Another great Felt 😍

I've been watching Sardena, a UCI 2.1 race. That's three steps down from World Tour (.UWT, .Pro, .2, .1), so it's full of neo-pros who are making the most out of their TV time, racing aggressively. It's a lot like domestic elite racing, but with TV coverage. The teams are familiar, but the...

I love my EeSilk Carbon. I don't want any bounce when pedaling, or compression when I hit the gas.

That's where I bought my Cannondale. They charge $99 to build, prep for shipping, box (custom box), and ship the bike. We sell Cannondale at the shop (I was not working there when I bought this bike), so I know what they had to do to get it to that point.

Yeah, I've got a bit of work to do there. They feel fine to my hands.

We got hit very hard on Cape Cod, especially mid-cape where I live. We got 12-14" of wet snow, but what did the damage were the gale force winds (73mph) that took down trees everywhere. We were sitting in the dark in the living room listening to the cracks and bangs, hoping that they would not...

Inspections are done in an impound area near rider staging. Once the bike goes in, it cannot come out.

There is no policy, procedure, or area set up at each finish to impound bikes after the race. That doesn't mean that there couldn't be.

Looks like the hangar is ok.

Del Toro crosses safe, Tiberi and Plapp round out the GC podium. Milan wins the final stage, his third win, Pickrell 9th. I was very impressed with the young American team. They were in the action in every stage, against World Tour competition. Their next race is Kuurne on 3/1.

600 x-ray checks could be done in one stage race. They don't drag the machine around everywhere, and that's just for WT races. The UCI and the NGB's rely on the iPad magnetometer and the iPad FLIR camera, something that's cheap and portable. TT bikes are jigged, either mechanically or...

I was in Brooklyn last week and the sidewalks were a complete disaster.

54/40 and 11-34 is the maximum configuration available with Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 Di2. Racers typically do not use the small front chainring with the smaller cogs, even though today's drivetrains can handle it with no rubbing. The only time I've ever used them is when I did not want to risk a...

The Pinarello brake upgrades are finished. XTR M9200 XC levers M9200 post mount caliper and TRP front flat mount to post mount adapter MT805 rear flat mount rear caliper directly mounted, new BH90 hose. I'm not a big fan of adapters, but the TRP was the cleanest looking one that I could...

It depends on what groupset that they are using on any particular bike in any particular event. The UCI tried restricting gearing to 54/11 last year, in an attempt to slow down fast descents, but, to my knowledge, it did not make it into the regulations, mainly because SRAM Red AXS uses a 10T...

Yeah, he was in the big ring on a 10% grade. He's young. Teams usually report team composition a week or two before the event, and may make changes right up until the first start. Changes after that require permission from the organizer. I could see him as another Jay Vine, or the lead attacker...

It's OK to post spoilers here. Also, this was the queen stage. There's a dead flat 149km stage tomorrow. An outstanding ride by Del Toro, but I expect that from him. He's now leading GC. His post-race interview was classy and to the point. Luke Plapp rode his butt off to finish second on GC. He...

Your shifting issue is probably caused by your chain being a few links short. That's what I see from this picture.

I live Mid-Cape and have ridden almost every rail trail here on two different Class 3 e-bikes. No issues whatsoever. The original post is 8 years old. Lots of things change in 8 years. As long as you are behaving yourself, staying at least close to the 15mph speed limit, and respecting other...
