Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
I have to admit that I don’t follow the all-road genre closely, but that is mostly because IMO it shouldn’t exist. If you want an all-road bike, go buy a gravel bike with road-leaning geometry. It will be more capable. Not much more to say there……
Not much of a change here, mostly just bug fixes, except that Garmin seems to have erased 16.60 from the official change log? I wasn’t able to make it update via Garmin Express, but since it should be the same as the 16.70 RC, you can download the binary directly. 16.70 Chang Log Notes (all changes since 16.60): Improved device name shown when mounted to a Windows computer to be more descriptive.…
While I wish that Garmin had added an option for proper 2FA (two-factor authentication), I guess having something is better than what they’ve doing. Granted, at least for me, the data that Garmin collects isn’t that sensitive or high-risk that it really warrants the device based OTP model, but that would still be my preference. Steps to enable: Go to www.garmin.com Login and select “Account” from the person icon () in the…
Light, aero, integrated, and the $300 price isn’t bad [relatively]. If the hose/cable exit is convenient, couldn’t tell from the press photos, this could be a great option for those looking to retrofit an aero handlebar setup on their bike. Introducing The Roval Rapide Handlebar Aero on the Leading Edge May 24th, 2021, Morgan Hill, CA – Wind is the ultimate cruelty, and nowhere is it more keenly met than the leading…
I’m not entirely sold on the necessity of forward/back motion from a rocker plate. But, there’s no denying that it couldn’t hurt, and $800 isn’t terrible… There’s a lot of neat in KOM’s approach, but mostly it demonstrates how easy it would be to retrofit an existing rocker with similar kit 🤔.…
This is a weird one… Garmin has been BETA/RC testing different revisions b/w 16.00 and the 16.60 version that was released last night for a month or two, but the change log for 16.60 (clearly a different version than the 16.30 I’ve been running for a several weeks now) is sparser than what they documented for 16.10->16.30. I had hoped the strange amount of lag in the release process was Garmin lining…
Please tell me that I’m not the only one who almost turned this video straight off after witnessing the presenter’s [sponsored] kit choice. I did manage to silence the voice in my head that was whispering “that’s not aero” over and over again; well enough to make it all the way through anyway. And, while I’m still a bit traumatized by the experience, it was worth it because the Canyon Grizl actually…
There is definitely something to be said for e-bikes that don’t look like obvious e-bikes. How else can you demoralize the local apex predators when coolly passing them by without breaking a sweat? Ribble Cycles has two e-bikes that do exactly that, and are relatively light (in e-bike terms) as well as being svelte. Ribble Cycles launch superlight e-bikes Ribble’s flagship and award-winning electric carbon road bike, the Endurance SL e, is now available…
While ZwiftHub isn’t a critical cycling utility, it certainly makes tracking achievements in Zwift so much easier. Like to the point, where I actually do it, instead YOLO’g every course selection. Thankfully, it has received a stay, and will be joining the ZwiftInsider family – which totally makes sense, as does Zwift throwing them a few $ to make the transition. Toby did some very fine work with ZwiftHub, and we knew…
Offering a lifetime no-fault crash warranty alongside modern rim specifications (cough, including tubeless support), the Roval Rapide C 38 wheelset seems like a decent offering, especially considering the $1,000 price tag alongside its DT Swiss 370 star-ratchet freehub. They aren’t the lightest set available, but 1600g isn’t terrible for what should be a solid set of wheels. Product Specifications: 38mm External Rim 21mm Internal Rim Width Carbon Clincher Tubeless Ready New DT…
