Someone on the local FB bike trading group is selling a 5800 group for $500. I was nice and didn't mention that Ribble sells them for $367 shipped.

Hey. Apparently Lynskey says you should replace a crabon fork every 5 years. Every other is just nonsense.

I can't believe how often a car cocks things up in an intersection by trying to let me go against the right of way. I want to wring their necks. Just drive your car dammit and let me worry about riding my bike.

And the Lynskey recommendation isn't?

If you have a Thomson stem, I would replace the fork with the stem every two years, as Thomson suggests.

Vintage carbon fiber. He's a randonneur and says he has 10s of thousands of miles on it. No asplonsions.

If you rotate forks and stems can you get more mileage out of them?

We just got a new Ricoh copy machine installed at the office. :thumb:
Now we just need a new phone system. |

It's a joke. There is ZERO evidence for changing a carbon fork based on age alone. You know that.

Sure I know you're joking. And me too. Lynskey, not so much.

I suspect Lynskey is suggesting this not so much for the revenue, but to be extra-cautious about possible CF fork asplosion.

Where is this? I trust you are in a motor car and not on your bicycle....
Headed up to coach's house in Reno for a weekend of climbing. Should be awesome. We have maybe 15000 ft of elevation gain over 130ish miles on the agenda for this weekend. Yikes, I've been doing lots flat stuff lately and I'm already the puniest of the group. I ask what we're doing and I get an answer like "Riding over a mountain from Reno to Lake Tahoe & back". And that's the easy ride. :) Good timing, I'm going to ride the Santa Barbara century next Sat which is 9000ish ft of climbing. It will be good to remind myself what it's like to climb. And of course I'm bringing the TT bike so we can futz around with that some. :) :) :) |

Mavic cranks act as an amulet of protection against asplosions.
But, not a picture of his actual bike. Just a random interwebz foto. He had replaced his original DT shifters with 9 speed Campy Ergo. |

That's terrible, @Heathpack. I do hope she heals well. I also hope she got the plate number of the car she hit.
I can't answer why the lady in my video was so upset, or why she drives the way she does. I'm pretty numb to most of the crap I deal with every day, to be honest. That's not a good answer, but it's the truth. A few weeks ago, I went down because I avoided a car pulling out in front of me. She actually got out, and was apologetic as can be. I just stated that I'm OK, and not even mad, as I deal with behavior like this daily. |
