Another vote for the KICKR if you can stretch to one.

I believe he learnt from David Duffield, who as likeable as he was still struggled to speak coherently in English at times. For those unaware of this legendary commentator, there are some examples of his delightful turns of phrase here -...

Granted it's more than the equivalent second hand price from a private seller buy you'd think Greipel's bike would hold it's value or appreciate over time http://bikesy.co.uk/features/racing/want-a-truly-unique-bike-heres-how-you-can-buy-andre-greipels-and-adam-hansens-official-team-bikes/

Taking DIY building to a whole new level! http://bikesy.co.uk/features/just-for-fun/worlds-best-full-suspension-mtb-finally-sale/ And what's more, you can snap it up yourself if you're quick!!!

That's one way to encourage active crime prevention! Was at my local station unlocking my bike for the ride home and there were a couple of officers there offering to security mark my bike for free. This would normally cost £20 so this was a good result to start with. As the conversation went on...

Good write up on melodonium here: https://jakegshelley.wordpress.com/2016/03/03/what-is-melodoniummildronate/ Same as Vorgonov too.

Asking because Dan Bilzerian is going to try it. (yes the poker playing, instagramming, Dan Bilzerian) For $600K, with only 30 days to get fit. And even better, Lance has stepped forward to help him. Full Story So, when you first started riding, could you honestly have managed 330 miles in...

This is becoming a joke now. How can she say that it's her friends bike and expect people to believe that? EVERY SINGLE TIME WE GET A BS EXCUSE. When will someone just front it when they mess up? Its becoming like the Austin Powers Defense every single time

X-Files starts in the UK next week, I think this was one of the greats of the modern era.

Yeah I know its a bit of a resurrection but well there's no racing on so its time to hark back a bit! We've just got restored the original Duffield World pages in all their glory. If you loved David Duffield you'll love being reminded of his old style. If you don't, well, turn your granny to the...

With regards to the jolts, typically the spokes in a spoked wheel have a certain degree of flex in them that will dampen any (some) road vibration. On older style bikes this was even noticeable between high flange and low flange hubs where high flanged meant there was shorter and consequently...

I've got a Roberts cross bike that has been repaired by the builder after a crash crumpled the top tube / head tube so it can be done. Still rides fine on heavy duty off road, but I understand in today's throw away society you don't get to see those sort of fixes much these days.

Looking forward to this on road bikes after an age of super smooth hydraulics on MTBs (and after having rims blow out on hot summer days from stones in the brake blocks scoring through a lightweight road rim). At the moment here in the UK the choice is limited still for road brakes, 3 pages...

Yep they also have the advantage of thorough workshop checks and replacement bikes every season (or more if needed). In that position I'd go carbon as well, but personally I need a bike to last a whole lot longer without worrying if it's taken a gouge or bad chainsuck so steel remains my...

Train what you want to be good at... and that's probably in the saddle performance gains.
