For the second year in a row, Purdue gets taken out by a North Jersey team. And in the last three years, they've been beaten by a 13 seed (North Texas), a 15 seed (ST.PETER'S!!!) and now a 16 seed (FDU) ... how does a team with a guy as big as Edey lose to the smallest team in the tournament?

I had a ride killed before it started this afternoon when my bar-mounted light wouldn't turn on. I have a MagicShine Monteer 5000 and this is a frequent issue I've had with it for quite a while now. Apparently, this is not an issue unique to my set. It's some kind of short in the cable, which...

Until I got the Niner RKT this year, pretty much all of my bikes were customized to some extent (meaning that I spec'ed out parts for each frame - I don't have any truly "custom" frames.) That basically means that all of my MTBs until now are very similar in geometry and feel. But given the...

This is a fantastic watch. I remember rooting for Cav to win the sprint on the Champs Elysee, but watching this I'm really glad Wout took it. This is just really cool ...

A friend of a friend is selling this on Craig’s List in the suburbs north of Philly if anyone is interested. Don’t know anything about it but price seems in the right zone … http://up.org/bik/d/chalfont-trek-supercaliber-97/7480485227.html

I've been waiting more than half my life for this, so I'm just gonna go ahead and put this riiiiiiiight here ...

It's not a geared bike - it's a dozen or so SS's all in one ... riiiiiiight???? (I have no justification for the bouncy parts ... )

I drove out to Wharton this afternoon after my last meeting to get a ride in with the warmer weather. Things did not go as planned. Started out fine - the trail was a bit soft and loamy - which I hate - but whatever. I started a little before 5, so I was all the way out at the dropout trail if...

My hands and toes tend to get really cold in the winter - not to the extent of Reynauds or anything that bad, but by the end of the night ride this time of year I'd say chances are about 50/50 that I'll spend 10 minutes sitting in my car fighting back tears as the blood flowing back into my...

Hey all - Just wanted to pass this along. I updated the "Wharton Winter Challenge" Strava club for 2022. There is a second segment added this year for those interested in a longer effort. I created a two lap segment that starts and ends at the Batsto Lot trailhead. So there are two "challenges"...

Last night, I got out for a loop at Wiss. As I was riding, I was thinking about how many miles I've put in there over the years (a lot) and how the place has changed over that period (also a lot.) When I started riding Wiss, the "full loop" was about 14 miles and many of the sections that have...

I broke a spoke off inside the nipple the other day, so to fix it I had to remove the existing tape and then retape the rim when I was finished. This is maybe the fifth or sixth time I've had to tape a rim over the years. I remember years ago watching a video on how to do it and I distinctly...

I'm off this week and wanted to get a chance to ride someplace I haven't been before. Back in 2018, I registered for the Transylvania Epic, only to have it cancelled for lack of interest that year (when they cancelled, I was one of only 7 people registered three months after registration...

On Saturday night, I cleaned my bike up to get the pounds of Wissahickon schist off after three rides there this past week. I did a full detail job - broke it down, cleaned all the parts (re-greasing as necessary), even polished the frame. Then yesterday I took it out to Wharton and did almost...

Happy holidays everybody! I created a Strava challenge for anyone looking to add some motivation to their winter training. I know there is already the "BIYF" contest, and this in no way seeks to replace or compete with that. This is more like a "fitness test" you can add to augment your base...

So a recent experiment might just call into question the fundamental axiom of cycling "If it isn't on Strava, it didn't happen". But not in the way you may think - it's not saying it could have happened even if it wasn't on Strava. It's actually saying that even if it's on Strava, depending on...

I'm on vacation this week. At least I think I am. I still had to check on a few things for work, but so far I haven't had to actually get involved in anything. Which is nice. I guess. I only took this week off because I have to burn vacation days - I had no plans at all because nothing is worth...

I've been to Trexler a few times this year now and I've seen it mentioned in a few threads but didn't see a specific thread for it. So here's a little info for those who may want to check it out. First, one thing I've heard a bunch of times is that Trexler is fun but short. I get why people say...

In all my years of riding SS, this is the first time I've had a CK cog fail. This cog is super old (as evidenced by the completely worn down teeth) so it's to be expected - eventually anything can fail - but this is really the first time I've ever seen a Chris King bite the dust ... the crack...

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this ... My front wheel was showing a lot of lateral play and shaking quite a bit lately so I figured it was time for new bearings. It's a DT Swiss 350 hub, and the bearing race is so flush to the axle that it seems almost impossible to get it out...
