I don't have any strong feelings toward Phil and Paul, but Phil does produce a lot of real head scratchers. Case in point: during the TTT yesterday he stated Contador is a pure climber, and wondered...

New developments: I tried my old rear wheel (oem Alex job, but true and no clicking on my other bike), and also an Ultegra cassette. No combination of cassette/wheel fixed the clicking. This leaves...

Stiff link is what I thought at first too. However, I checked and there is none. Plus, it clicks once every cassette revolution, not once every chain revolution.

RD is definitely adjusted right,...

Clicking Cassette/Chain

So I just installed a brand new SRAM Rival group about a week ago. Everything is operating smoothly, but on the 3rd and 4th (1 being smallest and 10 largest) cogs I'm getting a click from the...

I can actually get 4-5 bikes in the back with the front wheels removed (and both seats folded down). Just depends how you do it. Another big bonus: it has tie-downs in the back, so you can use bungee...

Oh I'm sure you're right, but nothing wrong with justifying a little extra bling is there? :D

Having said that, I'm just going to save the money and stick with the Rival crank.

My main issue is that there is no source listed. Being an engineer I'm pretty suspicious of anything that doesn't have any source listed whatsoever. I mean, I don't even know where this table came...

Anyone seen this crank comparison table before?

Where does it come from? Is it even close to valid?

I ask because I'm putting SRAM Rival on a new build, and I'm trying to decide whether to go with a different crank or not. Unfortunately if I...

I have a pair of the CX 165, they're nice shoes. Sidi just didn't fit me right (too narrow). These fit well. If they fit you and you like them, I'd go for it.

5' 9.5"
130 lbs

I'm a decent climber, but not as good as I should be given my weight. Oh well, that'll change after some training, at least I know I have the right body for it :).

Those are what I use. I have about 800 miles on them with no problems. They seem to grip the road quite well.

Another owner here. If the shape fits you, it's a great saddle, especially for the price. It's lightweight, cool looking, and quite comfy (again, as long as it fits you). Of course, it's also much...

First of all, this could very well be a fit issue. I bought my bike before I knew a whole lot about bikes, and it's a little big. I'm getting a nicer bike this summer, and I will definitely get it...

Okay, so when I ride, I always have a problem with my left elbow, but never with my right. Basically, after about 30 minutes on the bike (and hence weight on my arms) my elbow starts to ache a little...

For ease of clipping in and unclipping for the pedals, I really like Speedplays (their float is nice too). I tried a pair of Speedplay X5s and Crank Bros. Eggbeaters, and aside from the fact that I...
