    Ouch

    That's promising. I was a little worried as I am lusting after some power meter pedals (more likely going Powertap P1s) but it's not going to happen anytime soon. I know many carbon wheel manufacturer offer half price crash replacement. Also it sounds like a design flaw that one crash would...

    Ouch

    I understand how this might scare you off, but just another plug for tubeless once you get back up and running with confidence. I just had a puncture that I could hear in my rear wheel that didn't seal most likely because I lost most of my sealant when I redid the wheel; however it did slow and...

    Ventisit pad and clothing (Lycra) wear

    I have noticed my cycling clothing is wearing as I slide in and out of the V to start and stop, more so when I commute and have to stop more in traffic / evil red lights. It is most noticable in my shorts I use cheap non padded Lycra shorts (one has worn through which then ripped to large holes...

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Getting Off the Fence

    You don't need to carry sealant if you refresh your sealant as suggested. I carried sealant because I wouldn't do this. Now I have the airshot I will happily refresh as needed. Yes a tube can be used but it is unlikely you will need it (unless you don't carry one, then you are sure to need it :p)

    FCN calculator for Cruzbikes (Silly Commuter Racing - ItsNotARace.org)

    I did ride the Tour Down Under stage 2 today in the wrong direction unfortunately on my way to work. I did consider trying to devise a plan to "pass" 187 pro riders with my work bag strapped on :D

    Getting Off the Fence

    Sounds like a good reason to go tubeless to me. But in all honesty I never have had a blow out and I ran tubes for some time before I saw the tubeless light. And I have never slid out the rear end (something I used to do every winter on my DF, apparently wet roads are slippery). I feel the V has...

    Where does the motivation go when commuting

    Does anybody else get frustrated when somebody turns off your route before you can pass them :p

    Where does the motivation go when commuting

    So how do we calculate FCN or do we automatically get a FCN of 1. I do not have shaved legs I do take panniers (that I hack together for the V). Does the V count as aerobars? Also should I count the Giro Air Attack? I don't have a power meter ... yet.

    Where does the motivation go when commuting

    With 8 month old twins coffee is my life. I have 2 before I get on the bike then another one when I get to work, one in my morning break, lunch arvo break and finally one to power the ride home. Concentrated cold brew I make myself. Hoping to get a iKeg to infuse it with nitrogen soon to make it...

    Where does the motivation go when commuting

    When I was younger and didn't have a family or any responsibility I commuted 30km each way everyday then road 120km+ on the weekend. This is why I feel disappointed at my current performance, but times change and that's OK

    Where does the motivation go when commuting

    I have just started commuting to work which is great as it gives me much more time on the bike than it did before however I find my motivation to ride hard wanes and is highly variable. This is understandable as I am going from riding 40-80km every 1 to 2 weeks to 2x 20km per day. Also the rides...

    sealing Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless

    So I had been toying around with the idea of making my own pressure vessel from a discarded fire extinguisher as per a guide online or a soda stream canister that I have but it was my birthday after Christmas I thought why not get the Airshot. First impressions are very good. I had mixed...
