I am able to put 25s on the 09 Tarmac, no problem. But Contador is an '11 and I think they were shrinking the gaps for erodynamic reasons . It's not a lot smaller but it would rub on climbs, which was really frustrating. It was like being held back by an invisible hand. And the harder I tried the more it flexed the wheel and the harder it would rub. I remember after a particularly hard climb, after everyone else passed me, I heard the wheel make contact. I used the tape to confirm it later that week.

speaking of tire clearance. One of the guys I ride with has the cervelo S series with the weird bars. The rear wheel tire clearance to the back of the seat post is soooooo small. It’s almost eye twitchy. Doesn’t even look like a penny could fit.

question for the medical expertise. Something I have noticed for a while now. On weeks I ride a lot, by the end of the week when I stand up from a seating position I feel like I could black out. Is this my body telling me I am fatigued or dehydrated? If I take a break then all is normal again.

Press fit and bb30 is an abomination. An affront to the eyes of Eddie Mercx

In between those two bearing sets, I had a Wheels Mfg. conversion BB for a Quarq PM crank. Quiet.

When I cracked the crankarm last September the thing had at least 45K miles on it. I had it apart no more than twice in that time and no parts were ever replaced.

Then again, I've got fans blowing and music playing. Maybe I need to do that on the road. I stopped on the side for a moment yesterday and some guy rode by with music playing. That seemed weird. Also intrusive.
