Can I remove and reinstall the same cables?

I just had my cables and housing replaced a couple weeks ago. But now I want to strip my bike down to its frame and...uh...paint it, and then rebuild it. Since the cables are basically new, can I...

I have been training with a fixed-gear for a couple years. For climbing hills, it was very good for me. I love hill workouts on my fixie. For cycling in general, I don't think it has been good for...

+1 to that.

I just finished a veloce/centaur 10-speed build, keeping meticulous records on the cost because I'm cheap as hell. I bought every part separately at various online dealers, and the...

Nice job. It's okay to underestimate your swim in your first few races. It's certainly better than overestimating it and having something bad happen.

If you have an aero seat tube you've GOT to have an aero seatpost. The aero frames with round seatposts look totally disgusting to me.

So do road drops with clip-on aerobars. It's just too much...

Yeah, lose it on race day, because mirror-wearing cheaters are becoming quite infamous lately. Assuming you listen to that and wear it only in training, I don't think the aerodynamics matter much. ...

Dude, you will look like the hugest tool if you're training in an aero helmet. There's no reason wear one outside of a race. An aero helmet in training will make you look like you don't know what...

I'd say the choice depends on your riding style.

Fixies have the advantage that you can modulate your speed without grabbing the brakes, and they are easier to climb with than a freewheel bike...

Magnesium or titanium?

I have been looking for a new road bike for not too much money (sorry I can't afford that Cervelo Soloist Team), so I was trolling ebay for a CAAD8 or CAAD9 frame when I came across an inexpensive...

That's right. You have to go OUTSIDE of Seattle to get good biking. I don't think Seattle itself is very good for biking, and I don't understand how it always makes the lists of best bicycling...

The soloist team looks really nice. One thing I can't figure out though: is the frame much different from the old Cervelo Dual? My tri bike is a 2005 Dual. I can't find info on the Dual geometry...
