    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Mighty words coming from a guy analyzing at length what Oleg Tinkov says. I'm not so sure which one of us is closer to the gutter.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Re: Re: I have to say I don't get your posts, for a guy who keeps trying to deflect from Sky and Froome by pointing fingers at anyone and everyone else in cycling, you do keep these discussions on top.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Tbh if the Clinic accepted the everyone dopes = level playing field argument, that [insert fav team/rider here] defenders like to bring every now and then, this would be a very lonely place. What gets to me with Sky is the greed, very similar to USPS, it seems to me english speaking folk have...

    Other cyclists ahhhhhhhhh

    Re: Re: Yes this a very specific situation and applies to encounters with strangers, where I'd expect a different behaviour. Then again I adapted to the situation and unless I was overtaking an obstacle I would mostly soft-pedal so that I could get the better of them on those sprints :) . When...

    Other cyclists ahhhhhhhhh

    Re: Re: If I catch-up with a group and I'm comfortable with their pace I try to help out and usually the helping hand is accepted. One of the things I find bothering is when a sportive group has that type of guys who have no problem wheelsucking but will get out and sprint on every strava...

    Should You Wear Team Kits?

    I don't care that much abt what others wear, if anything someone wearing full BMC or full Tinkoff kit can easily be described to someone else as the BMC/Tinkoff kit guy. The only time I would wear full team kit would be to tell my friends who I'm rooting for before a GT through a photo :)

    Canyon Bikes - what say ye?

    Better late than never :) I have 2 of them. Their M or 54 geometry fits me well and no particular issues with warranty. This being said I did buy them for price/performance rather than looks. Then again by the time I add my own wheels, saddle and other bits and bobs it does get a more familiar...

    Big Firm vs Boutique - Who do you prefer

    Whatever fits and then time will tell if what fits also lasts. I think the only thing I wouldn't wear is some teams full kit. Even my own clubs full kit I wear very half-heartedly. I have a 50% rule. If I wear a Mapei short sleeve it will always be with black bibs or if I ride after work in...

    Do/should you ask before sucking wheel?

    I'm not usually bothered to be honest. If I catch-up to people the likelihood of drafting is very small, most likely there's a clear difference between us/our targets for the day. I will draft behind people who attack/overtake me and freewheel at times for my own selfish fun, but it's never more...
