    The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson Netflix Documentary

    He lied during his first police interrogation. When asked if there were guns in the house, he said that there was one, his, and it had never been fired. When asked again later, he revealed that there were two, and that the other one belonged to Kristin. He should have gone to jail as an...

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    Yes, you have the removal tool and the whip. There is no reason for any cassette cogs to be loose unless they were installed incorrectly. The cogs "lock" into each other with grooves on the back side. They are different sizes, so they should only stack up flush one way. If not, something is...

    The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson Netflix Documentary

    This past weekend I watched this Netflix documentary that goes over the circumstances that led to her death in 2023. Mo was a promising, young gravel racer who ended up dating Colin Strickland, a well known, successful gravel racer. I knew of this situation and followed it while it was going on...

    I won't ride without it. I upgraded from the first generation RTL510. I posted a thread about it somewhere.

    He goes by AJ in the US. 2023 US National Junior Road Champion. Multiple UCI road wins. I was shocked that they made him #1 on the team for this race as he is so young, only 20 years old. I will be watching.

    Jonas nearly died there two years ago. I don't suspect that he will be back. HBO Max puts their race schedule up a bit at a time.

    You will need a cassette removal tool appropriate for your cassette lockring type, and a chain whip.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Here's my take as someone who works in a shop a couple of days a week. Some shops have limited storage. Not enough to keep all of their workload onsite. We don't have that problem, but some smaller shops do. So they schedule their drop-offs to keep their storage areas rotating. Some shops have...

    Seriously. He's a world class talent that rides like a Cat 5.

    What is the water temp at this time of year? Ours is in the mid-40's F.

    Remco should stick to time trials and stay away from roundabouts.

    He'll have six weeks to recover. I don't know. This will certainly be a factor.

    That DT Swiss freehub is HG spline (not HG Spline L2, 12 speed only), just by looking at it. Your 11 speed chain, cassette, and lockring should fit just fine. The 24mm internal width is probably wider than you already have. 40's should be ok on that rim. I run 40's on a 25mm internal Shimano...

    I didn't watch it, but it sounds like the same movie I would expect. Congrats to Tadej. Wout hasn't looked great this year, but hopefully he will be coming into form after this. Sepp Kuss didn't didn't look great at Paris-Nice either. Why is this important? Because the rider with the best chance...

    I would think so. You may lose some bite at the start of travel. MTB brakes tend to be more precise. With the XTR, I get pad contact just after the lever moves. GRX can engage later. Once you get used to it, I think you'll be fine.

    Not in my experience. Price level for price level, there may be some differences. For example, one manufacturer may have calipers with finned brake pads. For your kind of riding, they're unnecessary.

    Like Shimano, SRAM has various levels of brakes to meet price points. I have not seen more issues with SRAM than any other brand.

    stompandgo's Pinarello Nytro E5 Allroad build thread

    I made a few changes since I last posted in this thread. A while back I made a custom Garmin Varia mount out of a sheet of HDPE that attaches to the SKS rack. I sized it for the RTL510 but the RV820 looks pretty good on it. I also changed the saddle to one my fitter recommended, a Selle...
