    Water Bottles won’t fit.

    bought a Scott Scale size M after a 6 year road only period. Loving the trails again. Silly question since I’ve been away so long. MY water bottles are too tall for the frame using the locations for them on the frame. The down tube just barely and the seat tube forget about it. Any options? I...

    Neck Pain, Always Fit??

    Hey, I started to develop neck pain on the road bike. Starts about 20 miles in. I am asking if it is possible to get neck pain without it being a fit issue?

    Cutting steerer, top caps, and spacers so confused

    Hello, trying to get a new fork installed. Installed the fork, spacers, and stem where I want the bars. I drew a line at the top then as recommended drew a “cut” line 3mm down. Cut steerer, and went to install star nut. I struggled with it so I opted for an old compression plug I had around...

    Strange Feeling

    So my past 3 or 4 rides I’ve been getting a strange feeling about 2/3s in. It feels like my seat slipped and my legs are not stretching enough as if my seats too low. I also get a feeling as if I’m no longer on a adult bike but rather a small BMX bike. For what it’s worth it’s a road bike...

    Anyone know this ride???

    sooo yesterday 07-30 around 11am I passed at least 40 riders around the chesterfield area. It looked like huge group ride. Maybe like a pack of 10 then some stragglers than another pack of 15 and so on and so on. Saw a lot of flat bars and not an overload of white shoes and helmets. I asked one...

    28c why does everyone look at me funny?

    So like most I started on 23's and went to 25's for a long time. After moving to a more rural area with worse roads I tried 28's and I instantly fell in love. But obviously their slower I thought. But after doing my normal loops I was even if not slightly faster than 25's. There's tons of info...

    This pedal vs that pedal, which to buy

    Thinking about getting some new pedals soon. Currently have shimano xt pd-785 the "trail" pedal but I don't want the tail anymore. So I was simply going to get the pd-m780 but shimano just released the new XT M8000 ohhh fancy. More surface area and all that BS. But these cost as much as XTR's...

    Same day sign ups/ thoughts?

    So I haven't done as much as far as events/racing as I planned this year but I'll be damned if I do not cross. So aka I don't have my liscense. I'm on the fence about getting a US cycling liscense since by the time I'll use it it'll almost be expired. Leaving the math out of it I still plan on...

    Quick tech question

    Was going to post in the tech section but it's specific to road brakes. Just installed new shimano caliper brakes. Old cable end cap or ferrule won't fit in adjustment bolt.
