Disc brakes are dead

Was I ever 53/39 ?! I can hardly turn 42/30

become enlightened and just accept the 30t 1x set up, it's so goated

@amey - The green thing is kinda interesting, I used to have a steel Salsa fargo which was actually very fun to ride - also nice because you can swap between flats and drops.

Question: how where the aliexpress sqlabs grip extensions, they look kinda interesting and was wondering if they're worth a punt

they are great! they are not copies of SQLabs, something else, @BareNecessities knows the ones they are copied from. SQLabs (which are not yet copied on aliexpress) have a nicer shape for my hands.

@ZenithE , it's these Spirgrips copy

Horrendous

if you can collect and drop from SE6 you can borrow mine?

Thanks! They look like Shrek ears, sqlabs do look comfier but €40 is annoying. That would be great I'm in SE4 - I'll send a DM :)

looking good

The Tevas with the dogs out 😭

Gotta let the puppies breathe

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

I just know the soles of those sandals smelt like an aged reblochon by the end of your rides.

ha! i didn’t notice or maybe superseded by the smell of the mitts; all soaked in dr bronners (lavender) end of the day and dried on hotel towels obvs

Oh that looks great, you did see the TdF live? Last year it was somehow not possible to watch it for us, even though we were so close sometimes with the camper van.

yep!

I always thought you would look like your little picture (whatever that’s called) by your name. You look nothing like it 😩

@amey 's avatar is more real than he is

Even more handsome than I remember.

Very cool looking set up and really enjoyed reading your captions.

the AI generated images arent far off from reality
