Saw exactly the same behavior with a Wahoo ACE paired with my Vado SL 1 (5.0). Unpaired and paired again several times, but no joy with any battery data. Don't recall the details, but there were other things I didn't like about the way the Wahoo recorded bike data. In the end, I unpaired the...

Maybe your center was named after Marin the place, not Marin the brand. Marin County, California — on the coast just on the other side of the Golden Gate from San Francisco — was the birthplace of the mountain bike. The fire roads and trails on and around Mt. Tamalpais were the initial proving...

Those photos bring back very fond memories of my MTB days in Marin, way back in the Late Bronze Age. West Marin's a very special place. Used to meet a buddy in Ross for our West Marin rides.

For $450 (the cost of the range extender I've been putting off), I'll back you up when you explain to your wife that you meant, of course, the "hottest girlfriend evah besides my gorgeous missus".

Have to admit, TTs aren't my cup of T. But glad to see Jorgenson looking strong after his nasty crash early in the season. Too bad about WVA — was looking forward to watching him today. Hope he's back in form tomorrow, but if today was a crash residual, probably not. Also hope the bad luck that...

The automotive industry is a good counterexample. New car dealers generally don't sell street-illegal cars, and manufacturers generally don't make them. Why was it any different with emotos?

Demi Vollering set out to win the just-completed 2026 womens Giro. And that's exactly what she did — putting 3 minutes into then-leader Van der Breggen in just the last 40 km of the final stage. Matt Stephens had an interesting day with her 10 months ago...

Review of the new LEGO road bike set by a roadie and bike tech YouTuber, ending with the all-important wife approval test as to where to put the finished model. (He fared much better than I will.) As LEGO prices go, a good value. No idea where I'll display it, but we have one on order for my...

Absolutely! Boring the pants off people with things only I'm interested in happens to be one of my centers of excellence. Ebikes, cycling, pro racing, science, math, ships, LEGO, pelicans — the list goes on and on. Just ask my wife.

Breakaways had a lot of success in both Giros, too. Is this normal?

Short answer: I mostly ride my Class 3, 240W 38 lb Vado SL 1 under 20 mph. But I use assist above 20 mph often enough that I'm glad to have the option — most commonly on descents or when the zoomies strike. Details: I obey bike speed limits and often go even slower. But I also enjoy speed when...

Stage 9 of the women's 2026 Giro did NOT disappoint. What a ride by Vollering! She put almost 3 minutes into Van Der Breggen on a stage that on the day before she described as "not a stage to gain a minute on". And a fine sprint by Longo Borghini at the end. This year's Giros — mens and womens...

Agree, at this point, I can temporize or do something radical for a long-term solution. No good middle ground.

Sanity check: New 40 mm Tracer in front, old 38 mm Pathfinder in rear? Is this crazy? Got confirmation today that my SL 1 EQ will NOT accept a 40 mm Pathfinder in the rear with the fender in place. And that LBS says a 40 mm Tracer will be no better. So to get the bike going again, my regular...

Tomorrow's Stage 9, the last in the 2026 womens Giro, should be quite interesting. Stage 8 left GC leader van der Breggen only 50 sec ahead of 2nd place Vollering. And Vollering had clearly intended to work on that gap during the 32 km lopped off the end of Stage 8 due to an ice fall hazard...

Great summit finish in the womens 2026 Giro, Stage 8. Vollering and van der Breggan got there first after a steep gruelling 18 km climb of the legendary Finestre, the last half all gravel. For once, the immense effort these riders put in showed at the finish. Van der Breggan looked totally...

All I can say is, the world would be a better place if all bionic superhumans looked like Sandra Bullock. No clue about the movie, but definitely 80s hair everywhere. I regret a lot of things from the 80s, but skipping this movie isn't one of them.

You know, it IS time! Just remembered my uneasiness with steep loose-on-hardpack descents on the Pathfinder tread with its center slick. So, if the 40mm Tracer TLR fits, I'm going to give it a try.

In another EBR thread, I learned that my tire clearance bottleneck is the screw that holds the rear rack to the rear fender. Push comes to shove, it might be possible to shorten that screw. It also bodes well for the fallback of rotating the front 38 to the back and puttingthe new 40 up front...

Thanks, will check them out as a Plan B.
