This is unfair to Ron Burgundy.

[youth pastor voice] Do you know what the oldest book is, Marc?

No, they like seeing each other naked.

Need a @pflax1.bsky.social review.

Yes, until they see us naked.

Kreuziger must have been beefing up those arms and shoulders to be able to pull Bauhaus.

Back when American publications acknowledged the existence of bikes.

I see what you mean, all the longer climbs are in the first half of stages where they are less impactful. Everything in the finales seems shorter.

He is a talented rider about to break through though, that part is true!

He's French so at some point he has to ride for Cofidis. I don't make the rules.

Yup. A clean Shimano chain with that on it was the fastest you could get for a while.

I kept using Rock & Roll Extreme on my CX bikes when I was still racing, just in case of wet conditions. Plus I didn't want it to go to waste after I switched my road bikes to wax.

Just don't ride in the rain guys.

I'm terrible at anything longer than 5 hours, and I absolutely don't have time to train for 6+ hour rides. But somehow they are appealing to me, maybe like 3-4 times a year.

I've got a bottle of the Silca queued up for when I run out of Squirt.

States should strongly consider enacting laws against war crimes now.

I'm only half joking.

I should add, all of you in the replies to me ride in either New England or MN (Jake). I think the lube that works is very dependent on the conditions you ride in, so take anything I say with a grain of [sand] from the desert SW. What works for me may not work in wetter environments.

Is there a new one with Mathieu now, or did he just spit?

I use cheaper citrus degreaser most of the time, but the Silca stripper is the only thing that consistently removes the packing grease that most high-quality chains come with.

I got a Kendal 2 Liter over a decade ago on sale for like $45, still going strong. Cleaning and prepping my chain used to be a regular thing before any race I cared about.
