Glad you're heading toward a resolution now. What went wrong with the motor?

Yes, Friday! I do watch the full replays every evening but still enjoy the live racing and result that morning. Helps my relatively inexperienced race-fan brain process the stage as a whole. Do these races have any effect on the way you ride at the time?

Can't wait for tomorrow's Giro Stage 1! Jonas sounds ready. And he hinted that some new tactics involving Campanaerts may come into play. Not so eager for the sleep deprivation, though. As a lifelong nightowl, I can force myself to get up at 0600 to catch the last 50-100 km of each stage live...

So much blue in your world! Works for me. Since moving to coastal SoCal 4 yrs ago, we've gone totally coastal, and not by any intention. The blue of sea and sky just begets more and more blue everywhere else — in our home, clothing, etc. On our bikes. Even on the the dog. If you want to...

Absolutely. The "let ebike riders do whatever they want" experiment has clearly failed and now threatens legal ebike access to bike infrastructure everywhere. And the old "it's the riders, not the bikes" argument is just too simplistic. Let's face it, few of the yahoos who give legal ebikes a...

I can see a place for the BBB valve, but I'll stick with my Cliks. The main BBB downside for me: I'd still be futzing with that !@#%^&* Shrader lever — which I find even more annoying than futzing with Presta valves. With Cliks, I'm not futzing with anything. Soooo easy to keep the tires...

The mechanic could easily have charged me another hour for the time he spent putting together the brake package to my budget, explaining the pros and cons of each part, talking to Shimano twice, calling about changes he thought we should make, etc. I'm sure most of his customers would've said...

I take it that "nose manual" is polite Canadian for a punch in the schnoz?

Then you're really not going to understand the new Charmin Ex-Lax Preparation H team just announced. ;^}

SL 1 brake upgrade report After 60-70 mi of testing on some pretty steep terrain and a variety of surfaces, happy to say that my all-Shimano brake upgrade appears to be a success. New rotors and calipers. Compared to the stock Tektro brakes, much better stopping power, vastly better...

I live in a place (coastal SoCal) crawling with both serious (unmotorized) roadies and ebikers of all kinds. In my experience, we all get along. Never once heard 'cheater'. I even ride my fitness ebike with a longstanding roadie group. They're just happy I keep up, however that comes about. So...

Too bad about that drab, nondescript new kit. As a TV fan, I really like kits — like the Visma yellow or UAE black on white — that stand out from the crowd.

Don't know about the wifi hotspot part, but bar-mounting a GPS mapping device (with no fancy camera to protect) and keeping your good phone safely tucked away in a pocket is a good solution. Lost telephoto focus on 3 high-end phone cameras before figuring out not to put such cameras on my bars...

Ours might have a firmer legal basis. Carlsbad's enacted a lot of ebike-related laws since 2022. Most have been reasonable responses to the explosion of ebikes in public places. Sad to see this new application, however. They might be trying to protect the track from the kids who think that...

I have the Joe Blow — excellent all-around floor pump! I've only had occasion to use the reservoir feature twice for seating tubeless tires, but it worked well both times. No room for any compressor in my small garage.

Yeah, we had a sign like that go up at a nearby park just in the last month. Grrrrr. In your case, they're telling us who screwed it up. The graphic they chose for an "ebike" is a Surron-like e-moto. The dishonest e-moto manufacturers and dealers who've perpetuated that false equivalence are...

Applicable to the current situation on sooooo many levels.

When doctors recommend cycling to patients who need exercise, wonder how many realize that coffee and pastries come with the package?

Somebody's gotta be the barbarians — and realistically, who's gonna do a better job? We step up with pride! At least we drive on the right side of the road. ;^}

I believe lithium ion batteries bring their own oxidizers to a fire. Is smothering all that helpful?
