Ahead spacers above the stem?
Say it ain’t so Ernesto, say it ain’t so.
I’m not angry, just disappointed.

Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he’s not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he’s not doing either of those he’s pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he’s agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don’t He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

Well now, let's not be hasty. We should get the views of a range of audiences first. For instance, how's it gone down with readers in the Surrey area?

I can't find these on Lezyne's site, not even in among the legacy/discontinued products.

"Confusing name - "Elite" and "Pro" not meaning top end" There is method to the madness. Challenge uses "Elite" to designate second-tier tyres with intermediate thread counts. "Elites" is also the top amateur rank recognised by a few continental European federations, I believe that's the inspiration for the name. Challenge uses "Pro" to designate tyres with open tubular construction. They lie above the vulcanised tyres, that Challenge calls "Race".

Suggest you pull this article, fix it, then bin it.

@ajd As well as confusing George Orwell with Orson Wells - clearly not proof read (at least, not by a different person)

@mdavidford One assumes it's referencing Nancy Mitford's famous "Noblesse Oblige" with its concept of U and non-U language, U being upper class and non-U the more flowery attempts to sound posh from the middle classes. I recall her decreeing that bicycle and bike were U and cycle was non-U, though she was of course a little early to rule on the difference between ATB and MTB.

On the subject of mountain biking, terrific rides by Tom Pidcock and Charlie Aldridge to take gold and silver in the UCI World Championships yesterday.

Most puzzlingly: Firstly for the closing off of parentheses twice, but also, who are these people "in the U"? Is this some kind of slang the kids are using that I'm not down with?

As I recall it made cycling more popular rather than doing for it...honestly, this article is an absolute dumpster fire of factual errors (Orson Welles did not write 1984 and Warner Bros do not organise MTB races) and grammatical and syntactical mistakes ("TV coverage is also, in no short order, what rings in the lion’s share of sponsorship money" - what?). What on earth happened?
