I don't need your brosplaining buddy. And I don't have the time or need to explain to you that you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. What my wheels had to do with a seatpost question affirms that you should…
I just wanted to close off this thread with a realization why Salsa spec'd the carbon Warbird with an aluminum seatpost. It made all the difference in the world! I swapped out the carbon Easton and carbon Brooks for a…
Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions! Of course, my power could be smoother - and to take the opportunity to perfect out my circles is an excellent approach. I think the carbon seat post is a problem too - and my…
Thanks for the ideas. My locally built wheels are silly? We have Hunts on the other Warbird, with “non-silly” spokes. It’s not the wheels. I think it’s the seat post / seat stays that are flexing. No issues with the…
You guys are dicks.
Moved from Shimano long ago. I'm using open drivetrains (12x) or Campy. SRAM is expensive and heavy.
I wanted to go mechanical, and we have 20% grades on every ride. I ended up going eThirteen 9/50 Helix on an XDR hub with a 38t Praxis crank with XTR long cage and Gevenalle shifters. Lightest option available for my…
After a RETUL fit, my fitter suggested I lose my carbon Brooks cambium - and so went with a Specialized Power Comp saddle. He really dislikes Brooks, says they haven't been redesigned since the 1800's, yada yada. It's a…
It’s a good time for Campagnolo.
@boots2000 hit me up - I'll take them off your hands.
I'm running 42c Hurricane Ridge supples on Rolf Prima Hyalite 25's. Couldn't get em to seal with 2Bliss - ran right out their sidewalls. Made a mess. RH had no suggestions. Tried Muckoff. No better. Stans was my last…
I live rurally, and watch people all the time not know what to do with a herd of Elk, or even a cow when it leaves the pasture. I sure hope he's ok!
It's amazing how oblivious people can be. He rode ride at it. I guess too many years sitting in front of a computer away from animals (or too many cartoons) makes one forget they can kill you. Stay away from farm…
Check out Arkel. Yeah, its old school touring - but I love how it unclips from the bar clamps and I can take it with me.
I've tried to have only 1 bike. It's easier to store, it feels less excessive. Saves money. So many reasons it seems! But then, I found that 1 bike doesn't do it all. The geometry of a road bike on light gravel is not a…
I've been impressed by BBinfinite's concepts and work - but have not used one personally yet. It makes sense to me using a 1 piece BB "hub" to me.
