At our transfer station (used to be the town dump, but now everything is recycling) I saw an old and fugly bike. Nasty dirty with grime. Plastic handgrips bubbled and melted into something so repulsive I did not want to touch them. Then I noticed the hubs. They had oil-hole steel spring clips...

Wow - searched the forum and did not find a thread for Bouhanni. I have to wonder if there is a thread - but his name is misspelled. Idk. But with today's news - he now deserves it. www.cyclingnews.com/news/fdj-sidelines-bouhanni-in-response-to-french-interview This guy has gone, in my...

Don't ask me what it is all about. ammattipyoraily requested a retweet on this link: http://veloclinic.com/cyclists-needed-performance-modelling-study/

I had a gent yesterday ask if I was considering selling my old bicycles. Of course, the answer was no - but it started a conversation. Turns out the guy wanted to ship a bike to his nephew in Africa. I'm thinking, my god, the shipping cost would probably be huge! I'm not sure it would be...

Surprised there isn't already a convo on this one: Agostini gives up on cycling in letter over doping suspension So, what's the dope, ooops, I mean scoop, on this one? Innocent as claimed? Or just trying to push the envelope? Clobetasol (propionate)- one of the two primary ingredients -...

I may not have time to post this later, and I'm impatient. SO, without further ado, the short list in the "Dream Team" Mod Poll. After the list - I will tell you why I did this. Dr. Maserati Gooner Granville57 Hrotha Libertine Seguros Mewmewmew13 Nowhereman (as mod of BoB) RedheadDane...

This is it. The final poll section of the GREAT DREAM MOD POLL. Remember, the point is not "who is the best poster". Nor is it "who is the most respected poster". The point is to choose whom you think would be the best MOD!!!

See the first poll for all the dirty details! This is poll #2!!

Ok - based on the fictional thread of a similar theme - who would make a great mod? This does not mean they would agree to BE a mod. It DOES mean you are serious and believe they would be a GOOD mod. Keep in mind the very valid point brought up in the "name this mod" thread - a respected...

Ok - I've left the mod squad. Been gone a while now. But I have a question. And, this thread is to get your response. Once I've got a bunch of responses, I'm going to put up a poll. Keep in mind - this is totally meaningless and unofficial. I have no official standing. None. Remember that...

GrindTV has given me another fun and quick glimpse into lots of great air, here: http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/excursions/post/riders-fly-among-the-trees-at-berm-in-the-middle-jam/ They even put in a couple outtakes at the end - with one attaboy lost at the very end. Enjoy!

Headline CyclingNews:" Dutch Anti-Doping Commission says up to 95 percent of riders doped in EPO-era . . . difficult to give percentages but a range of 80, 90 and perhaps 95 percent is in our eyes the truth." Seems to be considered a good appraisal of "what was" Marcel Wintels, chairman...

Rory Sutherland is reporting a lower avg HR and max HR going into the 3rd week of the Giro. . . . for the data junkies, the difference between the first and the second week (for someone like me) is about a 15-20-percent drop in average and maximum daily heart rates. . . I am surprised. I...

I don't see this posted - and I thought it was a nice little clip about keirin. I also didn't see a kierin thread - if it exists, I'll merge the threads...

JIC you haven't heard, Velocast has gone pro this year, with Eurosport sponsoring. I'm posting in the clinic because John and Scott are outspoken when they think there are issues. I thought the podcast was brilliant before, but with the new backing, they've gone supernova brilliant...

The industry has changed a lot since I last bought chains. I used to buy Sedis chains to replace all other chains on my Shimano and Suntour systems. Now Sedis is not even on the market. And, I now have a 9-speed steed in my stable. So, I have a couple good Shimano HG chains in my stock. And...

This photo (I'm linking to respect the copyright and all that) captures that stomach-in-the-throat tension of REALLY going downhill, better than any photo I've ever seen, I think. Slopes are always such a hard thing to show in a pic...

There was another thread about crankarm length - but it got hijacked so that it ONLY discussed extremely short crankarms and Powercranks. It earned this comment: So, I am starting this thread. This thread is for a general discussion of crankarm length. A few posts here and there mentioning...

There was a thread with similar title - but it became a thread about one particular argument about pedaling technique. So, now that topic (uncoupled cranks, specifically Powercranks), has its own thread, so the people who want to discuss that narrow topic can do so - and there are people who...

A new show on BBC 5 Live, the first episode, from the 18th of January. A bit of a talk with Bassons and Jeremy Wittle from the Times. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0140yj4 The perpetual cynics will like this one. It is a good dialogue. @ 0:20 " . . .there is no reason because the same...
