    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    BTP (Beyond the Peloton, a subscription email newsletter) is predicting that Pogi will attack the crap out of Visma on Montjuic today, and take the stage, but maybe not the yellow. This is a similar circuit as was used in the Volta Catalunya, but with a harder finish. They ride it 3x before the...

    Just for fun...

    I heard that the ship's auxiliary battery pack needs replacing, at the cost of 1,799,000 euros, and can only be sourced from Specialized.

    What an incredible start to the Tour.

    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    There was a nice sequence of Groupama-FDJ doing this stage by the book, towing their GC hopeful Gregoire at the back, with riders dropping off and back in the gap in front of him. That makes for an easier physical ride for the leader, but it's much tougher mentally for him to get that slot open...

    Cheers on the 4th!

    Mrs. Stomp and I started the day with a walk on the beach. It was packed, but we have a resident only sticker, so no parking problems. Later today, we will meet some friends in Falmouth for a midday barbeque.

    New wheels for Vado SL 4.0 EQ 2021 ?

    You can have a custom wheel built, but there are plenty of off the shelf wheels available that should fit your SL. Like Stafan says, you should find out why your current OEM wheels aren't working for you first.

    Specialized drop prices in North America for Levo range. Permanent drop due to competitive market.

    In the US, most gravel races, with and without an e-bike field, are unsanctioned. Dirty Kanza, Belgian Waffle, Unbound, Overland, and most of the rest, are unsanctioned.

    Intermittent problem

    I swear there was a brand called Velotrix that doesn't exist anymore. I could be full of it, though.

    Coverage starts at 10am here on the East Coast of the US. INRNG is also my favorite cycling blog. There's not a lot of cheerleading, just great observation. I read it year round, and I'm also in the comments. I use my real name though.

    Specialized drop prices in North America for Levo range. Permanent drop due to competitive market.

    Specialized will do something for the dealers. They won't eat all of that.

    Trek Domane+ SLR 7 uneven weight distribution?

    Understood. Tubeless tires should not leak sealant through the sidewalls and tread unless they are irreparably damaged.

    Trek Domane+ SLR 7 uneven weight distribution?

    I wasn't even a member when this thread showed up. You must use tubeless ready tires with tubeless valves and sealant. Anything can be used in an emergency, but not long term. Sealant should be removed and replaced yearly.

    The transition

    Well, we do discuss the set temps. 😁 Smart thermostats are very popular around here with all of the seasonal housing. So are wifi cameras.

    The transition

    You have more trust in your delivery company than I do. Overrides are easily overridden. Nobody but me is going to adjust my thermostat.

    Only the GX comes with a suspension fork.

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I have not ridden a lot this year due to all sorts of competing priorities. Yesterday, I decided to bag the Tuesday Night Hammerfest and go for a longer base ride out to the Beachcomber in Wellfleet. Lecount Hollow Beach, a few miles from the Beachcomber. Although it's high season now, it...

    Never install a smart thermostat from your power delivery company.
