    The tour has just been won on Campag!!! First time since IneosSky started winning it in 1935. Edit: Only 1 Campy team and 2 SRAM teams if memory serves....

    Only the naysayers that have never tried electronic.

    Coffee. All. Over. Screen. You're not a nice man Andymann!

    I don't think that deserves to be in comic sans. Over here gravel is the new brag bike. So much so that I'm developing a gravel specific titanium frame with a local company for people to drape GRX815 and exotic carbon all over! Mmmm schmolke....

    Ah. Hahahaha. HHAHAHAHAHA. HAAAAAHAHAHAHA. Oh. You're serious. That's pretty brave pricing. I know Campy lovers are devoted but that is going to stretch that devotion to the limit!
  6. Eldron
    My own rule is: never buy the first iteration of anything mechanical. Throw in Campy's first go at MTB gruppos and heeeeeell no I won't be buying this one anytime soon. Maybe Ekar V5.0 might be worth a go. The fact that I am a Shimano fan has nothing to do with it!!!!

    I don't think it is a transition. It's another just another parallel option like gravel bikes. More choice is betterer.

    100%! Touring on a motorbike is a great way to see the country! Yes that was a joke designed to take us aaaaaall the way back to "is an ebike really just a motorbike with an alternate fact name"? Yes it is. Yes it is Friday.

    I wonder if the man is still so confident? https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/tour-de-france/bjarne-riis-confident-ntt-will-continue-into-2021-season-467751

    Let's hope Bjarne has some good contacts but deeeeeep pockets. Over here Bjarne is hated and loved in equal measures and has a bit of a reputation of taking things and turning them into ****. Let's hope that is not the case with NTT - I see he hasn't actually handed over any cash yet - just "bought" into the team. Not entirely sure how that works....

    Hahaha snap. A broken seat pillar went through my calf at a 24 hour race and needed a bunch of stitches from 1Mil Hospital in Pretoria. Good times!

    Everesting on a BMX takes courage - descending on a BMX with a 450mm seat pillar that is "a little beyond its max" is true courage!

    Homer said it best: 1. “(Lisa) “I’m going to become a vegetarian” (Homer) “Does that mean you’re not going to eat any pork?” “Yes” “Bacon?” “Yes Dad” Ham?” “Dad all those meats come from the same animal” “Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!””

    If you're ever in Copenhagen I will buy you (or any other hubber who visits) one of these from a place called Hungry Dane. It will change your life forever - whether you're a vegan or not....
  15. Eldron
    Quite right. Like most things in life there are no absolutes. If you're an ecowarrior then flying to see your family halfway around the world is a big no-no but nobody is going to judge you if you do it (apart from us hubbers). If you're a BLM supporter but you really like that new IKEA cupboard then you'll happily buy it and nobody will judge you (apart from us hubbers and anyone with taste). Likewise vegans and leather. If you like the belt leather buy it - buying one every day probably makes you a hypocrite though.

    Nowhere to go from there. Dear god I love bacon. I don't feel bad eating a bacon and cheese burger every now and then. Nobody should. I reckon I'm down 90% in my meat eating. That is about where my moral compass and my tongue reach equilibrium.
  17. Eldron
    Has anyone ever met one of these preachy vegans offline? I think I met one once in my lifetime and that's it. I'd guess most preachy anythings mostly reside online.
  18. Eldron
    Amen brother (again!). I'm down to eating meat maybe twice a month. I love meat but the flavour world that opens up when you try decent vegetarian food is awesome. Meat already has a strong flavour - all you do is add a little flavour on top. Vegetarian food you start with very little flavour then need to profile, layer and add flavour until it's right. Agreed on the constitution as well. I can feel the difference when I eat meat so I limit it to a few times a month and then only top quality meat that I savour. Like most things in life - food doesn't have to be binary and divisive. The weird thing is someone can be a 99.99% vegetarian and nobody cares - remove that last 00.01% and suddenly you're a raving lunatic that hates people who eat meat.
  19. Eldron
    Amen brother. If melted some are palatable but in solid state they are fekkin awful.

    This. At least the guy that finished in 107th position actually finished. A lesson this all mouth no sack wee boy could learn.
  21. Eldron
    Ahhh man now I went and searched his feed. Turns out his latest offering is a lesson on how to be HARD Great ironic piece - I have some advice though. If you don't want to ride for 24 hours - then ride for 24 hours. Don't be a little bitch. If you don't want to Everest then Everest. Don't be a little bitch. If this okes legs moved like his mouth he would have won all the TdFs.
  22. Eldron
    But then how is going to brag about his rock hard manliness that he wants to rape my mom with????
  23. Eldron
    Big mouth. No mettle.
  24. Eldron
    If your views are this binary you shouldn't be on discussion boards.

    Read the post again. It's not about easier/harder - its about getting mentally lazy about riding a bike outdoors.
