    Wrapping New Bar Tape

    Always start from the bottom. After about three or four goes you'll start getting it perfect.

    Most disappointing riders this year

    Wow man, you may be trolling but that is heartless. A big slap in the face to those affected by the big losses we've already had in the peloton this year.

    Unsportmanlike Leopard Team

    I'm not the biggest fan of Andy, but it seems as if the whole RB team has taken their PR cues from him... LT are honing themselves for the tour and were setting the pace long before TGBM had a mechanical. Once he flatted it makes sense to keep it up so their own team mate has a chance at some...

    Mid level training/racing wheels for Campy

    I'm making the switch to 11sp record in the next few weeks and because of Shimano's incompatibility with their wheels, I'm going to have to get new ones. I'm looking at mid-tier ones I can use for training, but are good enough for racing when I don't want to pull out the zipps. I was...

    Mantova conspiracy

    Just putting this out there, but get a strong feeling that the Mantova investigation has serious funding from a certain American interest trying to move the doping limelight away from other matters.
