Position-wise, the only thing that’s changed for me lately is the wider Q-factor of the White Industries cranks on my Hampsten. Could that be the...

My take.

I love the ti stem on my blue Merckx. I've recently swapped this frame for a white one a cm smaller, which is now in the mail headed my way. We'll...

Nah, I think it's the rest of you louts who are getting too distracted by loud toys.:laugh:

I'd get the Pixel 4a 5G, direct from Verizon. In fact that's my plan, a few months down the road.

Xfinity and yes it is duck soup to switch over. They send you a chip. Install the chip and done. F.Y.I. XFINITY is Verizon, you get full advantage...

Drop and give me 20 you lout.

Thanks Scott, the neo retro modernist knuckle dragger in me wants to like those Maes bars as well.

You are not drunk enough. Two more beers and it will work. Promise.

Would it make you feel better if I told you I spent three days adjusting the same fr. derailleur until it was perfection? Totally stupid finish for...

Hey, has anyone tried to see if a 105 5700 FD would work with the latest 11 spd Shimano shifters? My Dura Ace 7800 setup with the old short arm FD...

I get a chuckle out of "I want to ride tomorrow. It's easier to install a new one than adjust what's there." Something the guys that drew that thing...

Use the Shimano Dealer's Manual instructions. They are pretty clear. Don't skip any steps. The installation process before you connect the cable is...

Here's my Olive Green Allied with a bead blasted Firefly post. I like it. I should replace the stem too.

Yeah I'll probably give it another go later when I will have read the instruction. It just didn't occured to me it would be that not straightforward....

Matthew "Vulgar Display of Power" Van Der Poel does it again. Seriously great race to watch.

So there are coil springs retracting the pistons? You don't pull on hydraulic fluid.

Such a shame because the new Ultegra is absolutely mind blowingly good. The new design is great, love the stability of the extra screw that touches...

Still skiing. Granular and fast. Supposed to warm up next week.

The Herse Maes bars have just enough flare so I don't bang my wrists when standing in the drops. The Maes also flow nicely into the Campy 10s...

The ‘new’ fd works great but needs to be set up a bit different then other models. Read the manual and try again. One change is the high limit...

I’ve had a similar experience, and find the Google search box near the upper left corner of the desktop forum view to work really well.

Wow, SB was awesome. Even just reading through the live coverage blog on CyclingNews gave me chills. Talk about a Breakaway Royale. Haven't seen the...

My mind is really in the gutter these days. Saw the title, "$100,000 Escort" and started thinking along the lines of Pretty Woman... No worries,...

I simultaneously hate and love you. I am on episode 32. Unbelievable skills. I wish I could do that with an angle grinder!

There’s a way to do it, but yeah it seems like they had someone from their fishing reel division design the cable rat’s nest on top. Reminds me of...

I shouldn’t have read the water bottle before I headed out the door and into the wind this morning, as all that I could think about, when my nose...

Thanks! It was a team effort!

Warehouse fire?

You could go for style points and install a 1974 Super Record.

I thought I'd report back that I bought a Teruyasu Fujiwara Petty from Carbon Knife Company. White #1 steel, stainless clad. That white #1 gets...

I tried an Ultegra cassette and was very unhappy about the way it chewed up my freehub. Are they still that bad?

Just like bib chamois, most of this shit is over-engineered.

You mentioned moist heat works. Have you tried a dishwasher? With soap? Otherwise, go through the rest of the solvent list: Paint thinner ...

I have always liked a bit of flare. Actually for years I have missed riding my 3t competizione with the gimondie shape that allowed for extra room...

Note: I understand I probably missed something very obvious and need to read some docs. But for xxx's sake, we shouldn't have tonread a manual for a...

I'm interested in these shoes, looking forward to your review for riding stiffness and walking comfort.

I'm a big old(er) guy and, similar to saddles, for me it's about personal preference and comfort, not a style or what type of riding I do. I have two...

It'll work fine, but the Shimano cassettes are quieter. I tend to use Ultegra cassettes on both my shimano and sram bikes.

Do you know of a shop that will let you test ride each model?

Open space on the highest point of Santa Barbara's Riviera behind SB. looking out towards the Pacific same spot looking 180 from the above...

Killing it Tyler. That pop of color around the couplers is great.

I think changing the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid or increasing the aperture of any pinch points/valves in the hydraulic system are the way to...

Our new Strata is unhappy with the leash and collar but the yard is a wonderland of new toys (twigs, acorns, sweetgum balls, leaves, etc.).
