    Does anyone ride 42 teeth inner chainring on a regular basis any more?

    I've gone back to using a 42 teeth inner chainring on my road bikes. It works well for me with a 11 to 25 cassette as I mostly ride 42x15 and it runs really nicely with an almost straight chainline. I'm interested to know if anyone else uses a 42T chainring on a regular basis?

When did anyone last see Contador finish behind Tony Martin on a uphill finish? Well, that is what happened today. He has been...

    Like I said before, Griepel is very strong and good but he will not be able to beat Kittel in a one-on-one in 2016. Tour of Algarve stage 1 today showed that.

    Saddle to handlebar drop

    I was not trying to suggest anything about what a "good" or suitable drop is. I just wanted to see in general what kind of a drop we (mere mortals) use compared to some of the pros. If you can/want, please post your particular drop.
