Imo sweetened granola bars are a good combo of slightly slower digesting starchy carbs to keep you fueled in an hour and fast acting sugar to get you peppy now. I don't like to go pure sugar because i bonk when it wears off

I rode a 60km round trip yesterday on my heavier beater bike (total system weight at least 238lbs including 1.8kg water) over about 3.5 hours with a few stops to rest and stretch. I was in a fasted state for around 15 hours at the starting point of the ride. I brought nothing but 1.8L of water. Bonked a bit during the last quarter of the trip, pushed through it, but other than that there were no real issues. My point is you don't need much unless you're spending all day on the bike and your BMI is less than 22 (less fat and glycogen reserves for energy), or your racing and every watt and millisecond count. Just get out there, stay hydrated, and enjoy the ride.

It's still normal looking. Just with some carbon parts mixed in. Derailers having some black plates was an 80s thing though. It looks nothing like the crazy space age shit we have now.

Indurain's TDF win, the last win on a steel bike, was in 1995. That was on a modern campag group, with ergos. The 8spd ergos were a bit different but the new shape levers, the same as on that colnago, came in in 1997. That's basically 25 years ago, which is broadly when things become 'classic'.

>No self-respecting pro OR mechanic would put those shit tires and dumbass in-line brake levers on a bike. Sorry, I'm a little sour.

Interrupter levers are more relevant for racing than anyone else. Voekler used to use them (pic rel at Paris-Roubaix where he placed 4th). It's for when you're riding rough ground and the tops are good for planing and taking shocks, but you have to ride close and might have to brake.

the white tires are ugly/dumb, yes, but anyone is prone to go overboard on matchy crap.

I meant like showing a shop guy or something. Not-tubeless might just be a plastic strip that can be slid around or a piece of cloth tape just wide enough to cover the holes. Tubeless will be plastic or thicker tape and stretch from bead to bead.

Merida owns 49% of Spesh, Mike Sinyard owns the rest.
>>1720469
The headset has a steel compression ring that also serves as a guide for the cables, as the SL7 has an integrated cockpit. A severe impact could cause the compression ring to crack the carbon steerer. It's an enormously stupid design mistake because why the fuck would you put a steel ring with sharp edges around a carbon tube ever, but particularly on a part that bears massive loads and can easily maim or kill someone on failure? It should never have passed design review, but "engineering" in the bicycle industry is rock bottom shit.

The solution is to put a metal sleeve inside of the compression ring so that the steerer tube is protected, which is becoming common practice with carbon steerers. Of course using carbon for the steerer tube is retarded in its own right but marketing wants lower weights so here we are.

DA came out and said the police fucked up in a multitude of ways. Also insinuated its because the family was connected and had pull in their small ass town. Also said its rare for their office to sabotage their own case, but felt it necessary since family's lawyer in public statement used lack of arrest as proof of innocence. Town police has a reputation for ignoring harassments complaints by cyclists.

In America cyclist are pretty much expected to settle these things in civil court instead of expecting any sort of criminal prosecution.
