The CFR696 needs the support plate for the 105 front mech (FD-R7000)? I discovered today that this part exists, when my FD arrived. Looks like there's a good space (blue line) between the screw (orange arrow) and the…

After doing some research, yes, bigger rotors have more stopping power. I found a comment of he saying that didn't included it in the video because in cars the difference is very small between available sizes.
I came across this channel a few weeks ago, it's incredible how simple and interesting he makes topics about cars and engines in general. If you like the subject or is simply curious about it, I fully recommend it. He…

While this time this may do something at least measurable, I bet it will end up like the Zertz did.
Yeah, when I talk "wider" is something close to 32. But I think some really bad places or more recreational riders may benefit from 40-45 too. Some pictures of the places I ride. I believe ~32 is a sweet spot for all…
To illustrate, my city have really great places to ride, like this one, were narrower tires are ok and probably a little faster. But also have sectors with small imperfections that don't look like much, but my ass and…
As my understanding goes, tire speed depends on 3 factors: Rolling Resistance Vibration loses Aerodynamics Each time the tire encounter an irregularity in the pavement, it loses forward momentum to bounce up and down.…
From everything I'm reading I think I'm going straight to 170, from 175...

I have a MTB that was driving me crazy, it had intermittent noises that started after 30 minutes (really hard to show to a mechanic), but everyone riding with me could hear then. With time it got worse and more…
BikeInn had the Corsa N.EXT 34 in stock, more than 50 units, and it was sold out incredibly fast, like the Pirelli Cinturato 35. While smaller tires seems to be stuck in stock for months... (yeah, with the parts…

@Vince_73 I have 1,88 and 87 inseam, and went for the CFR696 size 58. This will give me the exact same fit as my Road Bike, but without spacers, because of the higher stack. But I'm building basically a Road Bike with…
I think this S-Ride Rear Derailleur is something a lot of people are looking for. It's compatible with Shimano STIs (GRX or Road), and can handle 11-50 in 1x and 11-44 in 2x. Quality seems to be ok, should work without…
@stu you are not alone, I also find hard to get an exact number. I get 40-41, I think the ideal for me is 40, with the STIs angled slight inward, seems very natural. Bikes for my size usually comes with 44. Also not…
