Why do some pro's do this to their pedals?

I thought it was to stop the famous keo squeak when giving it the beans.

eems excessive: babies get all they need from milk alone and studies

drinks.

Protein supplements are for bodybuilders, not cyclists.

I can get a three tins of pilchards, or two of tuna, from my pound
shop: no need for fish oil supplements either.

I'm down with this attitude. Fuck supplements.

Tacx Shiva. Podium valve craps out after a while.

Nz cricket. Playing opposition teams back into form, since forever.

I like the campag red pads much better than Reynolds blue on my Chinese crabons. A bit grabbier but much better stopping in the wet and dry.
Agreed swissstop yellows are shite.

send them back, seems to be a relatively common issue.
I wish Time would sort out their QC issues. French manufacturing must be able to make some quality products. Mustn't it?

Badass. Glws.

^ sorry what?
Cup and cone bearing last freaking ages if they haven't been massively neglected. And there's a reason why campag and shimano use them. They believe they're better.
Light rims and nice tyres get you more zip. I'd get a modern group if you aren't building a 'classic' ride though.

scanpan.
I've had one for ten years and used it almost daily, and it's pretty much as good as new.
They're not as non-stick as a brand new teflon pan, but they're much better than stainless and you can treat them badly, unlike cast iron.

I'm a pretty enthusiastic/sad regal-e buyer (i've got 5) and I've never seen the team edition in anything other than red. The concor was available in other colours, but never saw the regal-e.

Latex stretches more than butyl so it'll be fine. I've run both butyl and latex 23mm tubes in 33mm cross tyres with no issue.

This is boss. Mavic groups are sweet.

I've bought 'broken' campag shifters online before that needed nothing more than removing the hoods and cleaning the gunk out of the shifting mechanism with a bit of WD40.

whether that's the case here or not impossible to say but if you're reasonably handy they're not hard to disassemble and have a look what's going on.

I know from experience that that 35mm VO guards don't fit 28mm tyres.

but your hands would hit the wheel when you turn

You poor bastards. And any non-tory voters who voted against PR, you're mugs.

IMO inrng's quality is pretty top notch. His puns and turn of phrase are brilliant, and usually has insightful stuff to say. Can't say the odd typo affects my enjoyment of it.

I have a cheapish tange 109 in ISO. Sealed etc. Its just fine.
Got it direct from Japan though.

Guys, what lopro pedals do you use?
Lopro bar tape?
What's the best lopro headset grease?

Happy to be proved wrong re. Wireless groups, if they're just as reliable with no missed shifts or losing sync or anything, all good. The whole point of wireless is you don't need a physical connection, but there's always going to be a bike frame in between the parts.
Certainly in telecoms etc wired is always more reliable than wireless.
But yeah, I'm a Luddite.

Get a braze on mech and a 28.6 braze on adaptor.

Not ill. wireless groups are a solution looking for a problem.

I prefer to think of it more like rappers having 'beef'.
Hendo vs fabs r. U.
I'm not sure which one is west coast.

Haven't tried black prince but the campag red carbon blocks are significantly better than swisstop yellows, and come in shimano fit too.

If you're a noob like I was, and riding Michelins on a wooden track, not that slowly at all. I've still got ad paint on the side of my sidi.
