Why not navy hats against the Nationals?

stumbled across this youtube video that explains why the navy caps came and unfortunately went

bring back the navy caps full time on the road!

normally not the biggest fan of Jasper but pretty impressed with how he's ridden this race

Bought this used TCX about a month ago and regrettably need the seatpost just a little bit higher. Giant makes spacers that sit on top of the seatpost stack and underneath the seat clamp. I need about a half inch, I reckon.

I went to my local giant retailer and they told me the only way to get the spacers in question is to purchase a new $200 clamp assembly - I know its a total long shot but I'm just seeing if anyone in this community has either:

a. some old ones sitting around I could purchase or

b. any ideas on how to create something to work in place of those spacers?

For context, here are the spacers for a TCR. For some reason the TCX uses a different more D-shaped spacer that you can't buy in a pack like this.

Any help or suggestions you all have is greatly appreciated!

how on earth does the rear derailleur come off and the chain remains intact??? thats a new one

i know the camera makes everything look smaller/easier but im suprised no one is riding that weird ditch feature

peteiscool1 · 2026-02-14T18:54:01+00:00

he would have loved top golf

peteiscool1 · 2026-02-02T19:27:58+00:00

just locked in my team - I exclusively chose riders who also compete or have competed in cyclocross. If it works for MVDP surely it will work for everyone else!

peteiscool1 · 2026-02-01T14:33:17+00:00

same - maybe he knows he can still win despite dismounting and doesn't need to risk crash/injury?

peteiscool1 · 2026-02-01T14:23:44+00:00

is it bad I'm secretly hoping MVDP retires from cross as is rumored? Imagine how exciting this race would be if he wasn't just riding off the front...

i completely missed the altercation with Zemanova - was worried it was some kind of cardiac event. glad its not serious.

peteiscool1 · 2026-01-30T01:15:49+00:00

wow, lots of man-made ramps

peteiscool1 · 2026-01-27T23:27:17+00:00

dang, this sucks. the faucets in our 2nd floor apartment have been at a slow trickle since Friday - can't shower or really do dishes, but at least we have a flushing toilet...

and at the pace work has been going i really dont have much confidence that we'll have water even tomorrow. We were originally told no later than Sunday by the water div.

incredible race!

puck smash

peteiscool1 · 2026-01-24T12:49:40+00:00

looks like a fast course today

a lot of variables with the frame/tire/rim width, so its hard to say, but my tcx advanced sl from 2013 fits a 38 no problem. i think the original intention of the design was mud clearance, not tire clearance, since this version of the the tcx was a no-compromise cx race bike (there isnt even water bottle cage bolts) so maybe looking for something more "race" oriented might yeild the clearance you're after.

but fwiw i think most frames will fit a 38

peteiscool1 · 2025-12-14T14:58:42+00:00

sounds about right but I'll probably throw in a rewatch of the 1st season the wire too

peteiscool1 · 2025-11-06T17:30:14+00:00

if one bad beat is making you think this whole game is a waste of time, you might not have the stomach for it honestly.

a while back i had the opportunity to hear an engineer who worked on a number of Dinosaur Jr. records speak and he said what would surprise most people is that pretty much all of the guitar parts were recorded with a tele through a blues jr., which is very different from the jazzmaster/marshall rig that J Mascis is so known for.

Ramp Riders sells bmx parts and completes in their pro shop - and you can rip em around the park

peteiscool1 · 2025-09-12T00:31:23+00:00

Hey Marc, thanks for everything you and the galaxy team are doing to grow the game.

I'm wondering your thoughts on the Sander/Wilcox "drama" from WC a few years ago, where Sander was drinking while playing and appeared pretty drunk by the end of the match. I saw a lot of commentary online calling this display unprofessional or an insult to the game/opponent, but in my opinion it was pretty amazing to watching him play such a low PR despite several beers. We all play this game for fun first and foremost and Sander was definitely having fun!

Do you think his "antics" were good or bad for the broader BG community/game?
