I am interested to try 28s on my Storck, but it looks like I'm limited by the vertical clearance in the rear brake. Based on measurements posted on BRR, the 28mm Conti GP5000 S TR is 1.5mm taller than my current 25mm GP5000TL. I'm not sure it will work, and the cost of those tires is too much to just experiment.
I do wonder whether the Litespeed would handle 28s but I have no issues with lack of comfort on it - not cushy, but not a jackhammer either. The Canyon, with lots of carbon seatpost exposed plus a 2020 CF frame and 28s is my cushiest ride. Also my fastest. But I still find myself reaching for the Litespeed.

Well, at least you know what you want if you have another custom frame built - clearance! Mind you, if I had to get a custom, and I had the foldy/spendy, I'd pay a visit to Marostica and get something from Officina Battaglin. But they'd probably talk me into 12speed Campy.....

This is probably a dumb question and I suspect the answer is "it depends on your frame flex and wheel flex and other factors so you just have to try it and see" but let me ask:
I have about 3mm clearance (each side) at my chain stay for my rear tire running 25mm. I am considering trying same brand tire/rim at 28mm which I believe would give me something like 1.5mm clearance.
Without actually trying it, any sense on whether this is likely to rub?? Reminder the frame is Ti so I do NOT expect much flex there despite my massive guads.

Well, the fans were getting antsy after the Game 2 loss, but now theres just anger at the entire Celtics organization.
Im not a basketball fan, per se, but you have to be in tune with all sports if you live here and this is worst than the Bruins first round dud last month.

Most people think I'm behind the times for running 23s on my road bikes, but I prefer to think I'm on the cutting edge of the inevitable moment in time when 21-23 is preferred again, approx 2034, if we still have roads by then

Yep. Standing on the edge near that propane tank you can look down and see May Canyon road. I live near the bottom of that road, 5th house from the edge of the park.
Our club used to do a road ride up May Canyon but the little bit of dirt freaks some people out.
Which way did you go up?

Return to Work form filled out by cardiologist. Going to submit it tomorrow.
Target date is 6/1, but that will likely get pushed because one of our parent companies has to approve it.

The Celtics have such a history and they looked pretty good up until the losses against Philly but they were able to rally. The Heat series is a different matter, obviously.
We have a similar situation here with the Lakers, except the Lakers stunk all season and only started playing well at the end and had to play their way into the playoffs. Plus, they had massive changes during the season and most of us didn't think they would get past Golden State. I don't think they have an answer for Denver.
Despite going deeper into the playoffs than expected, there are already trade and coaching change rumors.

And theres a lot of talk about how Miami managed their players through the regular season so they would be fresh for a playoff run. I dont know if any of thats true, but Im sick of hearing about it.
I only tuned in because of the Celtics. Its not like Im watching other games, but Ill probably catch the Finals, or at least parts of it.

When you get to the top instead of turning right to Camp 9, if you go left it's about 7 or 8 miles to the end of Newhall Ave, at the 14 freeway. A couple miles down is the turn to Wilson Canyon (left) which takes you to the hospital. If you turn right there is a nice singletrack into Placerita canyon.

I'm close enough to the park to hear guys playing Frisbee golf from my living room. There is a lot of 10% on that climb so a low gear is helpful.

I am not sure it's realistic, but for my patients who have missed work due to prolonged illness, I typically suggest 1/2 time the first 1-2 weeks before you go full time.

I always enjoy Wilson canyon but some of it is pretty rough and it changes with the rain, too. They graded it during one of the fires and made it smooth but it's been getting it's old personality back. Some of it looks like this.

"Because they're forced to by their sponsors! Otherwise they'd all ride 21mm tubulars at 140 psi!"
Well, at least you know what you want if you have another custom frame built - clearance! Mind you, if I had to get a custom, and I had the foldy/spendy, I'd pay a visit to Marostica and get something from Officina Battaglin. But they'd probably talk me into 12speed Campy.....
