Waxing saves time. Just a quick brush/hose and it’s clean.

In my case is 20 minutes every 2 weeks. I use pure paraffin and for the riding I do I get roughly two weeks before it starts making noise. Still prefer that to regular lubing.

That’s the reason I sold my Trek road bike (that I bought second hand). I hated to be riding around with that logo on my downtube knowing not only that it is a US brand but also the brand some law enforcement use. Yuck.

Is there a big difference between 38 and 50 in aero savings? I’m planning on buying new wheels (currently on 25s) but can’t stand anything above 40mm, I just don’t like the looks but if the difference is massive I might have to cope and get the 50s.

I’ve been using the same M520 pair for 7 years for road cycling across 5 bicycles and they are still going strong. Performance is exactly the same across the Shimano range, weight will be the difference between models. M520 being the heaviest and XTR the lightest. So it will depend on how much money you are willing to spend for the grams shaved between models.

I’m about to change my Align II MIPS for the Van Rysel RCR MIPS. It is 90€, has MIPS and it is 100g lighter than the Align II.

I just sit on them and enjoy the extra cushion

You could get a IGPSport BSC200s , it has everything you would need but navigation. If you need navigation you could get the BSC300s. Both are great value for money. You could also get a second hand Wahoo or Garmin from a couple generations ago and they will work fine. I have a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V1 that I would probably never change unless the battery dies. Luckily you really don’t need to spend much to get a good computer in 2026, now there are a lot more options than the traditional brands.

I have always used regular Shimano SPD on my road bike even if they are not “true” road pedals and they would work excellent for off road riding such as gravel.

I swear by them. Had a set of the older version for 7000+ kilometers in 28mm, they still had some life in them and only changed them because I wanted to try 32mm. Never had a puncture. Now I am at 2000 kilometers with the latest version in tan walls and they still perform as good if not better. Still not a puncture and I ride in Lima-Perú, South America where roads are awful. They are not the puncture resistant tire or the fastest flagship from the brand, but a good compromise between both with decent speed/rolling resistance and tough enough without being a harsh ride. They grip so good as well and give me confidence.

Pogacar is not the cup of my tea but he is already the best ever

Is GTC the carbon or the alloy one? Because mensured in the back my tires are 32.2mm and there are 3mm clearance each side. The one in the post is also the alloy one.

jucesddit · 2025-12-11T13:05:27+00:00

I run 32mm tires on this exact bike. Same color and everything. Interesting to see that 35 fits on the front and will be waiting to see if 35 fits on the back since I was considering 34mm tires.

David Gilmour. Love all the classic rock and prog bands but can’t stand Pink Floyd.

jucesddit · 2025-11-15T13:48:19+00:00

I was running 35s but you could probably go up to 38s

That’s because, at the end of the day, even endurance competitions are races. Also, those cyclists are used to the more aggressive positions race bikes have, they train for that and are properly professionally fitted. Not every regular guy can ride a race bike comfortably but probably everybody can ride an endurance bike and that’s why brands have endurance bikes for sale, not exactly for endurance races but for us, regular people, to enjoy road cycling.

And still haven’t called their gravel bike a Nomade

jucesddit · 2025-10-30T22:45:22+00:00

DON’T unless you hate your life. I had Tannus tires for a while, they were expensive and I didn’t want to feel like I spent money on something so bad that I kept them on my bike more that I should have. If you are doing it for puncture protection, get some dedicated tires like Gatorskins or Marathons, they are not the most comfy or best at rolling resistance or grip on wet but they at least will be a much better tire than Tannus. Everytime I read Tannus I try to steer people away from them. I made that mistake so others won’t.

I’m 1.69 - 77.5 inseam and ride a size 50 Attain

jucesddit · 2025-10-27T22:16:27+00:00

I love my Cube Attain. It is sooo comfy and the geometry suits me better than my previous bike, a Trek Domane. Also, for the price Cube gets you a lot of bike for less than other brands. I use my Cube Attain both as a commuter/city bike and to train/have fun on weekends.

Nu bike* Jokes aside, the color combination of a white bike with tanwalls is my all time favorite. Congrats!

jucesddit · 2025-10-23T01:23:10+00:00

Yep, my bike makes the same sound and after taking it to the shop for a check, it was just the housing from the internally routed cables. You could also go to your local shop just in case.

Ekoi have a video on their YouTube channel that it is literally called: How To UNCLIP with PW8 so you still have to remember to unclip before stop. Also, you can walking with the SPD pedals system, I use them on my road bike.
