?? Somebody has to lead the peloton. Several teams were taking turns at the front to keep the break within reach but other teams didn't commit. It was basically NSN, Rose Rockets and Lidl Trek with some QuickStep. And Lidl Trek is a split GC/sprint squad so they resorted to using their GC...

Looks like the peloton underestimated the break. I really didn't think it would come down this close to the end. Lidl Trek has already used Derek Gee and their lead out man to try to pull the break back

I think it is a given that protecting mechanical moving parts from dust or water will prolong the lifespan and decrease odds of experiencing a problem. That said, I have had the Kinekt seatpost with no protection for 6 years of all weather riding in Seattle and it still performs the same as day...

You all are just trying to drive Stefan mad aren't you? @Mike Tod was talking about the Vado 3, the original subject of this thread

Btw, since MVDP and Pogi were brought up. This popped up in my feed. Remember a few years ago when Pogacar was in a two up sprint with MVDP and ended up 4th? 😆

I'm not sure that a 3 time grand tour winner and accomplished time trialist deserves hoopla for outperforming a climber who has never won anything at the pro or world tour level and who has never shown much TT prowess. Sure, Jonas could have done a bit better but a flat mostly straight TT...

I mean ... the dues have gone up significantly. In my region, prices pretty much tracked with the national average in 1985. Now the median income is about $120k and the median house price is $865k. LandoftheGiants quip about living in a park isn't so far off. At 1985's house price to annual...

You gotta stop doing laps at the bike park with your Allant :)

I always mess these things up - I celebrated Drive to Work Day on Wednesday instead. Only day this month I drove to work.... :) Actually in Seattle, it's Bike to Everywhere day so we don't discriminate. Not sure why it was Wednesday instead of Friday here.

Nico Denz started today? Very surprised he passed concussion protocol. Was tired yesterday at work after staying up until 2am watching the incredible stage 5 :) Signing off this thread for the next 14 hrs, so I can see the stage 7 final climb with fresh eyes tonight

I should hope so, it's the same Nyon that you have :). I think my photo was from the retrofit installation guide rather than the owners manual.

@Aushiker is your R&M one with a custom mount in the handlebar, instead of the stock Bosch mount? If so, I have no idea... If it's the standard mount, there is a m3 security screw you can put into the mount that prevents the release mechanism from moving, effectively making the mount and Nyon...

About 16000 miles. The majority are suburban/urban commuting but yeah, the bike has seen a fair bit of rail trail, logging roads, and single track as well.

Yeah, not sure why our experiences have been so different. I think our bikes and usage are pretty similar. Glad the ones you switched to have held up.

Amazon to the rescue -

My Hafny mirror is coming up on 6 years. Prefer the mount to be inside the grip rather than the bar end. My bars are wide enough as is and I fold the mirror while parking at work. Never seem to have the issue with my arm or elbow blocking the view that some cite as the reason for using the bar...

Yates officially out with a concussion - no surprise at all. Jay Vine has had a rough season more crashes than finishes so far.

Ugh, I didn't need to see that replay
