Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

At least a nice Di2 though. 😜

So, decided on Garmin. Can't imagine not being happy with that.

Shop customer did a resto-mod to his old Motobecane. Made it into a gravel bike. I provided advice and sourced parts for him. I think he did a great job.

Hot. But needs a Thomson seatpost, a double check that that's not a death stem, and a little bar angle work.

I concur, he needs a lightweight, elegant and aero seatpost like the one on my bike.

I'm curious about the torque wrench. Won't the pedaling action tighten it beyond the torque specs? I know some are tied to torque specs, especially in crabon world. I have never been among that set. That and spoke tensiometers.

He wanted to use as many original parts as possible. He did not consult me on the bar angle.

My Trek 414 is my gravel bike. I just put it back together and test-rode it today. It, of course, rides like a dream.

No. You conflated two posts, and then failed to shepardize to see if it was still good law.

And not all of Tennessee is the proper East Coast, just the Eastern Division.

You're stuck in the 90s. Nobody uses Shepards anymore. Time to get with the program.

I don't use a torque wrench for cassettes. The recommended torque is like 40 or 50 Nm which is about all my scrawny cyclist arms can muster.

Pedaling action has no effect on cassette lockrings.

Just need a longer wrench. I have no problem getting to 110 NM on car wheels with my long one.

Notice the pedals and paved surface. Heart rate usually in zone 2 or 3 while riding.
