My new custom geometry Fred-roller was finished last night. I post it so you can feel better about your actual bikes. |

The ladies tell me my head tube is "huge."
|
holy crap. the ladies aren't wrong. how tall are you?
|
6 foot with a 92cm inseam. Oh, short arms too. This is the first bike I've been able to ride for more than 20 miles without agony.

No, I typically roll slower downhill than other riders, yet I still find myself tapping the brakes going down the first big hill.

Tall mofo.

6 foot even, not that tall.
It's well known that the t-Rex was a monster on the flats but got dropped on the hills. |

Dude, you need pace yourself so that someday you might last half the ride before you get dropped.

We're having cycling Q&A?
Someone explain this: How come on the Road Nazi ride--for the brief time I last--it seems I can't get my speed right? I try to maintain a steady effort and anticipate the pace, but I keep having to tap my brakes when I'm up close. Yesterday I was focusing on not having to brake, yet I still couldn't avoid it. |

yup. actually one of them was talking about going to mt ventoux and some kind of holiday taking in 4 mountains. i think i'll pass on that one. nuts. these people are totally nuts.
You are in denial, you know too that deep down within yourself you are jelous, you are suffering from climbers envy. You are not ready. One day you will embrace the suck and climb the mountain within, it is inevitable. eat all the peanutbutter you want, it cant help you. |
To the pro-platform pedal crowd that says that you're not really doing any work on the upstroke with clipless shoes/pedals, my goddamn sore hamstrings disagree with you.

Blame the clown doing the pulling for not holding his speed constant and Yelled at him. To become a road nazi you must first learn to think like one.
It's 98F outside. |

Too big a group to blame one person, or even yell to the front, for that matter.
It's 98F outside. YOU, are the road nazi. Certainly it couldnt be YOUR fault. You are still failing to grasp the concept, or the sarcasm. Its 102 here,( acourding to the local high schoolsign) and going to storm. I feel your pain, but, I am still going riding. eff it, and me. |
It goes without saying that we, here, posting in and reading the 41 Addiction thread, all suck as cyclists, right? It's true! The proof is out there on the road - You see him all the time, the roadie who passes you effortlessly no matter if the road is flat or positively angled. He's not only fast, but looks good doing it, and never seems as though much effort is being expended. It just seems so impossible to achieve that level of cycling performance. So what's the difference between the two of you? You can start with the fact that he's not reading and posting in Bike Forums! There, I said it.
It's maybe 78 here. |

Oh well good luck with that. Edit; after examining the chain more thouroughly one of the side plates came off one of the pins. wtf. so I am not the monster I thought I was. Damnit! more work to do.. stupid chain. |

From the Road Nazi ride I know faster riders are out there--I just hardly ever see them riding solo. I've wondered where they hide. |
