Now that is a PYGA I really want!

Anything is possible with them... bring Igor out of retirement, claim MK as theirs in case he gets a result.

Damn! I thought he'd retired back in 2018. Another one who has been conspicuous by his absence then. And isn't MK riding for Astana?

Get a Spez Slaughter in grid (or Black Diamond when they land). Much simpler.

I meant me! fWonder if it's a bad look to actually start walking from the beep of the timing chip.

As well... and fat... and unfit... and... and...

Can I get a tow? Is that cheating? Maybe there is a thread about that.

I thought he'd come out and said he wasn't doing the Vuelta last week...

EF Education First are a good example of how change has resulted in renewed success after a couple of massively barren years.

Ha, ha! I'm on an Ibis Ripmo and everything lines up nicely except I have miss matched tyres but 5 mins with a black marker sorted that out nicely but inside I still know. Pole are cool because the attention to detail and the little engraving bits can gloss over the oddness of that seat angle. Knollys freak me out as do Ellsworth with that awkward rocker. Anyway I can now look at that rocky now I've fixed it up!

What makes me feel funny is that the shock doesn't line up with the frame and the shock mount / cross brace doesn't line up to anything either and it makes my OCD alarm start twitching.

Damn good win by Niz', gritty as on a pretty steep run in. What a great course, final couple of kms and a really good watch. http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/ciclismo/giacomo-nizzolo-gana-primera-etapa-vuelta-burgos-2019/5365932/

The 80's called and they want their design ideas back. For some reason looking at the I instantly think of AC/DC, sleeveless denim jackets, boof hair and bad rock... but not in a good way.

Jeez it's getting grumpy in here today. Morning coffee seems to have kicked in.

With the showing they had at Le Tour I'm guessing that they regretted taking a squad at all. They should've just gone and watched as fans and took notes.

Yeah but look at the positives... 1) He finished 2) He was 2nd in the 30 - 40 placings 3) He was 2nd placed UK rider There is a lot of encouragement to take from that performance as he doesn't look to peak towards anything much at all in the back end of the season having decided not to to the Vuelta and the WCs are way too up and down.

The latest incarnation of the Calibre Bossnut looks pretty darn good for such a 'budget' bike. Maybe not a true 'bike for enduro' compared to some of the sleds here but I'd take it on one for sure esp if I was starting out and wanting to get in the bro' game.

Often wondered why TDD didn't start a ladies team and have AMP as the leader. Would have been a safer bet than a lot of the marquee signing that they've outlaid in the current roster.

Who? Who?

This one has got me very interested. Looks like a ton of fun!

Ah, after I'd pretty much stripped and tested most things (pedals, crank, BB, headset, pivot points, barings, shock bolts, saddle, dropper, checked spokes and more) and faff'd about with fitting the cranks over and over again it turned out to be a dodgy spacer on the cassette and a wrong spacer in the dub part of the BB. Grrrrrrr.

Purchase was the Droo's (and now a Roo) saving my sanity after the worlds most annoying 'noise that sounds like the BB breaking up that isn't ever going to be anything to do with the BB' and some big ass Hope rotors thanks to CWC sale. Yeah, I get the whole 'you should fix your own bike'. Well I tried that and like googling a sore toe and finding out you have lung cancer I did my research, bought a new crank for no reason. Wasn't that. I don't expect the stoke guys to come to my work and make a mess out of my job so I'm going with that approach. Would have had me on my bike 2 weeks earlier and saved coin if I'd just rolled it in their door to start with. Oh, if anyone wants a 170 NX dub standard crank with hardly any kms on it then it's going in to the classifieds in about 10 minutes!

Ohhh, someone is getting false info. You know it's about the girth. On socks. Obviously.

There a some nasy ones around there. Those 25%'rs are brutal. Try the Badgers Mount 10 Mile time trial loop. It's a classic and we can compare times!
