Today I helped out a friend who promotes an offroad event called the Mix Tape in Southeastern MA. It is billed as having a mix of pavement, gravel, hard pack, and single track. It's a ride that has race segments with prizes for the winners. No commissaires, no timing equipment, just the honor...

From the development and new team perspective, Enzo Hincapie will be riding for the USA in the U19 Nations Cup version of Paris-Roubaix. I was in the red car behind him when he won a stage of the Green Mountain Stage Race in VT. He's joined by Jacob Hines, a fellow EF Education teammate at the...

He will go against Tadej in LBL. Jonas doesn't do the classics. Tadej isn't doing the Giro, at least, yet, so maybe the Tour will see all three. It's too early to tell for the other options.

What a great finish to a difficult stage in awful conditions. Congratulations to Paul Seixas and AJ August. I am so proud of both of them. This is going to be an exceptional year for road racing. I will be riding sweep for a gravel race tomorrow and will miss Paris-Roubaix. My predicition is...

I'm watching the replay of Stage 5 this morning. I have work to do but I can't stop watching the final climb. Seixas, Izagirre, Roglic, and Lipowitz battling it out for the lead. I don't want to look away. Romo crashed because he ran into Lipowitz. Supposedly a fan pushed him. I didn't see it...

No way that cobbles are removed from racing. They are a part of many, many races in Europe, not just the UWT races. P-R is special because those roads are not really maintained anymore. They are still around for farmers and cyclists to use. There are lots of cobbled roads, especially near...

There's some truth to that.

I have the HPR50, which has two mechanical clutches. When I ride with the system on and assist off, I can go for miles without the range changing at all. If there is any "drag" associated in the system, it doesn't appear to me that the system is compensating for it.

On the TW HPR50 bikes that I've worked on, that would require pulling the motor and removing the battery and cable. You would have to swap over the battery cable to connect the motor and charge port. That's the physical work. I believe that the controller would fault if it found that the main...

Is REI doing the vendor management, diagnostics, warranty management, and the labor? If so, good on them.

Looks like it's starting to green up over there.

Pretty Pinarello Prince. The owner keeps it up well.

TQ really isn't taking advantage of their market niche. The cost of their components aren't any higher than their competition.

This was a great watch. It opens with a mechanic cleaning up a Benotto. OK, nice bike. Campy SR/NR. You get to look at it for about 5 minutes. Then the context switches to a guy loading one of my Holy Grail bikes, a Gios, onto a trunk rack. Then he loads another. And another. Closeup after...

Great racing today. It should get serious tomorrow.

Stick with Deore unless you want to reduce weight. Brakes, what are your priorities? How is the Silca better than R&R Gold?

All Avinox motors are 750W until you hit the boost button. This makes them "illegal" for e-bike racing under USA Cycling, but enforcement is minimal. Is California going to publish a "banned bikes" list? I see a mess coming.

They are still 750W rated. Boost mode isn't figured into that. I get what you are saying, though. I haven't seen any e-MTB's at all on the roads around here. Our customers that are buying e-MTB's want them for off road racing and riding.

Rumoured, not necessarily AMFLOW.
