I suppose it is possible you got a lemon in terms of the new BB that was installed. Did you attempt to regrease it yourself? A few years back the Trek Across Maine had such torrential downpours that a jewish guy was loading animals into a boat 2x2. By mile 50 of the 68 that first day, my BB was squeaky as could be. I knew it was in need of ...

Afternoon - After my failed attempt at Mt. Washington a few folks including a past winner who I know, have suggested using a 26-28 tooth chainring in the front. Furthermore, it's been suggested by a trusted mech that a mountain bike crank would be ideal - to which I agree. I have the tools necessary to swap them out. So my question is for ...

I was relatively fit this past July when I attempted the Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hill Climb Practice Ride a month out from the actual race. I'm using a 2013 R3 with SRAM Red 22 (cabled) with a wi-fli RD and a 32 T cassette, with 50/34 red crank. I ran out of gears and have been advised to find a much smaller chain ring for the ...

So not sure if this will help or not, but this spring I put SRAM Red 22 on my R3. At the time I kept my Rotor 3D+ compact crank on the bike. However I was having bad performance. I spoke with SRAM who said it was the Rotor crankset being designed for a 10 speed and not 11 speed. I spoke with my trusty mechanic at Landry's in Natick and he ...

Can you provide an example of where Cav ran his mouth at the Tour this year? Pretty sure he admitted to Quick Step & Bora being better than he at the Tour. And what debacle do you speak of? They are 1st & 2nd on GC and unlike 2012 there does not appear to be any dissension in the ranks.

If I recall his contract is up and he's had a miserable 12 months. Add to that his age and one does wonder if his best years are behind him. Lance on the The Move suggested that Cav flinched too much this year during the sprints. Quite possibly he was on the deck one too many times this season and was hesitant to have that happen again. ...

I just went through this with my S5. The crack that I thought was only in the clear coat was actually a crack in the top tube and most likely the cause behind the excessive extreme speed wobble going downhill I'd experience. I was given the option of a 2018 S5 or S3 and as I'd wanted an S3 way back when I got my S5, I went with the S3. ...

[quote user="Layback"][quote user="Denmae"]Yes we get it, Layback. You don’t like him. I’m pretty sure he’s accomplished a lot more in his life, than you have lol[/quote] I doubt that’s the true measure of a man and you know nothing about me. But good for him. He’s still a whiny little DB who’s legs aren’t talking as ...

JV interviewed by Lionel Birnie lets slip at end of podcast that last year was not the closest team came to folding. It was actually at end of 2011 & involves Cervélo and the Pon acquisition.

hahaha - well the race isn't over until Paris.
