If someone has all the dates and times of the cycling events, perhaps we can pin it to the opening post for easy access.

It’s honestly all relative tbh. What works for some might not work for others. I also think the type of riding you do and also your own body type (weight, height) etc play a big role. As an example, I am 1.65m and weigh 60kg. When I purchased a dropper post, I was advised to take the maximum drop i could get. However, upon testing I actually found that I preferred less drop and hardly ever utilised the full drop. For me, I liked the smaller drop just to get over the saddle and that was more than enough. I personally wouldn’t get anything more than 100mm. I could even go lower to be frank. However, a taller person might need more drop so it’s all relative. Wrt suspension at my weight, I am more than happy with just 100mm travel. It’s also lighter and makes it a better all rounder imo. Obviously if someone weighs 90 or 100kg, then that’s a lot af extra weight so for that person, more travel will probably be better. Your stanchions are also thicker and stronger to cope with that. So again all relative.

I doubt any stage will be given to a breakaway. It’s pretty clear that Pogi is a proper bike racer. He wants to win races and I’m pretty sure he wants to break Cav’s record. Wouldn’t surprise me if he goes for this one.

Personally if it’s a low end bike then I’d just get a bike with discs. If you’re buying a brand new bike, the only way I’d go rim brakes now is if it’s a high end frame and the discount is substantial. Then it’s something to look at. But on the lower end, just go disc brakes.

Mate forget about the stats. You can immediately tell when Pog is over or under the limit just by using your eyes.

Did he really go deep yesterday? To me he rode smart. His teammates protected up until 4km to go.

I think they sense that the Pilchards team is much weaker this year. Honestly chapeau to Pollitt who done so much work for so long and then Soler who actually ramped it up afterwards with an insane pace which put the whole Visma team in the hurt.

Show of strength from Pogacar today. Raced so much smarter, used his teammates to perfection and killed Jonas when it matters and that’s right at the end. He has a nice buffer now which means Jonas will probably try something tomorrow and he can essentially just ride on his wheels and kill him tomorrow on the final climb. With no Kuss and no Roglic, Visma are not as strong as previous years.

Main Cheese in the second breakaway group.

I’ll have to check. They’re a few years old so most likely not available. Was hoping it would be like a standard size.

I currently have a set of carbon road wheels which have novatec hubs on. It currently has a Shimano HG freehub. I’m looking for some advice on how to convert this to an XD freehub. Are the XD free hubs brand specific or can I just buy any XD freehub and it’ll work?

Any feedback on this saddle after some usage? How much is the fake supacaz and is it any good?

If you don’t care about damaging your car then go for it. You’d also need to watch your speed as any little bumps and rollers will kinda shift it and shake it etc. If you want a proper rack that will last a lifetime, get a tow bar mounted one. It doesn’t have to be the expensive platform ones but any tow bar rack will be so much more secure than this.

I blame Mountain Bru. The man has had it in for him since day 1.

Think they are direct to consumer like Canyon.
