Fuck DeLuca. And oh, cycling is *so* mcuh cleaner now. The new generation is *so* all about clean racing and no doping. We’ve turned a corner. I’m shocked, *shocked* there’s gambling going on in here. »

@frank To quote Dr. Smith, “oh the pain. The pain.” Moahr milez this weekend. Moahr. But jeebuz h merckx, every time I look at those profiles for the stage cogal, I ask myself, “what have you done?” »
This is fine, fine writing. Indeed, the Principle of Silence is of primary importance to me. I’ve found I like listening to all the subtle sounds of my bike. I’ve even discovered some of the noises are related to the expected flex of the components, and a… »

And no, I actually don’t want to discuss the women’s ITT at the Tour of California. »

YJAs suck, if for no other reason than it makes you look like a douchenozzle. When I am riding, I want to be like the perfect waiter at a restaurant: never seen, but always appreciated. My sole mission on a bike is to stay the fuck out of everyones way. … »

Any chance the jersey can be customized with rider name on the back of the collar like The Pros have? Hmmm? »

OK, for the record, my spending an extra 10 minutes in the shower in Rule #33 efforts is generally acceptable, but then getting out and dumping Rogaine all over my head is fucked up. It’s like fucking your sister: sure, she’s got a blouse full of goodies, … »

While we’re on the subject, a bit of an update on my road tubeless experence. I converted R28Aero2s from Neuvation to Tubeless using the Stans no-tubes system and hutchinson fusion 3s. I like the setup, particularly the reduction in pressures. I put abou… »

@bianchi777 Nice! And here’s a genuine question (for anyone:) How the the name of this bike manufacturer pronounced? Is it pin-a-REL-oh? Or is it pin-a-REE-oh? »

@Chris That’s the thing about sport. You choose your heroes and make your likes and dislikes on a totally subjective basis. The same thing that makes Wiggo a hero to you makes him a twatwaffle to me; and that is actually kinda cool and fun. I’m not a bi… »
@paolo Ya know, this kind of thing bothers the shitte out of me. Schleckanicals are endemic to the technology. Anyone who ever mounts a Bike must do so only upon first accepting that the technology has inherent risks and limitations. If you cannot accep… »

Riad tubeless update: Read (cracked) wheel replaced. Neuvation made good on the warranty even though technically it was a few weeks past the one year limit. I remounted the hutchison fusion 3 and topped it off with fresh sealant. So far so good. Less of a… »
