Judging by the tree trunk size of her thighs, I wouldn't be surprised if she was on some type of juice. Can women get 'roid rage? Either that or she's a speed skater in the off season. A long ride that concludes with some bratwurst at the local brew haus sounds good. Maybe David Estes can hook th

I think what caused the rage was over training. Its clear to me that Grok would never have been a tri-athlete and for heavens sake, we all know that uber endurance training is not healthy. The effects of cronic over training are; grouchiness, impolite remarks, cursing like a sailor ( a German u-b

I forgot from whom I bought the nice German dynamo and halogen Lumotec light, but I just received a proper fork leg clamp (thanks, Adam; mag and postage to follow) and I need basic advice about wiring.

Sorry to hear of your encounter, Aaron, and I hope it didn't spoil your day. One would hope that all cyclists could get along, but we're all just people, and it seems like 1% of the population walks (or rides) around with a perpetually poopy diaper and there's nothing anybody can do to change tha

Hey David, regard myself as a bit of an expert having converted a dussin road and mtb's for expedition touring. Off the shelf p-clamps are rarely strong or tight enough to take the pounding. Hose clamps or diy p-clamps made from strips of 1.5 - 2 mm stainless steel are the way to go. My favorite i
