“Motivation can go straight out the window, where it quickly shivers and tries to come back inside.” Classic. My “mental” cycling season officially began last weekend. 100km ride in 35C. The first ride with the beginnings of summer thirst – went throu… »

@motor city First check the obvious – clean the front mech, especially if you have thick, sticky sports drink in your bidon over the mech. I would then check the limit screw. I had Tiagra years ago and the limit screw would tend to move. I finally put… »

@motor city Picked up a pair of the shorts. I’m impressed – same quality as bibs twice the price. I also like the Classic (the ones in the picture posted by @motor city). Black, black, and more black. Hard to find basic black and quality at the sam… »

@ChrisO This is the same story line Postal used. It would be nice if it is actually true this time. »

@frank That is a classic. As a bonus, I had never noticed the “how to put on a wetsuit” tutorials that are linked at the end. WTF? Some of the “advice”: Put both feet in first Pull the wetsuit up fully to the waist before trying to insert your arms … »

@Dan_R Since you are looking for someone as boss, why not The Boss, Rik Van Steenbergen. Seems to be an obvious choice for the shop. »

@Deakus The only big difference I have seen between the current Contis in use and the past Veloflex and Vittoria tires I have tried is that the Contis “throw off” debris, the Veloflex and Vittoria are softer, have a slightly better ride, but get nicked … »

@DocBrian I think it was spammers posting comments with malicious links. Gave Frank a merry chase for a bit but he took them at the line. »

@Malfadactus The Tifosi Pave frames with the “Light Night Fototec” lens work well for me and are not that expensive. »

@brett I drink non-homogenized milk from a local dairy if I’m lazy, “raw” milk from another dairy occasionally. Is the suffering you mention more than the industrial dairy variety? Does the equivalent of a cow wet nurse now count as suffering? Humans… »

@itburns One of the things I enjoy about this site is that it makes me think of things that were just automatic before. Never noticing that I put electrical tape “half way” on the bars, then having to face the fact that I have an aversion to a finishi… »

@DerHoggz I found the eSoles to be more of a standard arch support and not enough, even after molding, but I have very high arches. The Spesh greens feel more like a golf ball right behind the ball of my foot instead of the traditional support over the … »

@Cyclops No, and I don’t know why. Never said my brand of OCD makes any sense, it just is. »
@Bespoke I finished redoing the electrical tape on my bars. It ends at the wrap now, not on the bars. Strange that I always had half the finishing tape on the bars and never noticed before but that once Roger pointed this out it looked like absolute … »

@Nate, @DerHoggz I have the eSoles – they came with my defunct Lakes. Arch is the standard placement for “walking” shoes, and for my foot the extreme arch “green” insole from Specialized still works better. I guess just like every other contact point, … »

I leaned my bike against the side of my car to open the back hatch at the end of a long day in the saddle. A big gust of wind came through and blew it over. I picked it up and leaned it on the other side of the car, out of the wind, at a bigger angle. … »
