    front wheel pulls left under braking

    I suppose a noodle fork could cause this but I hope we don't have such poor quality stuff on a Giant Stance. If it is the bike, I'd suspect that something has broken or failed.

    front wheel pulls left under braking

    I can't think of anything other than technique that would cause this. The act of pulling your left finger to squeeze the brake lever and inadvertantly pulling your arm towards you? Maybe. Newer riders tend to brace themselves against the handlebars while braking. Instead, drop the heal of your...

    This looks like a pain in the ass

    Jeez. That looks like a sketchy setup. Driving at highway speed will put a bunch of stress on that rack. I've had a tandem and the Thule roof rack is certainly the way to go. I never rode it with my spouse either. Just kids and clients.

    Un-official Otto's Cyclocross Practice Thread

    I'll be there with numerous people. Warmup before 6pm. One lap tour starts at 6pm or thereabouts. Then a couple 15-20 minutes races. Some people go out for a third but the number dwindle as people suffer.

    Stem cap is only a dust cover?

    That dust cover will prevent you from castrating your self in a crash. No joke. Same reason we put plugs at the end of handlebars. Google bar end injury.

    POLL: How long do you wait before replacing cables on your road bike?

    Shift by cable? What about those of us with Di2? Never worry about shift cables again. If a bike shop doesn't sell some type of generic replacement cable and housing, walk out.

    2015 gravity season

    I now have another GT Fury in my house. This one is for my son, Ryan. I already had an older Ironhorse that was working out well for him. GT was blowing these out so I decided to add another. I just installed lighter springs. Ryan and I are headed to Creek for the afternoon tomorrow. Then hoping...

    Broken rear derailleur cable end stuck in Shimano STI lever

    These can be a royal pain in the ass. The shifter has to be in the highest gear position in order for the cable head to be exposed. Most often, the shop keep just finger Fs the shift levers. Shifting up and down until it finally shifts back to the end position so that the cable head is visible...

    I can do Saturday. Closer to camp may be best as it will show me stuff I may use for coaching next weekend. I wouldn't mind seeing the other cool trails with the funny names. Doesn't need to be an epic tour. Give me a time and place. I think @capedoc will join us. Anyone else? Not a beginner...
