Yes it looks like Hunt has shuttered Cairn, certainly for the moment. Hunt themselves, like the industry as a whole, are going through rocky times but big enough to weather it I think. Great bikes though, very sturdy and clever design. Passed my one on to friend who has a back roads commute to...

Forset of Bowland - had to google maps that, long way from down here on Dartmoor! Yeah I use On One swept back bars for a more upright position on my Vado SL 4, plus 44mm WTB Byways for the Devon Lanes & Bridleways, adds a bit of cush, though not enough for long distance on a track like you...

ENOUGH OF ALL THIS OLD MAN WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE SHITE! Here's some good ol' cycling. Bikes! Remember them? People having fun for no money no celebrity no followers nothing but LETS GOOOOO!!

In the UK daytime TV has been swamped with ads for the elderly like cheerful people discussing cremation or harrowing charity adverts showing whipped and starved dogs. Advertising on TV (daytime) has become crazy cheap as everyone deserts terrestrial channels for the interwebs, I don't tend to...

Yeah he's a bit of a spiky character for sure. Sport needs characters like this though, better than winning riders droning on about watts. Cav and Wiggins equally spiky & didn't do either any harm.

an see why you need front sus! The roman's probably had something similar for their carts! I can't see why front sus wouldn't work, sounds like you've taken into account the change in geo. As a bonus it means you could run a bigger front tyre asa well. Loads of gravel bikes now have 50mm, it...

Shame it wasn't during the Giro. Especially being Pinarello! Jealous though, some trip.

N my head Spesh higher command are becoming those two old boys from Trading Places, "12 Grand Randolph, who'd have believed the plebs would pay that!"

An EMTB with racks for bikepacking, basically and the absense of mudguards say mad max desert bikepacking. Not up the Highlands or Kerry! Only 12 grand apparently.

Depends. If the noise is getting louder that's not normal. My motor (Vado SL 4.0) was replaced when mechanic test rode it and then a new bike from shop floor and said my 2 year old motor whine was considerably louder, indicating a wear problem and Spesh replaced it under warranty.

Missed that. I mean saw him dropped but just thought he'd down a big stint as per team plan?

It's more nuanced situ. The reason it's going up is the extra demand from developing nations but the rate it's going up has slowed dramatically and renewables as demonstrated by that UK graph, are sky rocketing. I dealt with China's situation earlier in this thread vis a vi coal and...

Look around you. Take farms, they are more worried about climate change then anyone and are seeing the increased fuel prices as a real threat. Solar uptake is growing, all those winter sheds. Farms make ideal Solar/wind/battery HQs - the farm vehicles don't need to go far and so battery tech is...

Great TTT. I was terrible at TTs! And never did a team one, but I absolutely love watching them & I hate when the big tours don't have them. I'm not sure about the rule change from the time of 5th finisher down to 1st. But I can see the interest in having the dropped riders time counting...

Ha now you're changing the goalposts. The vehicles numbers change month on month, you have to factor in the movement over ten, 15 years and it's all moving one way. Slaps head - thats exactly why EVs are making such a difference! Get petrol and diesel down to Norwegian numbers and the numbers...

Heres another Oxford Uni major calculation called: Decarbonising the energy system by 2050 could save trillions - Oxford study https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2022-09-14-decarbonising-energy-system-2050-could-save-trillions-oxford-study

This whole tread should be knocked on the head at this point it so full of Fossil fuel propaganda and cimate disinformation. It's incredible, and on an ebike forum 😂 Is it Facebook breeding all this bullshit? I'm not on facebook other then checking the bike marketplaces and I'm not on twitter...

I hope Jeremy you are putting all this new found road racing expertise to good use by boring the pants of your friends & family at the Bbqs!!

Watch this:

yesss... kinda, in grand tours certainly, they either get caught or they don't. There was that stage where sprint teams were pissed off about motos helping draft the breakaway or something. But I'd say by law of averages, the breakaways get caught. Its that gamble that makes a flat dull stage...
