Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
Every so often I run across a WWWTPD cyclist. You know the type, they look at what the pro teams are doing, and say out loud to those who do their own research that all of that effort is a waste of time. You should just do what the World Tour (WT) teams do. Performance is so important to the pros that they wouldn’t possibly compromise on the products they use. I…
This 1/2″ (there is also a 3/8″) digital torque adapter is a great tool to have on hand for a few special cases.…
If you’re one of RGT’s 47 paying customers, first off let me offer my condolences. Loss is hard. Take your time, don’t rush the stages. When you’re ready, a friend who, for reasons that completely baffle me, but I don’t care to explore in depth, doesn’t like Zwift. He filled me in on a new platform called MyWhoosh, or maybe not new, but I’ve never heard of because… I get my virtual…
I’m not completely sold on a suspension fork for my gravel bike, but gravel is a very wide category. I don’t tend to go for the more MTB leaning gravel, so if that’s your thing, this State Bicycle suspension fork might be perfect for you, and since it’s State you know it’s going to be reasonably priced. So maybe the $450 à la carte, or $350 with a bike, is worth a…
A friend recently bought this OBED Baseline All-road bike. They were nice enough to let me do the unboxing on camera, so we could all see what the experience is like, and what to expect if you buy an OBED.…
Reports of Shimano Ultegra and Dura-Ace cranks falling apart, or in Shimano speak “bonding separation issue”, have been floating around for several years. Up until this point, AFAIK, they have been completely silent on the issue and left it up to owners to bear the cost for replacement, and pain if something goes catastrophically wrong……
Moots is best known for expensive, awesome, titanium gravel bikes. So the “from $10,000” price tag on their newly announced “Moots Express eBike” gravel e-bike, or maybe e-gravel-bike, did not surprise me at all. But that it is carbon, and promises ~100 miles of range, did. Obviously, there’s some caveating around the whole “100 miles” thing. Judging range is really hard given elevation, wind, temperature, etc., but even if the real number…
This article speaks to me. I totally agree, and I think it captures so much of how I feel around the difference between events like Unbound, and events like what Big River Gravel and the folks who organize Snaggy are doing. Some of it I think comes down to why the organizers are putting in the effort. I can’t believe that folks that are doing Unbound and the folks that are doing…
I was an early adopter of bike radar, and I remain an enthusiastic evangelist around it because I see it as a critical safety device. Until recently, there was a lack of competition in the space, so I’m thrilled to see entrants from companies like Bryton, with its Gardia R300L.
