NorCal Crits?

Hi. I race out of North Carolina, and am Cat 2. I want to spend the next month in the Bay. That would mean I would miss the Gears and Guitars in Winston Salem (as well as the weekly Tuesday night...

Norcal Races?

I'm from North Carolina, where we have the Gears and Guitars race in Winston Salem. I'm stoked about it, but I might miss it to be in the Bay instead. Can anyone point me to similar race weekends...

Race Scene Boston

Hello. I posted in the 33 forum about Pasadena vs Oakland vs Boston for cycling. Got a ton of useful info, but not much about Boston. I was wondering what you all make of the road racing scene there...

Pasadena vs Oakland vs Boston

Hi all! I am super excited to be going off to grad school for the next long number of years. A very important thing to me is road racing (and of course being able to train), and I was really hoping...

I stressed it unnecessarily, without doubt. I have never used a carbon seat post, and was using a low torque, so I was twisting it to make sure it would not budge. Clearly I spend too much time in...

Tapping it back in place is not sufficiently secure. It is free to rotate (but not move vertically). So I think I need to remove it, but I am struggling to do so without excessive force. I messaged...

Good idea. Attached here. It is difficult to pull out further than this, and I do not want to break something by tugging too hard. I might try to cool the shim with ice and then try to pull it out (I...

I bought a 2006 Felt F1C (new old stock) carbon frame. After building it up, I knocked a metal shim within the seat tube loose. The seatpost clamp only connect to the shim, which is to say...

Pre-2005 Cannondales

Hi all,
This might overlap with the Appraisals forum. I found a ~2003 R400 with full 105 for $250 (but it's rocking Alexrims DA28, unfortunately). I work at a bike shop, so replacing parts/wheels is...

Lol


My inspiration is maybe Magnus Backstedt, but he has over 5 inches on me. Maybe benching 225 isn't going to help me much in the cycling world.

I really appreciate the advice!!
