When people have such huge problems with someone who is an Atheist I think this is extremly an immature act. As an Atheist, I know that I am not narrow-minded. In fact I value truth over comfort. I am happy to accept some unpleasent results such as there is no after life, no heaven and when I do...

Very good post!!! I would like to see a stage starting in Salzburg, heading to Hallein, climb Roßfeldstaße, ride along the valley to Hintersee, head south, there is a small road through the nationalpark (Hirschbichstraße). Saalfelden and up the Großglockner to finish. If it is not long enough...

I have been thinking of fitting my droper post from my mtb to my road bike. Lowers the center of gravity and helps with the "Tuck Postion".

Magoo34 I should write Grammer Police. You are correct that My eNglish is crap! When I was a kid I would skip on eNglish class and go for a ride. fu My problem with your posting of this subject is that you are using a name of someone who you know nothing about, and writing that he must be...

I know some of these guys, more of the guys that have now retired. Most of the stuff they are interested in is anything that heals them faster. Or hides the pain from the injuries they have. The injuries that these guys have during a career is amazing. Chad Reed would have to be the toughest guy...

By saying that the R&D for Carbon frames why the frames are so pricey is a crap out. Look at the price of a top of the line down hill carbon bike and compare that price to a new KTM SX-F450. I will let you quess which one has more money spent on R&D.

If it was 18 degrees here I would go for a ride with shorts on..... Oh you are from that country that still uses the Imperial system!! :eek:

The last WC DH race!! Smith WINS!!!

ABS will not come for a long long time because of the weight. The new ABS system on the KTM Adventure weight is about 2.5 kg. ABS system only, not including brakes. It also works extremely well!! This is new technology. Disc brakes on a bicycle is nothing new. And no, more power is not needed...

1. ??? Ok,, So you think I should have my inside foot at BDC when cornering. MMMMMMmmmmm,,,, NO!!!! 2. I still have to be able to see where I am going!! Why do I need to open my hip angle? I do not ride TT bikes in a straight line. 3. Using a 56 frame I use a 120 stem, with a 58 I have to...

Why would the brake rotors be hot or even warm when there is a pile up crash? You have to brake a lot riding down a mountain to get the temperatures you are talking about to cause skin burn. There are never pile up crashes after a long mountain decent. Next thing will be is that teeth are...

It is not all about power. I like to ride or race my bikes around corners too. I use 175 cranks for many reasons. On my road bike it helps me fit into not ontop of my bike. When I corner the outside foot is at BDC, this helps lower my centre of gravity. I have a lower seat height and this in...

a clown bike,, maybe one very long crank and one very short crank....

After backing out of the shop without out a new bike I went on a massive on-line shopping blitz. Built it and last night I went for the first ride and yes I installed the brakes the right way(right lever front brake). I have read all the replys here to my original post and also had a good...

I went to a local bike shop to buy a complete new road bike. This is a first for me as I always have had secondhand road bikes. The bike I wanted was about €2300. I see that the brakes are the wrong way around. (I am from Australia) So I asked if they can switch the brakes so that the front...
