I’ve never really known how to tell if it was time to replace a wheel due to wear on the rim… is there a quick answer or should I get lost and find out on a bike repair style site?... Read more »

@Cruftbox or put a this bike is not a pipe bomb sticker on it.

@andrew_f_martin Will attach the Cross bike to Bettie and ride that it in. Initial attempt looks like this: http://brizzly.com/pic/3EWZ

@Cruftbox why yes that's fine.

Pam reminded us that after Monday, no white pants, that goes for white kits and shoes too.

@GobCarlqvist @veloiste do you have a source on that, writing a post this morning and that's perfect.

Fignon is trending on Twitter. Watching videos, falling of rollers in the back of a grimy bike shop, would've never thought of that.

Cycling Northwest commented on "Running up to CX season with Cycling Northwest":

Thank you Mark and Byron for the play. It was a very fun and successful 4 weeks. This groups will be tough to beat!

DL Byron commented on "Cross Season 2010/11":

Making kids bikes with regular dropouts for car racks is brilliant. Specialized makes shims for Shimano and possibly SRAM that shortens the lever pull for the brakes.

Thanks @universalsports for the Cross coverage and Vuelta.

Fignon was a champion when they behaved like champions, not Pretty Boys handled in the press by PR and marketing staff.

First run of the season and reminded why Team Hugger choses pedaling sports v. running sports. Run ups? More like awkward grunt ups.

.@crc_hurl Raced with a single speeder in a CRC kit, said something like Cars are Coffins bro, through the blinding moon dust section.

@baronbicycles @fakehsp maybe takes much energy to maintain that level of sarcasm or lack of eating and too many espressos.
