    Brilliant ride by Remco. It's early, but he looks very good. That attack was perfectly timed.

    concerns with ebikes laws and ways to improve them

    I did tons of group rides when I was racing, and after I retired. A lot of them were worlds type rides that were flat out. Always on roads. Never on bike baths or MUPS. It's way too dangerous for everyone, and it's a really bad look for your club that's from the area.

    Peacock has the ASO races, shown in the yellow rows above. I'm watching Bessages ATM. UCI 2.1, 4 WT, the rest are ProTeam and Conti.

    I can't seem to leave anything alone, so I always buy the tool.

    NBC usually broadcasts the final stage of the TdF. Peacock is the streaming arm of NBC. Right now I am subscribed to Peacock and HBO Max. There are a LOT of cycling races on HBO Max, a lot more than in the chart. That was representative of "Key WT Races". I have some catching up to do.

    Looks like RCS/Iris signed with HBO Max for the US.

    I'm traveling so I will be brief. In my opinion, Remco never had any tactical sense. Zero. None. To get to that level without it is both remarkable and sinful. I would love to see him gain these skills. He sure has the motor.

    Light vs regular full suspension ebikes

    I have one Bosch tool left in the stable, an AC powered jigsaw. It was always one of the best, and still is. I use it for tight handiwork in wood. It's basically in semi-retirement as I only use it every few years. It's not worth investing in my battery platforms (M12 and Rigid) to replace it.

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    That bottom bracket is not right. It's probably designed for a 68mm square taper spindle. I would try moving the NDS spacer over to the other side, assuming that the DS BB cup has enough threads to engage it. If not, you may have to rethink your crank setup.

    New Jersey Would Be Foolish To Require E-Bike Insurance & Registration

    This is what happens when you don't have a classification system that separates e-bike types. All of them are lumped together and legislated on as one thing.

    Vacation planning with E-Bikes

    I used to plan the family vacations where we traveled out of the area. For anyplace new, I planned half of the trip. The other half was wide open.

    Light vs regular full suspension ebikes

    Bosch will not change the region or class, even if you bought it in Europe and now live in the US.

    Discover 3 hub drive

    I work at a pretty big Velotric dealer in New England. We stock chargers and batteries, but every other part we buy directly as needed. Dealers cannot be expected to stock rear wheels, controllers, displays, etc. When you pay <$2K for a nice e-bike, you are buying something much better than an...

    Light vs regular full suspension ebikes

    Stefan, you're either using language to make a point, or you are just plain wrong. Bosch makes drive units to meet specifications that they specify, using input from the market and their customers. They design and build a drive unit to meet that market segment and demand. For any particular...

    The UCI does not sell the broadcast rights. The race organizers (ASO, RCS, etc.) get to make those deals, and they use media agents to do the negotiations. ASO is in a multi-year contract with NBC/Peacock. RCS used Bleacher Report last year, but switched this year to Iris Sports Media. I believe...

    ShockStop Stem on Vado SL

    I have them in 45mm. They run at 50mm on wide rims like my RX880.

    It's also a ProSeries race, so no more than 70% of the teams (riders) can be World Tour teams (riders). This US coverage thing is a royal pain. Most ASO races are on Peacock. The RCS races, previously on HBO Max, are not yet committed by anyone. That means no UAE Tour (World Tour) coverage in...

    It can be changed if the bike manufacturer allows it.

    stompandgo's Pinarello Nytro E5 Allroad build thread

    The difference in cost between the MT800 and CL900 was under $10 USD. I like the way that the black looks over the white, and it's about 10g lighter.
