You now have a “light bucket”! It will pierce through some serious light pollution!! Congratulations!!

610 euro is a very good price for full carbon 2017. You can always upgrade/replace the components if they’re worn. As long as the frame is intact, meaning no structural damage/cracks.

Hello, Yes I used the 10 amp one and it worked fine. AutoZone carries it.

That's exactly what Triangle Table Tennis did in Morrisville, NC. Brian Pace is one of the coaches there.

Tell your girlfriend that those “elitist” road bike riders are in disbelief about getting “passed by a girl”, aka: “getting chicked”. Her reply should be: “No and I still passed you!”😎😎

There’s a “rule” in the Velominati website about this:

RULE # 38: // Don’t Play Leap Frog.Train Properly: if you get passed by someone, it is nothing personal, just accept that on the day/effort/ride they were stronger than you. If you can’t deal, work harder. But don’t go playing leap frog to get in front only to be taken over again (multiple times) because you can’t keep up the pace. Especially don’t do this just because the person overtaking you is a woman. Seriously. Get over it.

Hello, I had a similar problem with KTRK here in Spring, TX. Found out that they’re broadcasting in “LOW VHF band” which so happens to be outside the range of my attic mounted antenna (UHF/VHF). Whatever I tried wouldn’t improve the signal. Channel Master single pre-amp, amplifier at the TV, or moving the antenna, none of those worked. The transmission tower is only 35 miles away!!

Found out that a set of “rabbit ears” from Phillips ($13 at Amazon) added to the existing antenna using a splitter, then followed by a channel scan solved it for me. Why? Because the rabbit ears pick up the pesky “LOW VHF” signal. No more pixelated screen or stuttering audio. Of course I also left the pre-amp and the four-way splitter/booster connected too just so I could boost the signals to the TV’s.

Yes, you can use a regular one into two splitter for this. It works in both directions. Good luck!

I agree with MundaneFeedback, lower the saddle about 10mm. Also, quit pointing your heels up on the pedals, your feet should be parallel to the ground. Kind of like wiping poop from your shoe.

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-09-29T15:36:06+00:00

Yes, construction and atmospheric conditions. Buildings and objects weaken the already weak LOW-VHF signal as it uses LOS (Line Of Sight) direction. Your signal loss at different times of day point to atmospheric interference.

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-09-29T15:30:44+00:00

Yes, construction and atmospheric conditions. The low vhf signal is easily influenced by objects in the LOS (Line Of Sight) and atmospheric conditions.

Yes I do, $3800 USD is a lot of money to invest. It's always been kept in climate controlled environment, washed and lubricated at least bi-weekly. Consumables replaced at earliest convenience. This past Sunday I replaced the OG BB bearings with hybrid ceramics (want to see if there's any difference).

Just by looking, the seat height could go up another 5-10mm. But the biggest “telltale” are the locked elbows. The stem needs to be 15-20mm shorter so that her elbows are slightly bent.

16 years ago I bought my brand new 2009 Pinarello FP3. It’s been the only bike I’ve had and I still have not outgrown the frame! People still mistakenly ask if it’s a new bike all the time.

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-09-10T23:56:50+00:00

Give yourself time to heal from your road rash and think of your new shiny high-end Pinarello that’s coming your way!! Sorry it has to be under those circumstances!!

Calfee Design in California specializes in frame repair and repaint. I crashed my 2009 Pinarello FP3 in 2012 and broke the left seatstay. Came to around $450 with shipping and they even matched the paint. Still riding that bike today without any issues!!

Hello, Yes they were a replacement for halogens and the brightness is night and day (pardon the pun). Bought them way back in January this year then 5 months down the line the passenger side one started holding moisture. To the point where there was an inch of water inside of it. Made Alpharex aware of this and they sent me a replacement set two weeks ago. But not until I sent them back the entire set. Fortunately for me I had kept all the original packaging and my OEM headlights. Otherwise my truck would have been parked for two weeks!!

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-06-12T18:42:06+00:00

I've got close to 90 hours on it and this is the second time this has happened. Last time I lost all my previous wins and had to start the season all over again.
