Re: Chain longer if using RD-R8000 GS?
I usually do small-small through all derailleurs and remove links until there is no slack. This way will give the longest chain possible which then future proof for whenever I want to use larger cassette (or chainrings) in the future. But that's just me. Long chain while have more links to share th...

Re: Chain longer if using RD-R8000 GS?
I'm installing an Ultegra R8000 group on an older bike and will be using the GS version of the rear derailleur so I can run the 11-34t cassette. My question is do I add an extra link or two to the standard "biggest sprocket - biggest chainring" method of determining chain length to account for the ...

Re: Sapim Super CX-Ray Spoke Tension
They didn't say they developed a new steel, but that a new steel was developed. That's not unusual, metallurgical progress is constant and ongoing.

Re: Criticism of Fulcrum Razing Zero Carbon wheels in https://intheknowcycling.com
99% The braking issue is going to be down to poor calliper setup (toe-in in particular) or using the wrong pads. No other reason for there to be a great disparity between two wheels with the same surface.

Re: 2020 Pro thread
Looks like he brought Richard Mille as a sponsor to the team with him. No, McLaren brought Richard Mille. They’ve got a sponsorship/co-branding relationship going way back. What took them so long then? With the timing, it makes more sense that the brand came because of Cav. The team was only rebran...

Re: Chris King Dumps Campagnolo
The doubling down by CK on SRAM with the XDR hubs and conversion, disposable proprietary components and outsourcing of everything etc seem in stark contrast to what CK stands for. Campagnolo seems much more in line with CK. I have a ton of CK gear but this might be the end for me. It’s nothing to d...

Re: Bontrager Aeolus Saddle
they do innovate. the ee brake thing and split pivot are unforgivable though. which colors my opinion of their power saddle clone. It’s so not a Power saddle clone. Yes it’s a short nose saddle, but in every other respect it’s a totally different shape. No one says that every normal length saddle i...

Re: Understanding thru axle lengths...
The fork will come with an axle, so don’t worry about it.. In general for aftermarket Thru’s you need to know thread pitch as well as length and diameter. I’m not 100% sure but I think aftermarket axles for the Enve fork are tricky to get because they use a very specific dropout thickness and counte...
