jose Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) he earned that right Yes, of course. He is a great cyclist and has an increíble palmarés, but Dowsett is the current champion and he is younger. Edited May 12, 2015 by jose Quote
Voltron Posted May 17, 2015 Report Posted May 17, 2015 Wow, the Tour de California was amazing this year. I won't spoil it for anybody time-shifting, but I just watched yesterday's and today's stages and it was thrilling. Quote
grawk Posted May 17, 2015 Report Posted May 17, 2015 Just rode 16 miles for my first ride of the year. Half a mile in my seat post collar gave up so I did the ride with my seat all the way down. Still did ok. Quote
VPI Posted May 17, 2015 Report Posted May 17, 2015 I think I would have given up at a half mile and gone home Quote
Dreadhead Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Rode each day this weekend. Felt really good. I'm pretty confused because my power numbers don't look that bad but again I am 50lbs heavier so I'm a bunch slower. Looking forward to more riding this year. Quote
guzziguy Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I got a feedback sports rack from performance bike that was $99 and works great Ken, Either ^^^ what Dan said or keep an eye on CL. I've seen some good deals roll through NH for stands and you're in a much higher density area. Also, I own a Feedback stand as well and it is very nice but mine is not in budget (about double). I've checked the local CL every day since you suggested it Nate. Not a single work stand has appeared. So today I bought a PCS-10 and a floor pump from my niece's fiance.

Mister X Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 A new cassette sounded like a good reason to do the bottle thing with the chain. Prolly should have done it sooner then 800 miles. Quote
Mister X Posted May 23, 2015 Report Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) The computer stole 5 miles from me! Should have know the chart in the manual was not accurate.... Edited May 23, 2015 by Mister X 1 Quote
Dreadhead Posted May 23, 2015 Report Posted May 23, 2015 You watching nationals again this year Brent? 1 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 You watching nationals again this year Brent? Since I live just over a mile from part of the course, that's the plan. Not sure if I want to do hours and hours again, or even the finish, but will definitely watch some of it. **BRENT** Quote
n_maher Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 I had a go a creating a course in Garmin's software this morning. We'll see how it goes on the ride this afternoon. I set a moderately aggressive pace for the ride - a 24 mile, mostly uphill ride to some of our friend's house. Not sure that was the best idea considering that I'm a) pretty out of shape and trying out a new saddle. That latter point is probably doubly true in terms of less than great ideas but here's to hoping for more comfort, less pain. Quote
Dreadhead Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Good luck Nate. I did 2 laps of the lake this morning before I went out fishing with my family. I may be fat and slow but I'm pretty darn happy Quote
Dreadhead Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Forgot to mention that I had to buy a cheap front wheel at Performance after discovering a cracked into Zipp front wheel hub. At least it's under CPSC recall so should be covered entirely but I really wish that Zipps didn't fall apart. This is my first front hub failure but I have had 2 rear hub failures. Ridiculous for any wheelset much less the "Clydesdale" build of $$$ wheels. Quote
grawk Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Got it back. Time to test ride then tape the bars 1 Quote
n_maher Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Looking good, Dan. Me - commuted to work yesterday. The morning was perfect, 70, no sun, no wind. The afternoon, not so much. Blazing sun, 10-15mph headwind and 90 degrees. I was spanked by the time I got home. Quote
grawk Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 I did 7 or so with 250 ft of climbing. I'm out of shape. 1 Quote
grawk Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 http://www.strava.com/challenges/climb-for-nepal I just signed up for this. Almost 30k ft of climbing in june. It'll be brutal, but it's for a good cause. Quote
nikongod Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Remember Rule 5. You will get it done. Just ride up and down your driveway a bunch. Quote
grawk Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Anyone have a favorite (or hated) garmin mount recommendation? I need 2 for mountain bikes, one for a cross bike, and one for the calfee. Quote
n_maher Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 For MTB's I just use the standard, rubber-band-secured Garmin mount. For the road bike I use a K-edge mount like this - http://www.amazon.com/K-Edge-Handlebar-Computer-Mount-Garmin/dp/B00DR7CDPS. Quote
VPI Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 I stopped using all my k-edges and changed to the Garmin plastic mount. Seems to work very well, might protect the locking tabs better and looks great on all my black bars. Quote
grawk Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 So I threw the calfee on the scale, and without having made any real effort to make a light bike, it's 18.5 lbs ready to ride (ancient seat, mtb campus pedals, alloy wheels) 3 Quote
n_maher Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 Nice, Dan. Gives me an idea of what mine probably weighs. Quote
