@frank didnt know u had one(road) coming. I think u may have a tough time deciding what to ride where and how if thats the case… The only change I made to my cx rig after the initial build was going to cantis from V-brakes. The versatility of the rig i… »

Just wait  until you try the road version. I haven’t done any graveling on the cx, just raced it. It’s just a shitton of fun. Snappy and smooth. »

@minion the huge puffed up tires make maneuvering at speed and not squishing bits more than usual a challenge, hence the downsizing. what doesn’t change in fitting setup is the seat to pedal distance (unless you know how to shrink your femur) and the re… »

@Ron i have on different bikes the. 3 different thicknesses of lizard skins. Have the thickest on my race bike, did 7 mile gravel climb last week (inaugural ride, natch) and found it quite pleasant with minimal padded gloves. Have medium on the commuter… »

@Nate When I was in ny last summer there was an outpost in williamsburg of some australian chain of flat white joints. yes, they have a linguistic reinvention of the wheel. and IIRC they heat the milk at a slightly different temp. but certainly they ha… »

Talking about riding ugly- this weekend is the Portland tour” de ronde.” 2 days, each 48miles and 8000′ climbing. Rondepdx.com for details. a truly unpleasant beast of ride. Happy trails. »

@freddy just saw the documentary. good stuff. Do we have any south africans who can vouch for the album being that important in the day? »

@Fausto congrats! I got Vth. How ironic. Woulda preferred 1st, but got swept by 4 dudes by a bike length at the finish – I did one fucken high quality lead out without blowing up( or winning…). »

@G’rilla @G’rilla Sorry G’rilla, none of us really think of you that way. A moots (actually the old kona)69er was more what we think of when you and 69 come up. That is unless you’ve been mentioned in the same context as frank. But thats just weird….. »

@Fausto nice work! hoping to create some energy tomorrow on a small circuit race. Congrats. »

@mcsqueak I believe it is a reference to any fires lit under his ass not to be ones celebrating membership in the blue flame club. and not making the list in the riding ugly post, altho that would in effect be pro… what were we talking about? »

@Fausto Nicely put. Good for you for having that hunger and fire in the belly. A local coach told me to beware the rapid upgrade. There is a lot of ego and pride going into the decision to upgrade prior to being forced to, but perhaps not best for ones … »

well written scaler. was having a chat with one of our colleagues about the neuter that cat 3 (which is my hopeful, hopeful goal mind you) is- the physiologically gifted children of well selected parents essentially “start” up here (you reading this scal… »

After that orica video need some serious brain bleach. The marketing firm must b on  a bender now, wondering if they’ll b employed again… Perhaps the riders as well. Ouch. »

No surprises here. know nearly nothing about bike racing history, score very few points. 9 on the nickname one, (only because I read slaying the badger, most likely, and hangin w u blokes here), and then 3 or noun aggregate in the other 2 available quizze… »

@Buck Rogers you’ve done enough trauma to know the dude prolly had a blood alcohol >0.2.  just saying. »

@eightzero You lost weight? which diet? Nice work. »

@itburns Thank you! so much more diplomatic than the have vs have not vs fail to pick good dna tired arguments! One question tho- does he have to pull her hair first or not? »

Learned the hard way- inexpensive carbon tubbies can be found (a la Planet X, others). The risk- recessed spoke design turning something awesome into painful. Prepare to reglue to true. 2cx races and there I was. So not worth it to me who doesn’t have tim… »
