oh yes, have a 2009 with kysirium SL's and mix of red/force groupset.

its a little on the stiff side, but kysiriums with road tubeless play well to this making it super stiff at low speed, but with hutchison tubeless tyes, very sure footed and compliant at speed. tubs will be the same but if you love rock-hard 120psi clinchers this bike may not be for you, and you may want something smoother.

sram's brute braking force and snappy upchanges in a sprint using just your knuckle goes very well with the bike as well.

I have not yet found a good position with aerobars, but have proceeded down the bodyfit route of getting a better fit on the drops, by putting saddle high and back, and then using stem and bar to get aero which is very aero indeed. putting weight forward on this bike makes it feel less stable in the corners at speed where it excels in a road position (not tri prosition) - and I think has been picked up on with the venge.

in short - love it!

This fantastic news, summer track racing (rain free) is a huge bonus in this area.

Would the British judiciary please take note trying to run people down with a car is attempted murder and not a joke. It would also be useful if we could have a law of Strict Liability to make it absolutely clear that such behaviour is not acceptable...

I like idea of promotion to and demotion
from leagues - gives a team a chance to earn a place, rather than buying one or 'winning' it based on politics. Plus it would make the teams competition way more interesting (rather than just the sponsor's tool it is now) - more incentive to get more than one man in the breakaway (points for places) and more incentive to turn up and actually compete in all the races (rather than just showing faces on the start line).

+1 for the zipvit stuff ...

[LaywerNerdActivate] English judges have to look at the intention of legislation as evidenced by the text which parliament chose when enacting it. The mischief rule is a tool used in determining that intention, but with such a specific law referring to two and three-wheeled vehicles, I'd say an English judge would more likely take the view that, if parliament had meant to include one-wheeled vehicles, they would have said so (unless that judge was the now-deceased Lord Denning, who did what ever he fancied and usually achieved some sort of justice). Otherwise we could be applying the rule to people on stilts too. [LaywerNerdDeactivate]

I like the consistency of suing for $3million and then claiming you don't want a big payout. Good skills.

I remember a few years back seeing a guy zoom past on a unicycle when we'd just staggered out of a pub by Victoria Park. Absolutely hammering down, it was. And yes, he was on the road. Chapeau, albeit a conical one with a bobble on top.

Like Simon MacMichael, I love cycling but don't ride every day because work's too far away, life/family takes up time etc. Anything to motivate me to get out more is a good thing

More power to the 30DaysofBiking guys, and a happiness transplant for the haters

One last note. Check out our ongoing Twitter stream here: http://bit.ly/30Stream

This is ridiculous. He received a heavy fine, which he deserved. Yet motorists killing cyclists tend to receive lighter fines. Why is this anomaly allowed? As for pavement cycling, it seems that with all the action being taken against cyclists at present, no-one is for example bothering to consider why so many cyclists choose to ride on the pavement. In other words, the law seems to be trying to deal with the symptom rather than the cause, which is bad driving on the part of so many motorists.

Zipvit bars, gels and sweets are very good.

The fact that those teams work for Schleck and Contador is that they are best. They have the skill to finish a climb and compete at the top level, and they need support from their teams to deliver them in through right place.
The reason the classics strong men don't do as well in the GC is that they cannot stay with the pace on long climbs, regularly this is due to physical condition or technique. Contador is slight and suited to climbing while Hushed it bigger and better at laying down power on the flat.
Hope that helps
