Hard to say, it is Roubaix and famous for punctures, mechanicals etc. There did seem to be a lot this year so interested to see if there is any autopsy or thoughts from racing/industry people. A couple of years ago it was all about the horror of hookless rims and tyres rolling off causing some...

Wrong clip - doing this on phone:

Just watched a review of the Zendit! Love the skinny tubes and that racing green colour. Very cool looking. I'm also curious by this new Swiss bike, no doubt it'll be completely buried by the Amflow news but both the interesting carbon frame and this new lightweight powerful motor look very...

Gorgeous weather & looks a really fun event. I like the honour system. Your Pinarello looks a beast all dusty like that! On rough terrain that's why I like handlebar bags no worries I might lose it out of sight as I bounce along.

More pretty useless info I have stored up there!

I think that there is the divide between purely physical prowess sports (100 metre sprint etc) and skill sports (Motocross etc) In road cycling you need both and brains, it's what is special. Luck is a huge part of PR for sure and that is part of it's mix. Just because on paper you are the...

Just watching a post race interview with Pog, he looks totally cooked, never seen him cook so wrecked. This result must be a colossal disappointment. He had 3 punctures, he says. It's funny because the build up is all about tyre size, tubeless and or inserts? What PSI? All these tech...

Just saw official results MVDP; 4th at 15 seconds. So close.

So pleased for Wout. Couldn't be happier for the big guy. He's come so close in the past and been so unlucky this year. Big difference in this race to most other classics, no steep hills for Pog to kick off on, it's so flat. And Wout, Pog MVDP are all such skilful bike riders on the pave. Sorry...

Well yes, verge if there is one is smoother then cobbles though organisers often block it like in the Ronde with crash barriers right to edge of cobbles. The crown is best if the road slopes as your wheels will easily slide on the slopes. Especially when wet, like slimy rocks on the seaside.

Great for August that's 2 stages so far this year. And Seixas, future awaits. Healy had a crash earlier in week so good to see him being competitive again today. We have the same Atlantic storm rolling in here, rain next 3 days but just checked, doesn't hit a certain French town on Belgian...

The average life of an E bike motor is very mixed, it's why warranty is important. Some shocking survey results recently put motor failure rates as high as 35% of all motors. The industry needs to do better. On the other hand there has been a big increase in third party motor repair centres to...

Pog going 1x and running 38mm front tyre (Gp5000 35mm measuring 37.9mm) Rear tyre still 32mm. There were online guesses of 40mm, not far off!

Commentator on the highlights I saw said the fan made an ill advised effort to push him along, give him a boost, the result being he collided with Lipowitz. Stupid move but if correct, at least he wasn't being malicious, just an over excited idiot.

That vote would be mixed for sure! But majority of the Flemish would vote to keep them nd would fight to death to keep them! As they say in Holland those hard men "...have diamonds in their legs"! Plus you know, traditions. It's a Monument for a reason. That Sunday In Hell doc was 1976 and in...

Yes even some UK EMTB reviewers were saying this in relation to this power arms race, that it's rare you'd even need that much power and you'll rinse the battery very quickly on that boost level. Most kind of agreeing that the Bosch CX level is probably enough. Personally after coming first...

Hate to disagree with you but I think those might be two little grey Fergies. Would make sense in Scotland. Didn't get many Fords over here, Ford didn't export them instead we had Fordsons, made in England. I learnt to drive on a David Brown 880 in the early 80s, which might account for my...

Parts still damp from the fording the other day?

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Just comparing the media coverage of this new BMC bike to the huge launch of that Avinox motors yesterday. I know this is just one new bike model and the TQ40 motor came out last year, but I couldn't find one you tube review of the BMC anywhere. It's a very niche market for tiny, low powered...
