    Hi

    The reason Presta valves dominate in cycling now is because they offer several advantages over Schrader valves. Presta valves are actually more durable (Schrader valves have some plastic...

    Don't be mislead by the 27.5 label. A 27.5 is not halfway between a 26" and a 29". It's actually much closer to a 26". even though I am tall enough for a 29 and ride some 29 bikes, I love the 27.5...

    As N.Y. says, don't lock :) yourself into what other are doing. Lots of good choices on pedals, these days. Nothing automatic about having to choose clipless.

    If I had to pick a sport to watch while on the trainer, I think it would be something faster-paced. Basketball would get me in better shape. :)

    Yeah, my indoor trainer is something I love to hate, but it sure does have a place in my biking. My Cycleops allowed me to stay in condition while recovering from my accident, last summer. Only...

    I'll bet that Di2 would spoil me, too. Almost afraid to even try that setup, but since I'm all flat bar, now, probably never will.

    Crankin, no, the disc brakes have nothing to do with how the bike shifts. MTB trigger shifters/derailleur combos vary tremendously on how they easily and fast they shift. Be sure to position and...

    Half inch of snow, overnight. Not enough to make the trails slippery, but rode the Norco fat bike just to be safe. The big 4.8" wheels did a nice job of re-packing the fresh snow for me and the Norco...

    Hope it works out for you, Crankin. Our weather continues to be cold, but at least we've had a little sunshine. That does help my mood, at least.
