    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    I just did a grocery run on my Creo, I used the money I could have spent on a clanker/clunker bike for a Hiplok, which requires about 6 cutting wheels to cut through. But also no room for yet another bike. I have a Quick rack and panniers. the rack mounting points are built into the Creo, and...

    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    Question for you long time pro racing fans, as I am a new spectator.... Were there more mechanicals this year than in recent Paris Roubaix? It would seem that with all of the bike, wheel and tire advancements the bikes would be much more durable for this race. Or are the riders pushing the bikes...

    @Rás Cnoic, I installed the Wolf Tooth side by side adapter the night before the ride. Wolf Tooth is awesome... they have so many good ideas. I already had the B-Rad 2 base to allow my water bottle to move down so I could fit a frame bag on my Hakka. So this side by side adapter was added to...

    I don't know. but I feel the extra weight under me in responsiveness. I have been riding stronger than ever so I am out of the saddle and pumping up some inclines with low power. The baseline 31lb bike feels great. Doing the same, loaded with RE battery and water and rack+bag is noticeable. Not...

    Well, I was a little bored, so I weighed my bike…since my Creo was in the same mode as my big ride, with two water bottles and tools and stuff in the trunk bag. And it is 10lbs heavier. so 41lb RtoRide Oh…I just realized I had the flat pedal adapter installed on my XT SPD pedals….I went grocery...

    Thanks for the reply Jeremy. I know you have the previous gen motor, so was not sure if the app software was tied to the motor. but you know your bike and it is great to have control! 38lb RTR weight is decent for alloy. I am still trying to figure the % to make it the same as my Ibis Hakka. I...

    Awesome Jeremy! Great mileage! you had tons of battery to spare. What is your ready to ride weight? I know you have a rack and tool bag. so everything. Also, what power is your Sport power setting? The default 50%? I have been moving mine around in the app between 45 and 60% for Sport. My...

    Garmin RearVue 820 Radar Light impressions

    Here are my thoughts on the new Varia Rearvue 820...is good, but not great. I have about 4 long rides with it so far. Two of those rides had another cyclist riding with me. I have used the Garmin Varia RTL 515 for about 3 years, with a Garmin Edge 530, Edge 1030 and Wahoo Bolt 1. The good...

    I wanted to ride to the coast from my house instead of driving over with the bike and riding. It is about a 45 minute drive one way. So, I packed a bit of food for lunch and loaded the rack. I installed a Wolf Tooth Double Bottle Cage Adapter. So cool. I needed it since I was using the Battery...

    Rode over to Arastradero Park from my house. Had a short break at the pond. The weather cooled down, so it was a nice mellow ride. 26 miles, 1700ft only a few miles on dirt trails.

    I tried a new route yesterday. I knew there would be some climbing but this was intense! up to 16% grade. I used the micro tune setting to go to 90%, since my Turbo is set to 70%. I returned using a familiar trail but since I did not air down my tires at 40psi, I almost crashed in the rutted...

    Jeremy... coincidence, I had some tough 16% grades on my ride today too. also 16 miles! pix soon. What brake calipers do you have? The SRAM Apex on my Creo 2 are terrible. it is well documented online. I had mine bled after 3 rides. still crappy. terrible modulation. lots of noise, even after...
