Electronic gearing is not worth the added cost, weight, and extra complications when it goes wrong
The people who comment on how electronic shifting is pointless dont have an electronic groupset and they secretly want one.
(This was me before I got Di2)
Phil Ligget and Bob Roll are the best cycling commentator duo.
Blocked and reported.
Eddy Merckx would be pack fodder in todays peloton
As someone who has a bike with etap (and previously di2), electronic shifting ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Sure it’s nice, but I don’t know if I’ll ever buy another bike with it.
matte paint for bikes is a terrible idea/trend.
plain gloss black paint makes every bike look worse.
specialized has a knack for simultaneously picking the some of the absolute ugliest and absolutely prettiest paintjobs for their bikes.
these color schemes are very unattractive -
Bikes with dropped seat stays are super ugly.
Bike racing is boring. I stole that from Coppi.
Cav’s TdF stage win record will be harder to match than mercyx’s,
Seems to me that both rider’s records will be equally hard to beat at this point.
Mountain bikes shouldn’t be allowed in gravel races.
Ultra endurance is something you race when you want to win but do not have it to win real races.
Whoever sleeps less wins.
Watching road racing is 98% like watching paint dry. Viewers are lucky to get a few moments each day of something exciting. Most is just fine for background noise.
I’d call them not ill, rather than healthy
Road bikes and their riders are about as aero as milk floats.
AI FTP means no ramp tests and TR makes you faster. XCM program doesn’t target MTB racing and found FTP detection very inaccurate (sorry TR) I regained my ‘fitness’ way faster than the 28 day detection. First 28 days I gained 5 watts, did two more weeks, got frustrated, went back to my usual app and gained another 20 watts in 6 weeks - back to where I was after a break and trying TR for motivation.
Ebikes are a legitimate sport. But not part of the nonmotorized bicycling sport.
I think I would argue that this is a popular opinion!
