    Road shifter issue

    My experience is that sort of shift behavior may indicate the head end of the cable is starting to separate from the cable inside the sti shifter mech. See if you can push enough cable out of the brifter to observe if there’s any fraying or separation of the cable from the attachment to the...

    “Rough” edge on Roval carbon rim

    I’ve noticed some abrasion/wear on my tire sidewall, just above the bead, at the rim interface (these are the hookless rim design). After a bit of use (probably <250 miles so far on the tire, mounted new), there’s a ~1.5 cm section on the tire where the rubber compound is worn sufficiently to...

    Poison Ivy Mousetrap

    Thanks for yet another fantastic race and race day. For whatever reason, you folks always seem to pick it up a notch with the overall vibe. Food, smiling volunteers, cooks and servers, swag, wandering minstrels, THAT freaking teddy bear (which was awesome btw - does anyone remember the bunny...

    Mooch Madness 2019 (4/28)

    All, thanks again for another great race event. I wish I knew more of you so I could thank you in person. I know it takes a lot to plan, organize, promote, and execute these things, so I’m forever grateful that the proverbial village it takes to pull this off is so connected to each other and in...

    2018 H2H Bulldog Rump (Kittatinny)

    Hate to hear issues like this, even if it's far from the norm. As long as the overall experience is good for the juniors, and the (hopefully) isolated instances don't mentally impact them negatively, it's good to see the next generation out riding, racing, and mixing it up. Keep your kids'...

    2018 H2H Bulldog Rump (Kittatinny)

    Thanks for another great event Bulldogs! Despite driving down this am in torrential rain and T-storms, it calmed down to “only” rain while the endurance classes were waiting at the start for the lightning to pass and getting the all clear. Course held out fine. A bit greasy at the start in...

    What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

    Confirmed. Had the same idea and stopped by otw home from Stewart yesterday. Got there like 2:30, absolutely nothing left in cans: new release or “standard” fare. Was told ppl were there on line yesterday 4:30 am to wait for the OH collab. I’m sure it was good, no sure if anything warrants that...

    H2H #4: The Stewart Poison Ivy Mousetrap

    Hey Folks, you really nailed it. The Stewart races are always like a gathering, wrapped in a race. People just seem so happy to be there, catch up, ride bikes. Good times. Really glad the reg numbers played out well, with what seemed a big draw from people outside the “regular” H2H participant...

    Looking For GTI Advice

    VW recommends the DSG service every 40K. Yes, the DSG trans on the MKVI's and up are all good and free of all the initial issues with the early trans's. Shifts are hella quick if you play the "pseudo manual" driving game, since the dual clutch mech can engage without need to let up on the...

    Stewart Group Ride 6/9 Saturday!

    Good times today all. Greatly appreciated the guided tour pre-ride, plus the extra miles integrated into lap 2. Even though everything there is “kinda familiar”, it’s so much better for me to be able to just follow wheels and not have to think when I’m not following course arrows. Always a...
