I may be late to the party but apparently Alex Dowsetthas stated that Armstrong is a legend and that all this doping stuff is not important and doesn't really matter. Presumably Alex believes that since it was rampant it was a level playing field. Perhaps if Alex had been racing back in 1999 he...

I gave my bike a clean up since I'm due to do a 100 mile ride on Sunday. Commuting in the rain has caused a build up of crud and grease which has caused problems shifting and with the brakes so I gave it all a good clean and lube but I'm now struggling to get my front derailleur functioning...

Hey! How many of you home mechanics have a 3rd/4th hand-tool for pulling/tensioning gear cables? I'm currently f-ing and blinding while trying to get adequate tension on my front derrailleur (cuaght my knuckles on the chainring a few times too :(). Got a 100 mile ride this Sunday (fingers...

Just noticed that half the GreenEdge Team didn't finish :o

Will Sky go back for Cav and abandon Wiggins in the Tour ? Probably not but i thought I'd throw it out there ;)

Just read an article in the Sunday Times where they state that their litigation settlement with La may be reviewed at the conclusion of the federal investigation. Anyone got a list of the litigations undertaken by Lance? This could get expensive for him depending on the outcome of the feds...

Philip Gilbert was angry that Pozzato chased him. Why? Pozzato is not a team mate and as a previous winner he also felt that this was a race he could win. Why do some riders act surprised/upset when riders not on their team chase them?

This has probably been highlighted already but I wanted to note that this highlights how delays in administrating doping cases makes a farce of the race result. The person who originally finished 5th is now 3rd (until they get caught?), so this summer when watching the Grand Tours don't discard...

Hi, I've just changed my brake cable for the rear brakes. I have a spesh tricross sport with cantilever brakes. The rear brake feels very slack. I can pull the lever right back so it touches the bar. Is this due to stretch in the cable? How can I rectify this? (Bikeradar forums are...

Why do track bicycles not have bar-tape?
