- That's an odd way to describe chain wear. I think most people would just call that wear. We never generally call or equate friction wear between chain and sprocket to being filed?
- Just checked my cycling equipment record. Looks like my memory let me down on that info about the 180mm cranks. I did do a progression on length. I started on 170mm and rode that for some years. It never felt right for me and I moved on to 172.5. Better for a time and then eventually found my sweet spot was 175mm. I still ride that length to this day on the road and even on my electric bike.. The 180mm was out of my comfort zone and damaged me for a time. I sold those Mavic 180 mils on ebay to an American guy my record notes.
- Yeah, you know, probably would have helped if you’d have adapted slowly instead of expecting your body to assimilate the change from one day to the next. Moreover, I don’t believe in the one size fits all feeling hype tends to purvey.
- Funny but apart from team and jersey colours, I don’t think painting is prohibited. As for filing, thar would be hard to ban as that is exactly what chains and sprockets do to each other during cycling :-)
- I've been cycling for a long time. I can't remember exactly when 180mm cranks where touted as the way to go for getting up steep hills. I sourced the cheapest 180mm cranks I could find to give it a try. Within one ride I found that it was not in any way good for me, The increased arc of the pedals wrecked my muscles and tendons. It took weeks of going back to using my regular 170mm cranks for my muscles to recover.
- Altering approved equipment? What? We can't have that! The UCI police will be on the case shortly!
- Is that Dane really a "generational talent"?
- He makes the races more interesting even if results end up being more boring but obviously this is a plus for fans who like to watch.
- You underestimate the importance (unfortunate) of money in sport these days. Besides, it’s guaranteed warm sunny weather do now race cancellations, extreme conditions, dangerous roads, etc. it’s what a lot of riders look for to stay/get motivated at this point of the year/season, even if it’s just « training » for some.
- Actually a bit surprising how distinct the two disciplines stay.
