The idea of having carbon wheels and not having to worry about heat and the condition of the brake track is tempting ...

So.. Venge Vias Disc for coffee runs?

I would settle for Cervelo R3 Disc. Everyone else in the city is riding Cervelo, I don't want to be left out!

Weight of disc brakes cancels out weight of carbon rims. Cost of both components is a premium vs. calipers and aluminum rims. I guess longevity of replacing a disc rotor vs a rim with a work brake track if you run heavy mileage is a consideration

For me, I'd never ride in the rain or inclement weather, so I'd never see the benefit of discs.

For the IG likes!

Thanks! I contacted them but unfortunately they don't carry Felt anymore.

I walked into Bicicletta one time (Broadway, west of Main) and they carried Felt Road bikes, not sure about the cruisers though.

Venge Vias Disc with panniers and front basket for those 400m trips to the grocery store.

:heckno:

Add Spurcycle Bell please.

anyone know of any shops that have giant anyroad 2 instock? they seem to be sold out

For long morning rides, do you guys eat before you go or do you wait until you get home to have breakfast? And have gels/bars on the road?

I've mostly been riding in the evening after work so I don't really have any experience going early morning.

Yes eat carbs. You need energy from the get go.

Never go morning rides without breakfast. Always eat light the night before anticipating a long ride the next morning.

whole grain stuff and oatmeal with fresh fruit is good for slow and consistent energy release.

Always start off with a nice gulp of water and pre hydrate before every ride and go out with at least a bottle with some sort of electrolyte in it. I use some gatorade powder.

Personally, I hate gels. They're quick and gets energy to your blood, but i simply cannot take the after taste of most gels and having to chase with water. I prefer the stuff that has a bit more substance to it like a chew or bar. Those honey stingers I got in penticton are pretty damn awesome though. I wish I loaded up my pockets with the packs of them.

who's down for an RS boob meat bike edition?

I'm down!

Have you tried born gels? They're very liquid unlike any other gel there in the market and they taste great too (at least the apple one).

Born North America | SUPER LIQUID GEL

possibly down as well.

hmm, i should check those out. Apple seems like a safe flavor. I've had some funky flavours like peach or apricot that didn't sit well.

Thursday night boob meat? name a place and time.

anyone doing the FV fondo? I want to but don't want to drop another $220..... especially if i'm not riding in a group again. Monday's the last day of registration.

I'm considering it.

I don't mean this to sound cheeky, but have you tried contacting the Giant store? :p

So tempting, but it's so similar to the canada day populaire just mostly backwards. populaire was $25.

I'll have to make the call soon on how much "fun" I want to have at a reception the night before the FV fondo. That's the deciding factor.....

:drunk:
