    Light vs regular full suspension ebikes

    The #1 "problem", at least for me, with the Avinox system, is that it is 100% dependent on your phone app to use. All of the bike data that is collected gets sent straight to China. You cannot even start the bike without your phone paired to the bike. Not enough is said about this.

    You're gonna love it once you get the right elastomer.

    New California Senate Bill 1167

    The Amflow PL maximum assist speed is set at the Class 1 maximum of your country. However, if you buy it from an authorized dealer (not grey market out of country), you can switch it to Class 3 on the computer. The new Amflow model is out within a few days. We will also see DJI powered bikes...

    That's very dangerous for me. I love their tools. I already have their bag.

    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    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...

    shock absorbing seat posts

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

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    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.

    Winter Sucks

    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...

    Motor Doping is Possible

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

    Motor Doping is Possible

    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.

    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.

    Motor Doping is Possible

    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...
