the end -L or Start -XL of bike size.

    That's me. Bike racer build.

    Stuck at the end -L or Start -XL of bike size.

    I have a lot of experience fitting riders by eye, as well as beginner level experience with the Selle Italia IDMatch computerized fitting system. My comments will be based on this. The problem with size charts is that they assume that everyone that's 6'1" is built the same way, but they're not...

    If I came off that way, I apologize. I'm not discounting a Visma viral outbreak. I do expect a team with the resources like Visma to do everything they can to prevent the spread across the team, even if it means no team bus, separate cars, hotels, dedicated soigneurs, rotating mechanics, whatever.

    stompandgo's Cannondale Tesoro Neo X Speed build

    I don't want to know.

    Great analysis. Lipo got a second wind when first and second came back to him. I can't think of a better motivator than that. He found the strength when he needed it to keep the white jersey and the podium. Bora can only keep Lipo if Roglic leaves or takes a pay cut. He'll be 36 years old next...

    stompandgo's Cannondale Tesoro Neo X Speed build

    The Neo X Speed isn't like the other Tesoro X1, X2, and X3. The geometry is more like an MTB, which is very different than a gravel bike. The biggest issue is that the head tube, and the resulting steerer tube length, is too short. There's a 5cm difference between the two bikes. The Tesoro comes...

    I'm glad that sh*& show is over.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    MA has one of the most progressive left governors in the nation. She has been plowing gazillions of dollars into e-bike subsidies for residents near the poverty line. It would not make sense to be giving away $1,500 e-bike vouchers only to ban them from the rail trails.

    Absolutely. I was having this same conversation with my boss on Wednesday. He asked me why Visma cannot keep up with Jonas, and why they aren't there when he needs them the most. I told him that it can only be one of two reasons. They are either too tired/sick/flat to be able to recover and be...

    What kind of camera and lens do you ride with?

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Interesting. My current bike weighs over 55 pounds. The assistance starts tapering at 26.5mph, is minimal at 27mph, and is all done at 28mph. I have only been able to get it up to 29.5mph on the flat. I just can't hit 30mph.

    Getting our first e-Bike. Need suggestions

    We sell about 6 per week. The only service tickets that I can remember were one broken display and flats. We still sell and service Aventon but their volume has been eaten by Velotric.

    Nope. Visma looked knackered after the stage. TP looked like he was ready for a burger and a beer.

    Have you reviewed a TQ-HPR50 bike of any kind?

    Getting our first e-Bike. Need suggestions

    I was told yesterday that Velotric is going to release a dealer diagnostic soon. This puts them above many of the direct sale bikes where the only way we can diagnose them is to ring out cables for opens and swap parts ($$$).

    Libo attacked to catch the two man early break, held it, blew up, then held it to the finish.
