I'm an absolute dunce when it comes to things like this, so please help me out. I'd like to put an old Dura Ace 7800 crank on a bike with BB86. Will that work? Would putting an adapter make it work? Just want to make sure before I go through all of the work to find out it was incompatible...

I don't have the energy in the morning to get in a simple 15-20 mile ride before I have to get to work. I try to sleep early (10-11PM) and wake up around 5:45AM for a ride. However...I just find my legs to feel weak and feel a general lack of energy. Today I literally got up, put on my...

Thanks! that sounds like a great alternative. I'm not climbing up the steepest mountains, but after putting in tons of miles I always find myself pointlessly clicking away furiously hoping that I haven't gone through the whole sprocket.

great! thank you for the answer.

Hello all, Just wanted to see if this exists: 36t 130mm I've done some searching and have not found anything. Before I give up, I just want to see if anybody else has answers. Thanks!

I finally splurged on some Oakley Radar Paths after years of buying cheaper sunglasses. I cannot emphasize how great of a purchase these were - they don't slide off when your head is down, are lightweight (forget you have them on after a while), and are stylish. Also, the lens quality is top...

while we're on the topic of Prius', I'd like to point out that no car scares the S*** out of me more than this car. the true ninja equivalent of the automotive world, you never notice them until they are RIGHT behind you. by the time you yell "car back" they are already whipping past you. I...

I heard something about the Vacansoleil not liking their Batavus bikes last year. Apparently some of them bought other bikes and had them repainted.

Didn't Astana change to Specialized after he started a contract in 2010? Since he's such a star racer, I think teams will change equipment to fit his sponsor needs.

I was watching the "great" 30 minute/day coverage of the TDU this morning and realized that Saxobank-Sungard had switched to Specialized helmets. Doesn't Contador have a contract with Giro that obligates him and his team to wear Giro? Is this a sign that he is officially out? :confused:

Awesome - thanks for the answers!

I've not kept a great account of this, but it seems like for the multi-day track races (like a madison), the racers have to tuck their shirts into their shorts. Why not wear bib shorts? Skin suits? Is this just a traditional thing?

hey thanks for the thoughtful write up! I just did a bit more research, and it does look like the "Path" is geared towards cycling. However, I just found out that the "Path XL" has 7mm more up top to give you more coverage when you're down in the drops. Anybody have any experience with that?

I'm looking into buying a pair of Oakley Radars, but am confused about the different lens shapes. Can any of you provide any insight into what lens shape I should get? What shape is "best" for cycling? - Path - Pitch - Range - Path XL Thanks in advance!

I have a Cervelo R3 and I love it. Nothing feels more responsive and smoother. To compare I have ridden a Cannondale SuperSix 13 (Saeco Model) and Colnago Master Light. I can ride on it all day and can feel every ounce of power go straight to the wheels.
