Di2 will come quickly. It has to. Shimano is losing a lot of ground in sales.
Got an email from Western BIkeworks taking preorders. Mechanical only so far--which is a bit of a surprise. I do like the 1x options--10-45 and 10-51 for when things get steep. I'm assuming these are just their mountain…
Trek Domane? Has decent tire clearance, although Isospeed might add a few grams...
Find some Renegades. I’ve seen S-Works 2.1s very cheap
I’ve always been partial to Shimano, but I’m really drawn to the 43/30 SRAM. I was looking at a bike with GRX 48/31, but it would be way over-geared for the riding I do.

Hmmmm. Like these as a potential CX tire.
If you’re on a ROAD 11 speed hub, you need a spacer to run a MOUNTAIN cassette.
I might find myself with a little extra cash, and these bikes have a decent markdown (although I think they were overpriced to begin with for the spec). I like to ride a bit of single track, and the AXS mullet will work…
I’m not a huge PF BB fan, but if you have a bearing press, what more do you need?
Hmmm. This reminds me of the changes since my first mtb races I did in the late eighties. It was pretty casual and fun. There was a trials event. My friends and I rode the trials in a shirt and tie. Mountain bike racing…
Interested in this. I've developed some circulation issues in my toes, and if they get too cold, it's painful for quite some time. I wear some goretex Shimano MTB shoes, but they're not enough as temps get to freezing.…
Hi, Just curious how to go about this without breaking the bank. I’m guessing an 11-34 cassette is one option, but not much of an improvement for really steep climbs. Sun race offers an 11-40 8 speed cassette. Go Road…
I have to admit this thing has me curious.
I’m guessing the 180 rotor is a no-go for safety reasons rather than physical fit?
I like the idea of something like this on a flat bar to provide an added position: https://ridefarr.com/int/product/farr-alloy-aero-bolt-on/ There's also a fancier carbon bolt-on, or integrated bars as well.
Like many of you, I'm sure, I'm always trying to re-evaluate the bikes I have and the bikes I think would compliment each other the best. Right now, I have 120/120 mountain bike frame on the way to replace my hardtail,…
I rode a Raleigh Willard for a couple of seasons. The bike served me well, but I started to get into CX, and wanted a bike that was a little more “racy”. I found a “new” 2015 Trek Boone frame on Pinkbike. Yes, I would…
I’d just go with a Salsa El Mariachi frame.
