Mathias Fluckiger returns doping positive. Immediately removed from the Swiss team at European champs and asked to leave the team hotel... WTF? True or False
Brings us also back to the topic on insurance. Just received my new schedule and my 2021 brand new vehicle priced way more than my Sworks is cheaper (by more than 50%) to insure. When I questioned this (1st time I actually read this damn thing), they responded that they have referred it to management... Like really?!
There I though I was dealing with management 🤪
I would think not really so... The reason being, if your longs are not waterproof and you expect loads of rain or river crossings, I would say that wet longs are worse than riding without longs...
Just use your glue gun, and give it some rubber (glue) spots. And come summer or the non raining season, you can just remove and next rainy season repeat. No damage, no fuss, quick, quick. And you will hardly notice it...
In regards to gloves, you get these waterproof gloves at motorbike shops, that you can pull over any standard glove. They are 100% waterproof and also keep out the cold. I have used them this week and last week in Cape Town (and many years commuting in Cape Town winters) and you can access your brakes, gears etc. They also have a sort of a leather thingy on the grip side, so grip is also not an issue.
And they are pretty cheap in comparison...
Will do photos if anyone is keen on a closer looksee.
LOL - Hello, my name is Johan, and #iamspecialized. Not only do I have the top of the range very expensive Epic Sworks, I also have a very expensive Specialized Road Bike, a Specialized top of the range Hard Tail and a super smart Specialized Single Speed, and yes a couple of other cheapies as well... I am so sorry - I will try to be a better person... 😂
This is what I like from today's riders - out with the "this is the way it has always been done".
Hopefully someone also attacks from the go on the last day... #imaginethat
It is what makes for an interesting tour.
If MdvP planned to ride the entire tour he would have approached it way differently, me thinks. I think it is unfair to compete with riders who know they must do a 3 week tour and you planning just to do a week. They must spare themselves whilst you can go harder and be a disrupter because of your mindset of only doing this for a week.
I do not like it, never liked it when a rider pulls out other than with a crash, injury or sickness.
It should not be tolerated.
Thanks DJR, I will most definitely have a look see. Velotex also have the retro shirt, bib and cap for the Peugeot. Bit pricey and worried about the fit... I usually take a medium shirt and large bib, but always found Velotex to be slightly different...
Got my hands over the weekend on a beautiful Rapport Peugeot awesomely restored by buffvintagebikes. Took it for a 110 km ride on Sunday to the top of Chappies and was pleasantly surprised on the comfort and handling, climbing and descending of the bike. I am pretty stoked with bike #8, my 1st Vintage... Any idea on Retro Kits?
Still the same situation, many moons later this is still not on the selves here. I keep on looking and *keep on buying the really poor existing cycling magazines because I must have, and they are on the selves taunting me to buy... *and every time I say never again, just to buy it again...
Good question, I guess because it is so in the open now and that with bragging rights, and I know myself, I will react badly on the day when I see this, and will not be able to use my very effective EI factor effectively... [emoji12][emoji41] And I cannot enter my VTX1800... #unfair
