    2025 Vuelta a Espana

    Philipsen's injury was described as a displaced fracture, so I'm sure he's got pins or plates in there now. It's crazy how fast these athletes can recover. Jonas Abrahamsen started the TdF 17 days after breaking his collarbone and having it repaired surgically. (And won stage 11!). Pedersen...

    2025 Vuelta a Espana

    Hmm, it didn't go down where I am. Lot's of commercial breaks as it got closer to the end.

    Is a 2022 Medeo Blue Tooth Compatible?

    If it is a System2 bike with Purion display (or Intuvia) there is no Bluetooth connectivity. You would need a Kiox or Nyon, with a new wire run to connect to the Bosch eBike Connect app. The Smartphone Hub connected to the Cobi app. The new Smart System bikes use the Flow app. I doubt if...

    Yamaha CrossCore RC Modifications so that I can ride again

    Ouch, sorry you've had such a long layoff. Hope the new ride is working out. I came real close to getting a Wabash RT last fall on closeout. It was cheap enough to be OK considering wholesale equipment changes like you did but it was still about 5 pounds too close to my heavier bike for me to...

    brake pad material

    The last thing I want to be wondering when I'm going 40mph down a hill is whether the AI gave me the recipe for brake pads or break pads !

    Tour of Denmark 2025

    Mads is hugely entertaining, one of my favorites, and I think he is still 2nd in UCI points behind some Slovenian cyclist. But no way he wins the GC - too many mountains and too many climbers in the Vuelta. He looked invincible in the Giro in the first week too, right up until the first...

    Ordered Creo 2 Comp need info about app, bike, etc please

    Sure, I guess. For road use, much less of an issue assuming someone who wants skinny tires is probably not going to be using big honkin' flat pedals like in your photo. BikeInsights calculates the Creo2 pedal spindle to ground clearance at 105.5mm. Going from a 47c tire to a 30c tire would...

    Ordered Creo 2 Comp need info about app, bike, etc please

    I think your bike will come with 42c Tracer Pro's? I wouldn't be in any rush to change them but they do seem like straight up gravel tires. One nice thing is the Creo2 comp is fitted with a versatile modern size wheel. The G540 is 24mm inner width and 28mm outer. So you could go anywhere...

    How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

    I look forward to the OP's update after they have had some more saddle time. @jsp45 it's the nature of public forums: sometimes you get no advice, sometimes you get too much advice, and sometimes your post spurs conversation beyond the original question :) @Stefan Mikes Based on this thread I...

    Bosch Flow Maps Question

    @Guitar Player 63 This the page you were trying to access on the Bosch site? https://help.bosch-ebike.com/en/help-center/ebw-flowapp-navigation/asset-ast-00241 It talks about pinch to zoom and using the button in lower right to switch between an overview mode and the default zoom. I don't...

    How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

    As other have said, you are likely riding at a very low cadence. Sport and Turbo will surge with each pedal stroke at very low cadences and speeds. Also, if the acceleration is disconcerting you very well may be pausing your pedal stroke to regain composure then starting again. That kind of...

    Nailed It! New Tires for Gazelle

    The G one Overland looks like a pretty good choice - but you want the newer PRO variant not the older SuperGround version. The newer compound should roll a little better

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    My Bulls came with a fidlock base but no bottle. I couldn't bring myself to spend the $$ for a fancy water bottle I could only use on 1 bike. I bet if you take your lock off its base the Thule jaws would fit nicely on the seat tube between the lock base and the stays. That's about where I...

    Tubeless Blues

    Curious, does the ride feel different at the same pressure? Or is the nicer ride solely from riding at lower pressures?

    Tubeless Blues

    I agree on the questionable utility for thinner tires. Thanks for posting the Park video, glad to see I'm not crazy in questioning the math on saving weight by going tubeless. He took a 235g tube out of a Racing Ralph, one of the lightest MTB tubeless ready tires around which probably has...

    Tubeless Blues

    Is sealant significantly lighter than water? Or do people just put in a fraction of what sealant companies recommend? I'm not sure the claims of weight savings hold water, or air, unless you assume everybody with tubes buys the cheapest, heaviest tube available. My lighter bike has Pirelli...

    2025 Vuelta a Espana

    I'm surprised Pogacar is skipping the Vuelta - isn't it about the only major race he hasn't won in the last 2 years? On a separate note - have you all seen Matthew Brennan this year? He's going to be a force in couple years if he stays on this trajectory. He won stage 5 in Poland on Friday...
