    2014 Cycling DVDs?

    I typically watch DVDs of the one day classics and grand tours while training in the basement during a Canadian winter. However, World Cycling Productions are not selling DVDs of any 2014 races. A UK company is possibly selling a Giro DVD, but that's it. Other than bit torrents (which have...

    Commuter/Tourer Suggestions

    I'm consolidating my bike collection a little with the birth of my son. I want a bike that I can use for commuting (30km/day), riding my bike into the local hills with a baby trailer, and possibly some light to moderate touring. I am open to all recommendations, but I am thinking primarily...

    Bike Storage Question

    I recently moved and am looking for some bike storage options. I am favouring a ceiling mount system in the garage, such as the Saris Cycle Glide (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=npOzOIWTHAo&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnpOzOIWTHAo), but my garage ceiling is too high to easily use this system. I can...

    Pinarello ROKH Impressions?

    Does anyone ride a Pinarello ROKH? What kind of rides do you do on your ROKH? Can you give me your opinion on the pros and cons of the ROKH? I am thinking of selling my Cervelo S2 - while the bike is fast and enjoyable to ride, I am not racing anymore and the bike is not as comfortable for...

    State Sponsored Doping

    Headset Question

    As some of you may recall, I purchased a Colnago Master frame and fork recently. My local bike shop was going to build the bike while I was away recently, but they advised that the steerer tube was too short to be able to insert a headset. They tried a Campy Record headset with a stacking height...

    Colnago Master Frame

    I am upgrading my main road bike to Ultegra Di2 and will soon have a full DA gruppo and crank etc kicking around my garage. I have always been fascinated by Colnago bikes, and was thinking of buying a steel Colnago frame. I know some of the purists will be aghast at putting Shimano on to such...

    Wheels for Cobbled Sportifs?

    A friend and I are going to ride the Tour of Flanders and, if available, Paris-Roubaix sportifs in 2013. I know it is a long way away, but just wanted some recommendations on equipment. I have my Lynskey titanium road bike (main bike, comfortable, good on dirt and rougher roads) and my...

    Shorts or Bibs for Indoor Trainer?

    I've almost always used shorts while training indoors just because I thought the profuse sweating and more time in the saddle (relative to the constant shifting in and out of the saddle when riding outside) may cause excessive wear on my more prized bibs. Shorts also tend to be cheaper. What...
