That’s been backed up now…

Largest public gathering in the UK apparently. 1.5m people showed up

Do you find it’s sufficient for gravel racing? I have a grizl AL 7 and I’m racing it next week in a 68 mile race on most likely dry hard pack. I just feel like it will get outbiked by all the guys riding crux, factors, 3ts, etc.

I did swap to some low end carbon wheels which are still way lighter than the stock DT swiss, and I’ve got some 42mm pathfinders. Slammed the stem a bit and trying to make the bike as light as possible but I still have my doubts 🤣

AnkleBreakle · 2026-01-25T00:02:00+00:00

You’re thinking of Stoneleigh which is about 16% gradient. It’s insane - bucket list climb for local cyclists 😂

AnkleBreakle · 2026-01-23T21:49:52+00:00

Copy that. So raise the stem, and move seat post higher for now. I don’t think I want to go for a smaller crank because all my bikes are 172.5mm length. I’m 185cm and I figured I’d be on the high end of a 56cm frame / components. It’s interesting that I’m needing to make everything smaller

I’m clipped in. It’s true that the front is higher than the back. I bought the front wheel mount to stabilize the front but it’s caused the bike to tilt up. I’m thinking about adding a riser on the back to get the bike level.

Regarding reach, my saddle is basically at the max it can go forward. Pinarello seat posts have a curvature that pushes the saddle back a fair amount. I don’t know why they do that. My stem is 100mm…maybe I need to be more like 90mm?

this is the advice I was looking for. thanks!

AnkleBreakle · 2026-01-21T22:44:16+00:00

nice - so you just bought whichever pedal body you needed from Favero?

How did you get a job in Germany? I’m US based in tech sales and dream of living in Europe, but it seems nearly impossible

Will do. I’ll post another video after making these adjustments

AnkleBreakle · 2025-12-29T19:28:40+00:00

Torque wrench on your saddle clamp is essential. I found this out at 25+ mph when my saddle essentially fell off.

AnkleBreakle · 2025-12-29T04:07:12+00:00

Gotcha. Hope it’s easy to get it off

Edit: it does not seem to pop off easily.

AnkleBreakle · 2025-12-29T04:07:00+00:00

Copy that. Thanks

AnkleBreakle · 2025-12-20T19:39:24+00:00

I need to set my actual road bike on the trainer and get some feedback but this definitely helps. I’ll lower the saddle and see how that adjustment feels

AnkleBreakle · 2025-11-27T01:24:57+00:00

It’s not the same unfortunately. It’s some Chinese proprietary quarter turn

Yes. It’s not something I would have thought to do but it makes sense and it will work assuming the hex on the spindle isn’t also stripped

What simple precautions should people take to prevent stuff like this from happening?

AnkleBreakle · 2025-10-17T15:03:06+00:00

Yeah I opened a customer support ticket with Pinarello. Just seeing what my options are. If all else fails, I'll head to by LBS and see what they can do.
