    "Resistance is Futile"

    I think I will take a leaf out of your book and put silicon caulk sealant around the headrest support and then it has nowhere to collect. Then if need be, I can be happy going out in the rain.

    "Resistance is Futile"

    Well the bike looks like a dead cockroach. At least it's clean. The funny thing is when it's on its back fluid seemed to seap from the main seat support tube. The funny thing is it hasn't been raining. Yeoooooo. Amazing how you sweat and don't know about it. Anyways. It's ready to go to the LBS...

    "Resistance is Futile"

    Just loved that saying from the Borg. Very classic and it's true with cycling? Why not change into something a little different? Why not buy that super duper Cruzbike seat that will save you a pound in weight; the one piece seat would be stiffer than the standard two piece seat as it's pure...

    Well, that was embarassing...

    It's embarrassing to admit it. I have a ceramic BB that I haven't fitted because I thought perhaps I might upgrade to a V20 and if I did I probably change cranks to SRAM. Now after reading that, I will definitely have to fit it.:rolleyes: Guess you would call it resistance training.

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    The seat I have is a two piece carbon. Is the new seat really a pound lighter than the two piecer and is it a different shape? I have been thinking of upgrading my seat to a Thor as I know some that have done it say it's improved their performance by 50% however, Greg's moving premises at the...

    Thor seat stopped production!! Help

    I did have my eye on the ADEM head rest. My current configuration works quite well. Need to feel what it's like with a Thor seat. I want ... I want... Too many other things... Out with the old and in with the new. Want to switch to hydro brakes with Di2 so ADEM head rest is out of my attention...

    Thor seat stopped production!! Help

    Don't worry Matej, He will restart production in 4 months time... I am in Greg's queue. He said he is moving, and production will commence in six months time. This was like two months ago. On a lighter note... I will be visiting Prague with the family next week. Excellent. Always love Czech...

    High Speed Turns

    I did that this morning too... There had been roadworks there during the week and there was all kinds of dirt , dust and gravel. I thought best not lean into this turn so I took it wide and long.

    2016 Mid-Atl Century reports and videos

    Larry, I bet you did that race without mirrors too? What type of arm mirrors do you use? I have watched the front camera film four times and the rear twice so I prefer the front first but I was very impressed to see the rhythm of Jim's legs when drafting. It looks very efficient.

    2016 Mid-Atl Century reports and videos

    Hey Larry... That was incredible. Taking those turns at the end... What a finish! Those two riders thought they had it in the bag.... That was so so close. Given another 50 yards you would have pipped Jesse. That was a totally amazing.

    Skinsuits

    Naaaaaa ... Don't believe it. It's a perception thing. You think you're going to look like a pokermon monster ? Or are you going to stand in the shoes and say I am going to win this. Quite compelling argument. If your serious about winning, you would try everything, right?

    New and Improved Headrest Clamp

    If Jason carries on as being Jason, I think I will frame mine and put it on the wall.

    Skinsuits

    Has anyone been a daredevil? They are supposed to save milliseconds which probably add up in a century ride. It seems like some of us want the ultimate (finger on the nose). I know the TT DF tribe spends millions in order to be number 1 ... Like the Brits with Team Sky... They have had a great...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Lately on bridges, I haven't needed to change down to the smaller chain wheel , I just accelerate before hitting the slope, hit down a couple of gears with the deurallier and plough over the crest with a bit of a zig zag; just using abdominals without pulling on the bars. After a recent scare...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    I had a great ride today. Probably not as far as some but I enjoyed it. Downhill, the vendetta is unbeatable unless you have velomobile behind you. I was tracking and hunting down a fast DF rider but he managed to get the better of me on a slight ascent. Could only be perhaps 2 to 3 gradient but...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Make a police report... That idiot probably got a kick out of it and will want to do it again.

    Getting Off the Fence

    If u have the money di2. It comes in many flavours so perhaps it's cheaper just to get the Shimano Ultra Di2 upgrade I have the manual version and the lever when shifting sometimes catches your finger... Really irritating ... Like it happened to me today. That wouldn't happen with Di2. With the...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    Ok.... Just got frustrated. Lost just one kilo in two weeks. Crapo. Change my diet just a little. Out goes the salted sunflowers and pistachios and in come the Brazil nuts. :cool: Too much salt gives water retention And Brazil nuts might make my hair grow
