"Who...?" "RONNIE PICKERING!!!!"
I am merely questioning whether riding in a group, whether competetive or training (one might even suggest social) might influence your road...
The difference is particularly noticeable if you have to carry the bike upstairs after a long ride.
That's just for disc brakes though. Stops them squeaking
Is this to do with the country? I would have thought most people walk a bike from its left hand side to avoid the (in my case, mucky) drivetrain.
The ultra-slow-motion, close-up replay of Tadej’s front wheel tire puncture and low-speed crash may be the beginning of the end for hookless wheels...
For small riders, I believe 28 wheels would be faster than 26, otherwise we would see them on pro racers, especially when 26 exist on such cheap...
I'd anticipate that the busier junctions aren't that appropriate for cycling through red lights, but I do encounter plenty of less busy junctions...
A bit tangential but I love this one...
