Will watch right now, curious about the outcome, as I have experienced the problem and was a reason for me to change to drop bars.

Team cars aren't allowed to just hang out in the middle of a large group. If you want to be resupplied within the peloton at any arbitrary moment, a rider will have to drop back to the motor convoy, grab a bunch of food and water, and carry it back up to their teammates. Performing little individual time trials like this is part of being a domestique.I was catching up on my Vuelta recordings and saw something I wasn't familiar with. Some poor rider had to wear a backpack with water bottles in it for his team. I've always seen cars give those out. He unfortunately also took a dive right in the middle of the pack.
Completed the survey. Interesting because I've always attributed any numbness to carpal tunnel from mouse/keyboard usage. I figured it was being aggravated while riding. Is there a way to tell if it's carpal tunnel vs cyclists palsy? Maybe which fingers are tingling?
Canyon Commuter
Canyon has a similar bike, it's slightly more expensive but uses an 11 speed and has slightly higher end components.
The gears in the back thing, is an ease of use feature.
One system uses a 1x system the other a 2x system. You will need to shift the "front gear" with the 2x system to use the full range of the gears. With the 1x system it's all there without needing to shift the "front gear".
It is generally referred to as a 1x or a 2x system (indicating the amount of blades at the front).
It's spoken as one by or two by.
Googling 1x versus 2x should give you some answers!
Such small chain rings trigger me. :SIt's almost time for n+1 until I sell one of my bikes to make space for the new one ( I need a bigger shed)
So I'm either picking up a Voodoo Bizango
Or the Norco Fluid 2 the NX eagle
Just deciding atm
On the other hand, I don't see the need for full chain rings. Like, reaching 80kmph is not realistic in all scenarios that are no long, steep descents!If it makes you feel better all my road bikes have full cranksets rather than compacts after a series of upgrades.
Did it! Ended up being 150km and 4800 meters of climbing because of some re-routing.
Super stoked and super stuffed. Time for beer.
It certainly wouldn't be easy to ride a bike with only half the crankset installed!If it makes you feel better all my road bikes have full cranksets
Incredible effort mate, awesome pics on Strava too! I can't imagine ever being fit enough to complete an epic ride like that but I sure am inspired.
Very pretty what's that fitted too?
I just bought this. For me, perfect looks and integrated LEDs make it really convenient. Light and speedy as well. I have hills on my daily ride, so the 9x2 gears also work for me.I am on the market for a commuter city bike. Anything comparable in to the Kona Dew Plus?
http://konaworld.com/dew_plus.cfm
similar price range or under $1000 USD total cost would be good.
I would like disk breaks and not too skinny tires and I want a straight handle bar too.
anyone know what is the deal with bikes Like the Kona Dew Delux (http://konaworld.com/dew_deluxe.cfm) that only has gears on the back tire? I've not tried one of those before... why don't you want to shift gears by the petals?
you guys have any tips or recommendations for commuting in the rain? specifically jackets or rain coats.
its almost rainy season where i live and i think i will continue to bike. there are showers at work if needed but i don't want to have to wake up any earlier.
I keep my work clothes at work so i don't mind getting my biking clothes wet as long as i can stay comfortable. keeping my backpack dry might be the most important thing.
i am thinking of getting a commuter e-bike to make things super easier on myself as well, that can be my rain bike and my single speed baby can be used in the good weather.

Hello everyone... again.
Just got myself a smart trainer for the upcoming winter. Long story short the trainer came with a 11-28 cassette but I use a 11-32 cassette. Do I need to get a new cassette or should have no problems with the different cassettes?
i wont lie, i dont understand what any of this means.Castelli Gabba 3 or a Castelli Perfetto with some Sportful NoRain Fiandre bib shorts. Granted its the best part of £300 (Or whatever that equates to in your currency) but worth it.
I've just bought an Ale Klimatik Atmo jersey, not tested it yet though to see how it compares to the above.
Allroad drivetrain ponderings...
Could such a thing really work? Maybe, if I throw a front friction shifter at it. Failure would be an expensive experiment!
hmm
No, the Shimano road drivetrain is just there for range and step-size visualization. My plan is to use a 46-36-24 triple with an 11-32 11-speed cassette.Am I reading this right? You're planning on using the triple from the bike with the 11-28 cassette?
Middle ring chainline should be fine across the whole cassette in the same way that 1x is fine. I probably won't want to spend much time in the small-small or big-big areas, though. (And in this hypothetical drivetrain, I'd probably exceed derailleur wrap by a couple teeth. With how I tend to size my chains, small-small will probably go slack and be unusable.)Wouldn't the chain crossover just lead to living on the middle ring and the 14-23 range on the rear?
