@G’rilla Twiggo was there?!  Sorry Frank – couldn’t resist. »

@dave Doesn’t this qualify?  If you are speaking of poster type print, I think there used to be someone who did print them, but they were not authorized and Frank quickly put he kabosh on that. »

@cuylar conly Similarly, wearing jerseys for climbs is not allowed unless you have completed said climb.  For instance, Velo Peloton’s Tourmalet jersey looks the tits, but I have not climbed the monster, therefore I would not shame the threads by wearin… »

@margc I belive that is Terry’s attempt at trying to bring back the Dazzle Camouflage, popular in during WW1.  I am really not sure what they were trying to accomplish there, but they assuredly failed at it.  Is that one article of clothing, or 5?  Sorry… »

I understand the release date for the US is far away, but I should at least be able to put the damn book on my wish list! »

@the Engine Guess he should have stuck with the Q-Rings this year, huh? »

@ChrisO Kudos for calling himself out.  Looks like he needed yesterday’s help … »

A great little article:  http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/05/commentary/notes-from-the-scrum-the-hornet-rides-again_288246 Well written by a seemingly budding Velominati with great colorful language describing an old friend »

@DerHoggz have nearly 4000km (3200km on current set) logged on Maxxis Re-Fuse without a puncture.  Im sure there are others that are lighter and roll better, but the piece of mind is worth it, plus I’m always training and never racing. »

@the-farmer degreaser (engine degreaser to be exact) to soften the adhesive and dental floss to slide behind the sticker.  The degreaser will not harm your finish »

I think it is a bit ironic how many manufacturers offer black or dark colors with minimal reflective areas for articles of clothing that you would normally wear in low visibility conditions.  Long sleeve jersey, rain jackets, light jackets that you would … »

@Sauterelle That is one poorly written article with a decided biased.  Not at all what I would consider objective, nor are the points made necessarily related to the subject.  Not worth spending any more time on, actually. »

@DocBrian too bad – I love my Aspide »

@mcsqueak I don’t have a Garmin, but use my phone for the same thing – in the pocket.  Much closer to adhering 100% to Rule #74.  I get the records, but not an issue while on the bike.  If you take your phone, try it if all you are tracking is speed/posit… »

I’ve found ridewithgps.com to be the most accurate with regard to elevation and grades.  I notified Strava this morning that they have a 125m climb incorrect in that it only crosses 2 40′ contour lines.  They also have my max climb as a little over 10m hi… »

Com on guys! verticals aren’t to scale, they are hugely exaggerated.  Unless you were climbing Everest, a map to scale would more/less be a flat line over a 120km route. »

Is Evans going to go for the win/ time bonuses? »

@Nate True – I’m only thinking this could occur at 2 places: 1) seatpost/frame connection, in which sweat will probably not be making contact as it should be umbrella’ed by the saddle 2)  stem/fork/bars, but if any of these pieces are Al, they are usual… »

@RedRanger Carbon is pretty much inert, so it could be that the aluminum is oxidizing into Aluminum Oxide (a ceramic, which will look like a white powder) and then riding vibrations or something is knocking it loose and it is collecting between the surfac… »

Great tutorial on this subject released yesterday: »

In fact, there should be some lexicon term for such a look – I’m just not creative enough at the moment to propose one. »

@piwakawaka yep, nothing worse than having hairs poking through the bibs.  Just shows disrespect. »

@Buck Rogers Yes, I noticed the uncany similarities as well, right down to the cockring (which in black and white, yellow vs white would look identical). »
