    What to do

    Agree 1000. It is only a half argument that it is unchangeable. The whole argument is that it appears to be unchangeable. Like my ludicrous Moon analogy. And yet to move into any issue guantees change. So the diff between half and whole is to do something if one wants a different condition to...

    What to do

    Very well said. On the day to day level change for a PED free Pro Tour does appear daunting and impossible. And it may be. But in the face of so many historic issues of same apparent impossibilities Humans have pushed through to improve in many and various venues of our collective standards...

    Jaw changes in cyclists?

    Forget the phot's! If your Real serious you need to get calipers and do Real Real Research. Calipers- the only way to go.

    Half way through, what do you think of it so far.

    As a long long time fan of all things tubular and TdF et al I am finding this years adventure interesting. This years four ring Circus has much to offer. I liked that they had the guts to involve the cobbles, knowing they would get criticized for doing so. All smooth pave is neato for the kids...

    Armstrong gives Schleck free Livestrong bracelet?

    Just some subliminal Yellow magic pointed at that other dude...what's his name again? Doesn't matter. The braclett has 'da POWWA'....what's in those things anyway????:p

    What to do

    Realist- Yes I agree with you regards my weaving in @ 10 mins example. Was a hyped statement more for effect than particular accuracy. Indeed if all are on the same level the group comes in similar/same regardless. I do wonder about back to back 180-200km stages 3-5 days a week being doable...

    What to do

    To carry the desire for a clean peleton another step - what would pro tours look like if the capability is found to guarantee a clean peleton? First off it seems illogical that the distances covered per avg. day of the GT's could be maintained, unless audience is excited by wasted riders weaving...

    Lest We Forget

    Yeah I'm new here but not to cycling. I appreciated the post by TSF as a chance to learn more of a classic era rider. The intent is clearly as a tribute. Until Blunder ruins the atmosphere. Should not you open your own thread in the clinic for your need to discuss and sully this particular...

    For a want of a nail...

    This is a Classic. :rolleyes: Nice copy, but the style is too obvious don't you think? Could be good for a Toyota ad intro. Oh and since when is Lance spelled with a little letter? Is that a Bot error?

    Any Pads that work in Scott/Mathauser Shoe?

    Yes these have the stiffener ridges. I'll see if I can find early Dura ace-may be just as difficult. All the KoolStops etc I've looked at so far are radius. May just need to go modern after all :( , but holding out to keep this machine in its era. Appreciate the tip...GoodDay.

    Any Pads that work in Scott/Mathauser Shoe?

    Hello- I have a older Mountain Klein i bought in '91 and ordered with these shoe/pads. Now hard to find. I did see @ ebay recently but passed. Do any mechanics have a recommend of any pad that can be adapted into the Scott shoe decently? Shame to toss the very good shoe for lack of exact...

    Is Andy Schleck capable of beating Alberto Contador after such a strong showing

    I agree with what your saying here somewhat now. I don't have access to live stream coverage. I saw the pics of the finish after my post yesterday and AC does look a tad wasted. Good on Schleck if he has the spare fuel/physio in the high temps. He's got the thin lanky frame which is a good...
