I just did an 80 miler with a Camelback Rogue (1.5l). I didn't like the way the hose snapped into the shoulder strap. It was restricting flow when it was clipped in, and flopping around when it wasn't. I was at race…
I just bought a couple of CL rotors from JensonUSA. They had the best price of any domestic retailer, plus a couple of dollars/rotor cheaper than Merlin. Now that the UK suppliers are no longer selling Shimano to the…
If you can live with the shifting, I'd put the money towards a new wheelset.

Unfortunately the new route made it really easy to bail out at the halfway point. Maybe I just needed to HTFU. Regardless, it was a great ride. It was well supported and organized. Hopefully we'll have better weather…
I re-read the course description. Apparently, the 120 course is counter-clockwise, while the shorter routes are out-and-back along the 2nd half of the 120 route. I think I understand it now. I was thinking that if I was…
Do we have a Garmin/GPS file on this? The one I found on Strava was from a couple of years ago and seems to be anti-clockwise. The route this year appears to be clockwise. Thankfully, I think I'm going to be able to do…

FYI, I'm at 21.6lbs after installing the Ultegra 6800 groupset. This is after changing out the aforementioned groupset, stem, seatpost and saddle. It includes my K-edge combo Garmin/GoPro mount. What are the rest of you…

NoCoGreg wrote: Zman - I agree with your assessment of the Roker Sport. It's an interesting mix of parts. Back to my original post, after returning the bike to the LBS which worked on it already, they determined the…
We had a guy here in town who was very mountain-bike focused. No one who took their road bikes to him ever felt like he was any good. I'm not sure how different of a skill-set it is, but that's just one example. He's…

Thanks for the heads-up. We got rooms in Casper for the weekend. There should be 4 of us from Castle Rock ready to have some fun!
Thanks for checking that!
I have Shimano Tiagra 2x10 speed on the "Roker Sport." I'll ask my buddy who has the Comp version you have what his RD# is. So can I buy the one from 925 Engineering as a backup? I think $10+ shipping is a bargain to…
