Thanks — a good backup plan!

Tubeless Pathfinder Pro tires no longer available in 700x38 mm size My SL 1 EQ (with stock fenders) has run tubeless 700x38 mm Pathfinder Pro tires since 2024. Unfortunately, the rear got damaged today and has to be replaced. Problem is, the 38 mm size was discontinued when the Pathfinder Pro...

Might not be a problem on a steady diet of smooth tarmac. I often ride on bumpy hardpack, and the neighborhood entrance/exit has jarring cobble I can't avoid. Ruined the telephoto focus on 3 handlebar-mounted Samsung Note20s in a row before learning of the vibration risk, all on a QuadLock...

I asked Gemini AI the question at the top of this screenshot. The beginning of its response follows. Use the same question to see the rest. Unfortunately, a mount damper tuned to protect against handlebar vibrations on motorcycles may not be protective on bicycles. This has to do with...

Thanks, guys! Will give the Cycplus AS2 Ultra a try. If it turns out to need a Clik adapter, I know where to find one now.

Good to know about the Clik adapter, as I'm thinking about replacing my CO2 setup with a mini electric pump. Several roadies I know swear by their CycPlus pumps. Problem is, I've never used a CO2 inflator or electric mini pump in an actual field repair. Any thoughts? I have 700 x 38 mm tubeless...

You're suggesting that they might have impounded the bike for more definitive testing while allowing Wiebes to continue the race on a provisional basis? Sounds like a fair solution to me — especially since Wiebes herself probably had no direct involvement in the alleged infraction. Wonder why...

Yes, the words of the regulations are clear. The proper way to interpret and apply the output of their measurement device may not be.

So did severe anemia help or hurt your swing? ;^}

Yes, rules are rules, but scales also have finite accuracies. According to Cyclingnews.com, the manufacturer of the scale the UCI uses claims an accuracy of ±20 g. With a mandatory penalty so severe, that must also be taken into account. In which case, I think Wiebes should've been given the...

He shows it in the new parts and maybe the functions sections See video description. Unfortunately, there's no iconic freewheeling sound.

Well, just found my next bike, and the missus said go for it!! Skip to 15:22 for an overview of this large, roughly 1:2.5 LEGO scale model of a single-speed (but not fixie) road bike with modern frame and wheels. Sariel, the reviewer, is a world-renown designer/builder of working LEGO...

Correction weights falling off is the most plausible narrative I've heard so far — provided that's physically possible. Was this chainring change some kind of last-minute rush-rush thing?

Dauphine (aka Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) coming up June 7-14, all 8 stages streaming on Peacock in the US. No idea who's racing. From ProCyclingUK.com... Looks exciting!

After reading half a dozen accounts of this disqualification, still feels like there's a big missing piece to this puzzle. Since it makes no sense that the bike would be intentionally underweight in a stage like this, I think there should be an independent investigation of the weighing...

Congrats on your first race! I should try it sometime — if for no other reason, just to practice shrugging off humiliation. ;^} If you've tried other ways to use assist, and you keep coming back to lowest assist in all these situations, that's entirely your call. As long as we ride...

We've had responsibly ridden gas dirt bikes for decades. Have yet to see one on an MUP or in a bike lane. If this e-dirt-bike ends up in those ranks, great — good riddance to all that 2-stroke noise and pollution. But if it ends up on public streets and bikeways through the actions of Juiced...

I've heard no explanation, and I came in close to the start of coverage. Vastly prefer the yellow kit — helps me keep an eye on them. Finishing up the first, largely ceremonial lap. Let the racing begin!

Hoping for no mishaps today, just straight racing. Torn between rooting for Milan and Ganna in this final stage. By my count, only 2 or 3 stages went as predicted. Chaos prevailed otherwise.

Did that with my 1st ebike — a fairly upright 70 lb hub-drive commuter. This was my 1st bike purchase after 20+ years of very little riding. Tested a medium, the only size in stock. In retrospect, I should have held out for the greater reach of the large frame. But I was reluctant to add the...
