Six of the best Endurance bikes - Churn out the miles in comfort
Are you in the market for a road bike that will provide comfort for those longer rides you've got planned in 2018? What you need is an endurance bike, and the market is awash with choice. To help you narrow down that choice, we've picked six of the best endurance bikes we've tested here at road.cc.

To add another data point, I've also had a Shimano 10-speed gear cable fray and snap in the brifter. I'd estimate the inner cable was about 18...
Fight crime? I'm pretty sure that he's a super-villain/cult leader
I agree - but that's always been the sticking point. Chicken and egg of "nobody cycles, so why should we put in proper quality infra?". A counter...
The police turn a blind (lazy) eye to it but they shouldn't because the vehicles are illegal...
I can only hope that when he gets filmed doing something similar again in the future, the Police do something more significant, and nobody gets...
I think the government need to step in and start applying price caps to new Specialized products. It's getting a bit out of hand really.
OK, I need to read it again!
