Yes! Of course you do get a bit of sh*t as an Aussie in New Zealand and taxi drivers insist on talking about rugby, which is honestly a foreign...

Rich, correct. Was playing with drop and reach with this stem, which is a 110 instead of my usual 120. I had it 5mm lower for a while and will try...

Of all the crazy things I've seen during a race that would be one of them.

First person flying looks really cool.

Earthquake offshore and tsunami warnings today/tomorrow evidently. Do they even let Australians move to New Zealand?

No complaints. I have one on each shoe though. Need two. Or one lower on the shoe and a ratcheting buckle at the top. Velcro strap across the top of...

My local shop had the 45Nrth Greezy in stock, and I picked it up this afternoon. So far, so good.

Or any football stadium on game day? (I think I'm getting the hang of it...)

Interesting thread. If I was going to move anywhere I would move to New Zealand. Lots of tourists, particularly in the Sth Island, might get...

Just my tuppence, but if you took the spacers out and used a -6º stem you would achieve the same position, and it'd suit the frame better.

Thanks for your response. You are right, it's brass, not copper metal; I should have been more clear.. The machine is a Rancilio Silvia, V3. ...

Similar story to mine. I'm from NY state and moved to the west coast in the late 90s. Bounced around a bit from SoCal to Oregon but settled in the...

Minus 12 degree stem will get a tryout on the GP this year. Feels good on the trainer.

I have ridden my bike outdoors 3 times this week for a total of 7 outdoor sorties In 2021 due to ice/snow/work/family. Redwing black birds are...

Cool. They converted my Serotta to S&S couplers. Superbly I will add. This area interests me and is closer to where I live. It I’m honestly...

I've had mostly very positive experiences in the few AirBnBs I've used. Most important bit of advice I can offer based on my most recent experience:...

Mine keep coming loose when hiking biking overgrown trails. I don,t see how those cyclocrossers keep them tight. If they didn’t have excellent...

I used to ride Sidi, back when they were made of Kangaroo. Lake fit me better, and I have used BOA laces for years without complaint. Yes, ferns will...

I don't really know anything about Air B&B's, but this one is owned by Bina Bilenky (daughter of Stephen, renowned frame builder) in Pennsylvania and...

Thanks

One other thing - some rentals, unless they are in high tourist areas, end up renting on weekends only mostly. You can look through the reserved...

We have used AirBnb for a few years (not last year though), and in multiple countries with mostly positive experiences (knock on wood). As Jorn...

I am not sure how many of them are still the original AirBnB arrangement, i.e. a room in someone's house while they are living there. Our neighbors...

Something is moving into the old Rapha space...? https://twitter.com/LauraHayesDC/status/1367482139198058497

Chris Bishop just uploaded his official photos of your bike to Flickr. Here's the link. ...

I grew up about 90 minutes north of Milwaukee (Appleton) and now live about 90 minutes south of Milwaukee (west of Chicago) and I'm PNW curious. My...

Updated for 2021.

Waltons gonna Walton.

I'm from Milwaukee, Wi. I left 20 years to move to PDX. I have missed the mid-west exactly 0%. For me, there is zero comparison. Everything here...

echappist, you didn't write what type of machine you have but it is very unlikely that the diffuser behind the portafilter screen is made of copper. ...

Yeah, that works! In a previous life, we had a running office joke where we would refer to the cost of things in melons: "Nice car, but 20 melons...

Apologize for zombie quote, but it's germane to my current thinking. I still own a pair of S-Works shoes with Boa dials that I bought in maybe 2008...

Mine are now scheduled, 3/16 and 4/13. My parents have had both shots. I'm 55 with Lupus, I guess I was never high risk. My son is a junior at...

Boa's online warranty process for replacing broken laces is top notch. I only have them on my indoor cycling shoes, so am planning on replacing...

I ride with a Wahoo Bolt and think I have only used the mapping feature once while mountain biking down in Aptos, CA. It was a really big day for me...

I received my 2nd poke Tuesday and my wife gets hers next Monday. Tickets to Mexico booked!

My wife and I, 26 and 27 respectively, both got our first Pfizer shot on Monday. We are both healthy but work in food and education. Monday was the...

I am still very much enjoying the irony of riding a mudguard equipped bike in an Australian summer, but regardless of that.... I want this bike. I...

Yep US citizen.

CA has many different health districts. My 30 year old, non-essential worker niece and nephew in Long Beach got theirs last month.

Fantastic, I'll join esp. if there is dirt involved.

For me, riding in NW Arizona, I can often see where I want to go on the MTB, but I need to find the trails to get there. I'll save a route because...

Thanks, I thought I had deleted all the danglers. Nice tip on not needing to use the insert image button. Got a new crank last week.

Joe Biden says May. Are you a US citizen? edit: California appears not to prohibit non-US citizens from vaccination, which makes sense from an...

Edited it for you. Leave the extra

I'll join those opting for the heads-up method of riding, and add that I love poring over maps (even the Strava heat map) for pre-ride intel, but...

Great news!

Rapha Peaked Merino hat still the winner.

Tom, anyone who cites Slaid Cleaves is welcome at my house. Mike
