I live and ride in north San Diego county, home of the dumbest drivers on Earth :p. Too many old people, tourists, and soccer moms, and none of them seem to know how to handle a four-way stop intersection. If I'm still rolling approaching an intersection and get waved through I just punch it...

This was a fairly common problem with FSA carbon cranks several years ago that they have since corrected. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it, and if you keep riding it the pedal will separate from the crank arm. You should stop using it immediately (if you haven't already) and talk to your...

I beg to differ, evidence below that white socks and black shoes are as classically stylish as cycling wear can get. As far as Lance is concerned, anyone who would take fashion tips from a dork who (ever) dressed like this... :rolleyes:

Your best bet would be to keep checking Ebay, they come up relatively often. That's the US Ebay site, by the way, as I doubt you would find much on any of the European or Asian Ebay sites (maybe Germany).

Floyd said essentially the same thing about his test. positive, and that was from a somewhat more reputable lab. Maybe there is something to his claim that the lab screwed up? Not that he was clean, but still, they could have at least busted him for one of the techniques he was actually using :p.

Another thing that I've found helps to prevent "incidents" with cars is to let drivers know in no uncertain terms what you plan to do. If you need to move over to the left to avoid something in the road (parked car, pot hole, glass) point with your whole left arm to where you plan to move to...

"Raising awareness" equates to selling more Livestrong branded crap that Lance gets a 42.5% of a cut of the profits from. Gotta pay for all that jet fuel somehow.

That's the first time I've seen Kimmage speak, and I like him even better now. He reminds me of LeMond in that he doesn't pull any punches and isn't afraid to go on record when he's mad. Incidentally, I'm just finishing up "Lance to Landis" for the first time, and David Walsh has impressed me...

For me it's a coin toss between Hinault and Coppi, but I voted for the Badger because of his attitude. That and having the second best nickname in cycling ("The Cannibal" being the best of course ;)). Having said that, I got my company name (Greyhound Velo) from Coppi. Seeing him on the bike...

Echoing what others have said, I'm on year 4 of my Red shifters and derailleurs and haven't had a problem with them yet. Also, in 2009 I wrenched for a pro team that used Sram gear, a mix of Red and Force on race bikes and Rival on training bikes, and it all held up fine over the course of the...

To back up Sasquatch (who I don't know and have never met), I was on the "Fly V p/b Successful Living" staff in the first half of the 2009 season. Lets just say that things didn't exactly appear to be on the straight and level even then due to management "issues", which resulted in serious...

I like the UBI one. It's simple to use, has never given me inaccurate spoke lengths, and if you aren't sure of some/any of the measurements that you need to enter into the calculator, just click the question mark on a given line and it tells you how to take the measurements with easy to follow...

It really depends on the bike. I've seen 20 year old Klein mountain bikes in good condition sell for north of three grand only because they have three-color fades or a bunch of Grafton components, while I couldn't get $200 for the custom Davidson (a much nicer bike) that I just sold. Here's a...

Obviously you'll need a 10 speed chain and cassette, since 10 speed STI levers are not compatible with 7/8/9 speed systems, but the old rear derailleur will work with any number of cogs, adjusted correctly of course. The front derailleur will work ok, but it may be slow shifting into the big...

Voted, and best of luck to you guys. There's no such thing as too many velodromes!
