I take a lot of ribbing from the local club riders because I wear merino all year round. I point out that there is summer weight and winter weight wool, but that is met with eye rolls. Ibex makes nice stuff, so does Smartwool for summer wear. Name not withstanding, IceBreaker wool bib shorts ar

The Hunq came out around the same time as the updated Bullmoose bars and lots of the photos had it shown with those bars. The Bosco bars did indeed come much later. On Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 11:24:33 PM UTC-4, Tim wrote: > > I don't think the Hunq was built around Bosco bars. I'm pretty sur

You gotta ride one. It's not nostalgia. It is a great bike. It's natural to push design. So longer cockpit, longer chainstays, etc... but that doesn't mean better. Atlantis really is unique. It's a serious, super-duty road bike for folks who know steel. And it's drop dead beautiful. Folks a

You know you have a problem with wrenching when... You're away on vacation and you use a flat tire as an excuse to wash your bike and to scrub the grim off the rims and chain. Anyway, that's what I did last week when I was vacationing in Cape May NJ. Which is a great place to be if you're a cy

It is my understanding - yeah, I could be wrong - that all 3/32 7/8/9/10-speed chains retain the same internal width, it's the outside plates which get narrowed. What makes a 9-speed crank 9-speed is the chainrings are spaced closer together so that the narrowed chain doesn't fall between them.
