[This is the way to climb]

An oldy but a goody. Worth another look in the week before TDF.

[Tour de Frans - best service]

Not to hijack the post  but the other great LBS is Dunkeld Cycles. Awesome service from those guys as well

[What bikes are the TDF teams riding this year?]

Look in the latest Bicycling magazine. It includes details of every team, jersey, riders, frames, groupsets, wheels etc.

[Winner of the Daring Adventure Design Competition]

Bummer!

 

I wanted to win. Maybe next time

 

[Disappointing]

Just bought my ticket - suits me if nobody else enters as more chance for me to win  - I never win anything

 

Great campaign

[The Felt thread]

Almost slowjoe. I said that I considered the Felt but preferred the Specialized and the winner was that it was available immediately whilst Felt would have had to wait for.

 

How is that IDT?

[The Felt thread]

Seems to me like Felt rides need to justify their existance because they dont ride Specialized!!! Now THERE is a bike!!

[HR and power training]

Following the links from the previous hubbers, I came across the following link in one of the articles

Not sure how true it is, but certainly helps those of us without power meters

[Real Axiom virtual indoor trainer]

Glad to hear you got it to work. Spoke to Greg this morning about your issue. Strange thing is that for the week that I had it, never had any problems UNTIL you came to fetch it. That was the first time it gave me grief.

 

Got on to my IDT this morning for the first time since no Realaxiom and hated it - no info about the ride. Felt like I was training in the dark. I miss the power info

[Longest time on IDT ?]

Must be careful about standing to much on the IDT. Been warned that if you stand, the stress on the frame given that your back wheel is clamped in, can cause the frame to crack.
