    Vado SL 4.0 with a suspension fork?

    The Skitch GX bikes come with the Rudy suspension fork. I know I've seen some commuter bikes with them, but I can't remember which ones.

    They won't sell a non-Specialized dealer one for half price, much less four.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    That's called a wheelie bike.

    We got four Turbo Levos in for service from one owner last week. All have dead batteries. New replacements from Specialized are $1,699 each. You read that right, $1,699 EACH. We cannot charge the customer that kind of ridiculous money.

    Washington State's new ebike laws just passed.

    Every single motor vehicle sold today in the US can break the speed limit, by a lot. Every single one of them requires a license, registration, and insurance. Every single one of them is subject to speed enforcement, and speed enforcement is common. When motor vehicles have collisions with other...

    Eurobike 2026 ebike news

    There has been a trend over the past several decades where large manufacturing companies have been reducing their expense on trade shows, as they have lost their purpose. It used to be a place where new products were debuted, but also, demand was gauged, deals were cut, and orders were taken...

    Remember that Pinarello-Q36.5 is a ProTeam, not WorldTour. That's crazy money for them. Maybe they plan on stepping up a notch.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    So they will be synchronized by you. That means that when both motors are engaged, they will be fighting each other, right? How do dual hub motor bikes deal with that? Is there a special dual motor controller to keep them in sync? I'm not busting you, I sincerely don't know how these systems work.

    How are you going to synchronize the motors?

    Cyclingflash ranks the top three GC as Tadej, Remco, and Jonas in that order. That, and the pseudo-TTT first stage ought to fire up Visma. The TTT in the first stage will be run as a TTT, but each rider will be scored separately. This essentially makes the race a 20km leadout train, with each...

    The team car with the leaders is rarely more than a minute back. The PCP (President of the Commissaire's Panel, i.e. Chief Referee) directs the flow of team cars in front of him. Plans are also discussed on the bus before the start.

    It's part of the "new era" of pro cycling, the post blood doping era. While I am not naive enough to believe that riders aren't cheating with drugs, the biggest difference between the Armstrong era and now is the focus on the power meter and nutrition. The DS in the team car literally has data...

    Affini wasn't a major player like Wout, Campanaerts, or Kuss, but it is a loss. Best to him in his recovery.

    The Townie Go was specifically designed for this kind of flat foot, bolt upright riding position, with no extenders needed.
