Ditto these comments, as I’ve had great experiences and others where I asked myself, “why am I here?”. I’d try the PNW when the weather breaks, as...

Or bicycle riders. Everybody's whacked their levers and then whacked them back in line. No way I'd design something rigid in a place like that if I...

Agreed. Also nonexistent. I think a lot of the "engineering" in the bicycle industry is done by people who are not engineers. I'd also like to know...

We got a new milling head for one of our CNCs that showed up broken in the crate. The transition between the motor and gearbox was made of cast...

I completed my MA this week. Now I wait until June for the virtual residency week in Vermont and then a virtual graduation. I will be taking up...

Airport operations in Antarctica...just like landing in February in DTW, right? ...

There are newer BOAs and other rotary dial adjusters that ratchet in either direction tighter/looser. Usually they are on the fancier shoes. ...

3T Rotundo to the rescue!

Yup. This is exactly what I'm thinking. I'll only do it if it's a whole unit, not shared with anyone. Preferably an apartment/condo or a cottage type...

I've used AirBnB countless times, both domestic and internationally. Unless I'm going on a work trip and the rest of the team is staying in the...

Avoid this design like the plague! Or like we used to avoid plagues. A round clamp on a round section is like a mechanical fuse that will...

so many ways to look at the same thing. I'm decently fit and my engine is growing.

Thanks Peter. What I neglected to mention is that there are multiples of this thing. Many . . . many of them. (my bad) The moist heat does...

I talked to my local Ibis dealer yesterday, and they said to get on the list and maybe I'd get one by the end of the summer.

Definitely. MVdP isn't just some guy. He's one of the more high profile riders around and this was on TV. Bad stuff for Canyon and propriety...

I'm not super impressed. Maybe it's just the model I have, but if I want to loosen the shoe, I have to completely undo the dial and tighten my way...

Absolute nightmare for marketing.

the recess looks pretty good...i will throw some cleats on today...the sole is pretty stiff!

There's a big male pileated woodpecker excavating a nesting cavity high up in one of the poplars at the back of my lot just across the property line...

Woo! Let us know how they are on the bike. How recessed are the cleats once mounted? I am underwhelmed by my current Giro “casual” bike shoes,...

i've always been a sucker for sambas... PXL_20210305_124759519 by W L, on Flickr

As an aside, my LBS (2) stores has just signed contracts to sell Rapha goods as an official partner in the UK.......which is a new slant, as both...

Peak Torque, an engineer and cyclist w a youtube channel, has an informative review of potential issues with shifter clamp designs including the new...

So apparently where the shifter mounts, the bars are not circular in section they are somewhat of a square shape, which means a proprietary clamp...

Take an appropriate sized towel and soak it in water. Wring out the excess. Put it in the microwave to get it silly-hot. Remove it from the...

Well, seeing how VAT is an extremely regressive tax regime and the great lengths the wealthy go in Europe to hide wealth via off-shore structures,...

Merlin are amazing, truly top shelf.

If a transaction is done off the till, then it's outside of the framework. No free lunch. I think that's a universal concept. As for the US, I'd...

I agree somewhat with both of you here. The "intent" is certainly in the regulatory framework in Europe, but after 14 years I'm still amazed at how...

I’m hoping so! Previous deliveries from MerlinCycles were so quick.

If we're talking around a week, I'd consider a cabin, like at a place like this: https://www.naturenooksretreat.com/ For an entire month, I'd...

Shame he didn't tear it off with his teeth and spit it out.

Sorry. Typo...I mean 30c and 35c versions

That's almost as crazy as a crank busting in two in the middle of a ride. . . . :smile:

With enough time, brass turns the same shade of brown as old copper. Or do you mean it was green?

Self-enacted moratorium on new items until I've ridden more than once a month. Still I dream of WTO's at night. My wife needs to improve on...

Sure. Any and all and more.

Could just be the tracking. I've had things that look like they were still OS according to the tracking info suddenly land on my doorstep - my...

Will try that tomorrow! Cross your fingers bruh.

Is it just me or is ProBikeKit awfully slow...ordered on the 24th of Feb and still hasn't left the UK, MerlinCycles seem to be so fast? BREXIT,...

Man..That is Nice!!

Holy Schnikes -- That is one beautiful bike Dave! Love the color.

Yeah. No crash or anything. Just appeared at the front with his shifter dangling going as hard as he could in that particular gear. Everyone got in...

Weather is starting to warm up. Movin' some gear around. Getting excited about getting outside in the mortheast!

Bob, there is a family of seven next door included 5 children. These jokes are daily reminders to take it lightly. PS Folks, needed reminder we...

For some reason that reminded me of this series of elephant jokes that I learned in elementary school: Q: Why do elephants paint their toenails...
