I have tried a lot of different tyres out over the last couple of years. Where I live we have a lot of different types of track, from really loose pea gravel (which is like riding on marbles) boggy...
You should see if you can go on a 12 month international teaching exchange.
Everyone has a "sweet leg", which is the leg that they prefer to be in front when coasting along without pedalling. I think it is easier to turn corners in the direction of that sweet leg.
I...
Try tacx tao cages. I have these on my xs specialized allez and can fit a 21oz bottle on my down tube and a 24oz bottle on my seat tube.
I think the problem with a lot of gels is that they are just too thick and pastey and you have to roll it around in your mouth for a bit to get the right consistency to swallow.
I really think an...
Nice pics ladies!
I will try and put one of myself. Hmmm...not very big.
I ride with my stem flipped on both my road and mountain bikes. It helps to shift my centre of mass forward on the bike taking some of the load off my legs while pedalling. It does take a little time...
Bikes are no different to cars, they have a make and a model, and there can be multiple different types of the same model which are distinguished by a second model name.
In regards to the...
I will second the oury grips. They are awesome and come in red, blue, white, grey, purple, biege, pink, orange, green, yellow and black.
Hi Cari. I'm exactly the same height as you and know how frustrating it can be to find a bike as it seems we are between sizes for a lot of brands. The ideal bike size for our height is 15.5", but...
There are a number of bike set-up factors that may result in the pain you are experiencing, including incorrect seat height, seat position, cleat position and reach distance.
I would have a look...
Love the bike Salsa! You have pimped it nicely and it must be quite light with the components you are running.
And Jennifer show us the DEAN! What length cranks are you running?
There are some cool bikes here. SalsaMTB I would love to see a picture of your bike!
This year I am riding an 06 Specialized S-works hardtail and it is a very smooth fast ride.
Like anything if you beat the crap out of it it will break. I use a cateye too and after several crashes it is still going strong after 3 years.
There are a couple of different ways to ride over logs, but it all comes down to its size. For small logs (say ankle height) I find it easiest to pop the front wheel over and let the rear wheel roll...
Have you looked at the Crumpler messenger bags? They are excellent.

You will find that the biggest weakness in most people's descending skills on the road is related to lack of bike handling skills. I have seen so many people fall off descending on the road when...
I might be able to shed a little light on this matter. As we all know most bikes are made in Taiwan and China. You would think that because bikes are manufactured and partially assembled in the same...
Depending on the type of offroad riding you do you might want to consider a semi-slick tyre. These tyres generally do not have a lot of tread in the middle but do have knobblies on the outer edges to...
Ultegra is a little lighter, a little smoother and holds tune for a little longer, but I don't know whether it is necessary to achieve that by upgrading to full ultegra. Perhaps you might consider...
What grips do you have on your bike? I used to get pain running through my hands, and found by swapping the grips to chunkier ones it helped.
Just Do It
- from Nike I guess
I always scream this in my head when my legs just want to pop!
Sounds like dehydration and heat exhaustion to me. We get temperatures over 85 for about 3 months of the year, and honestly the best thing to do is avoid training during the hot part of the day....
Easiest thing to do is to take a look at the pad. Flip the bike over and remove the wheel, and then should be able to visibly see how much pad you have left.
Just because the brake squeals does...
