Assuming this is the Fairfax CCT, I find it to be a really interesting trail in how many surface types it covers. A road bike is perfect for many...

I sold a pair of those a few years back and I think I used them for free for the entire time I had them because I'm pretty sure I sold them for more...

My neighbor is the main ornithologist at the University. He has been working with Osprey along the Clark Fork river for quite a time. They feed...

Cross County Trail- what a gem!

Wow, I thought I had the award for oddest ever use of those levers..

Well my direct experience with Force eTap AXS says this just isn’t true. It shifts significantly slower than Record and Chorus mechanical. Whether...

Yeah yeah... It's possibly common in other locals but here it is not, so it comes across as contrived and forced. Robotic greetings/service from...

I don't recall any of them being mentioned, but curated is a good one, the use of which makes one look like a bore. Bespoke and artisanal /...

I have both. Dura Ace mechanical and GRX Di2. Both work as advertised. In other words, they work extremely well. I'm not a hater or a nostalgia...

He still does his video casting as well on YouTube. I watch them occasionally and find them occasionally interesting. A bit too much product pushing...

Liege predictions? Incidentally, George Hincapie called Flanders the hardest bicycle race. He said no race leaves a pro empty like Flanders. I...

I wonder how far back on this thread I n ex to go to find someone else who hates: Bespoke Curated Artisanal

I started cutting firewood beginning with trees I cut last year, Ash and Red Maple. Several cord of Red Oak and Sugar Maple are in the shed from a...

I’m preparing to eventually go back in time with these...I’m staying with rim brakes and down tube shifters.

Nice Rig Smitty, it would not last 10 seconds in DC.

It’s simple for me: The benefits don’t even come close to outweighing the cost. AU$5k+ for a SRAM Red AXS groupset? No. Fucken. Way. That’s my...

That's bizarre. :laugh:

I had a set of those on a Giant Bowery fixie (singlespeed) once - the levers were worth more than the rest of the bike!

I think I purchased the last pair of Record carbon aero brake levers from a retail bike store in the world, found these looking through a parts list...

Re: shifting speed. I think this is a non issue. Regardless of the system, you have to be amazed at how quick our shifting is in 2021. I am always...

The thing is I have. But at dura-ace and red axs level so can't speak about that specific iteration. And Sram AXS wasn't particularly fast. Actually...

I use maple syrup in the water when I boil bagels, it does seem to add some sweetness. I really want to take the next step to doing the bagels on...

Sure. I don't put huge miles on my bikes these days, but last year was about 5,500 mi or so split between two bikes. One Shimano (10s downtube...

I'll take the Pepsi Challenge any day: A 1 year old unmaintained bike with electric shifting and hydro brakes is working WAY better than a 1 year...

Seconded. Two weeks?? Holy cow...

That's really cool. We've been saving our wrappers!

I got a used 2010 Jamis Aurora Elite a few years back for a couple hundred. Learned to do my own bike work with it and replaced near everything on...

If you’re being serious you’re doing something wrong. My current Dura Ace equipped bikes haven’t needed adjustments in years. Maybe a 1/16th of a...

finally back from Paint.... The little man is happy Untitled by Adrian Knowles, on Flickr Untitled by Adrian Knowles, on Flickr Untitled by...

1) Lucky for me the part of my thumb I cut of didn't affect my shifting because if it did I would have bought that GX Eagle the day it came out. I'm...

Lol. I've seen these chickens go for bike rides, sledding, swinging, and on the slide. They are spoiled. Most expensive omelets ever.

"Welcome in" as a greeting when entering a retail establishment.

That’s an awesome story, John. I live about 8 miles from Downtown Manhattan on the nj side and bald eagles are becoming a common sight. I’m...

You guys are killing it with the pics this week. Bring on the spring.

I love red oak. the smell of cat pee must be strong at your place!

"Years"?!?! LOL! Give me two weeks, I can apparently kill any mechanical shifting system in 300 miles or less. But I suspect we may have very...

Nice! What are those cranks/chainrings?

For me the nicest thing about electric shifting is that the levers don’t need to house the mechanical shifter stuff AND the hydraulic stuff, keeping...

Nice that you've given the chickens a couple slides for recreation.

Lovely setup! Also a bit jealous of your tractor! Well done.

I don't think that relaying myths help your case. Unless we are talking worldtour pro mileage it takes years for a cable actuated transmission to...
