That needs the proper matching 9000 chainrings to be fully slave imo. Tell him to sort out the saddle angle too

I like the shimano sticker on the primato cranks haha

That's awesome. I love the yellow accents. Are those forks 1" threadless or is it an adaptor? And what bars are those?

Whats the thing on the stem that looks like its going to the front rack?

So as a sprint team, we’re very involved from the start to make sure
the right riders in the day’s breakaway goes clear, small enough that
we can chase it down whilst making sure there’s no other sprinter team
members present there & then we block, we physically slow right down
to 20kph so anyone that tries to jump has a huge gap to bridge. And
when I say we block the road I mean there isn’t an inch for a rider to
squeeze past. Then normally the race leader will stop for a pee and
riders ‘should’ see that as a MARK (Cavendish) of respect that the
breakaway has gone.

It’s a fight here for the break, 50km yesterday, 30km today. (I’ve
attached the data) of constant attacking until the right group sticks
and we can block the road. • Today one particular rider was very keen
to be in the break. So keen he took matters into his own hands and did
something I’ve never seen. I won’t name names but this was a Worldtour
rider in a Worldtour team.

Whilst front row slowing things down. This particular rider decided to
shove me as hard as he could from behind with his hand so I would
lurch forwards out of the line so as to make a gap for himself to jump
through and go and join the breakaway. Apparently he’d tried this move
with one of the most well respected riders in the peloton earlier
also. I reacted fast and anchored on the brakes to keep him blocked,
then proceeded to tell him quite impolitely & in a raised voice that I
would make it my personal goal of the day to ensure that he would not
feature in the breakaway. Which I and the other victim to his antics
subsequently did, ruthlessly.

You maybe thinking he was just trying to race his best and it was
unfair to focus on ruining his ambitions for the day, but let me make
2 things clear, 1. What he did was dangerous & I’m sure there’s a uci
rule about physically pushing another rider & 2. It actually made
sense for him to be in the breakaway, had he asked if he could slip
through and join the break we’d have allowed it, 3 would become 4 up
the road, his ambitions were in the intermediate competitions & thus
inconsequential to the result of the day, but he resorted to
aggression & dangerous moves & sealed his own fate.

Alex Dowsett tweets about how sprinting teams literally block the road to impede riders from going in the break and complains that some rider try to go past the physical block imposed by sprinting teams. Tweet and instagram post has been deleted after harsh reception from fans.

I know pretty much every team blocks and makes sure the breakaway is acceptable to them so they can have an easier day but this makes him come across as a dick imo

You can go secondhand on the games as well for a fair bit off. I bought a few secondhand and sold them on for the same once I finished them

I had the same a good while back, I ended up binning it.

Probably just as well because I'd say I'm over the weight limit for most carbon seatposts atm ha

I'd go (and have haha) 1080p 144Hz tbh. I don't think the difference between 1080p and 4k is as noticeable as 60Hz and 144hz.

144Hz is quite nice even for regular use

Oh right, thanks! That sounds like a nightmare. Although easier than losing a nipple in a metal rim on a finished wheel I guess. That's no fun, not recommended.

Wheel building noob here, but how does having no rim bed spoke holes work? How do you get the nipples in?

I love that bike. That'd probably be almost exactly what I'd build if I went custom or did a framebuilding course

Bit stupid suggestion, but I've been caught out by it once before and couldnt figure it out - did you grease the threads when you installed it?

Only this one on YouTube

I think it looks like a full size can of coke zero. FFS, ruining the traditions of cycling

Just came across this site on reddit, there's some nice builds on it. My 2 muddyfoxes will probably end up looking similar to some of them.

Oh right, I thought they had the same geometry as well

I thought a pompetamine was just a pompino with discs (and wider rear spacing)? What would be different in a new pompino with discs?

Dunno how accurate it is, but I wouldn't have guessed mvdp would have been paid less than some of these guys

I use a wired 360 controller, I just plug it in and it works. My desktop doesn't have Bluetooth and I'm most used to it than any of the other options

Iirc (think I read it on here somewhere) it's to do with legal standards for max clearances for bike tyres in frames and forks needing something like 4 or 5mm all around, so you can always fit slightly larger tyres than what a manufacturer claims.
Don't think it's anything to do with them trying to keep their gravel sales going

Were those rules not coming in on April 1st? Should be still ok to use it for now I thought

Adidas have just released a samba version that does spds. Definitely getting a pair, my five 10s are ugly and the heels are falling apart. Hopefully the cleat is properly recessed. Now to decide between yellow and navy

My armchair analysis guess is that he might have slipped off the front of the saddle. Unexpected change of weight on his arms made him swerve. I know I've been close to doing it at the end of a race a few times.

They probably wouldn't be too quick to admit that, and the bike looked fine (as far as I could see in the few seconds afterwards). I hope they announce the reason whatever it was though

There's auto captioning available now. Very accurate, but no punctuation is a bit annoying and it's impossible to tell that there's 2 commentators.
