I don't have one. ;) Can I borrow yours? I wouldn't mind taking one out and giving it a run down the mountain.



If you win with something nobody will be laughing at you. They'll be using...

That's just ridiculous because nobody uses 19mm tires at 200psi unless they are on a track. We're not talking about riding on rocks. :) People generally run between 70-120psi depending on what...

I respect your opinion on that but it is still contrary to what I've experienced through my years of racing but that just might be our different...

I'd argue that a low profile tire would actually handle better. A high profile (by high profile I'm assuming a tall sidewall), low air pressure tire is much more likely to have tire roll (unless it...

I think I would (strongly) disagree with this. First off, narrow high pressure tires does not equal poor high speed handling. I race on high pressure tires and can honestly say that I have never...

I would assert that term "classic randonneur" as used to define a bike is a manufacture of the Pacific NW, more specifically from BQ. When I started doing brevets back in the early 90's there was no...

Yeah, I think the actual french definition is "to walk, ride, drive, to go trekking." It's definitely not a cycling specific term. I'm not a big fan of "Heineology." :) He's a great rider and...

I would disagree with that. Rando bikes are not a tough bill, people make them a tough bill. You can build any bike into a rando bike and you don't need all the bells a whistles on it. Fenders,...
