I put them on yesterday. They needed some convincing but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm guessing that yours are of the tubeless persuasion? I went with tube type (23mm) and Vittoria latex tubes. These things are fast! Managed to maintain 30km/h over a 30km loop today, first time ever.

Riding a supersport slow is still trickier than riding a 300 slow. Supersports are stiff and twitchy and unforgiving. 300s are light and nimble and a ton of fun. The only bike I've ever dropped while moving is @mistersouthpaw's ZX6R. Misjudged my speed, grabbed a handful of brake too late and...

Agreed. I like the understated Cannons better. A local here has a murdered-out SuperSix EVO, it's noice.

Oh my

Still waiting on the new rubber. I have metal levers if need be.

Yeah no. Don't fall.

I have Castelli bibs and Garneau shorts. Also have padded underwear for short rides when I don't want to rock the full spandex look - I just wear regular shorts over them. Full spandex is a must for long distances. Screw the haters. Reducing air resistance is key.

You just need to fuel properly for long distance cycling. Camelbak is a must for a ride that long. Some people like using a caffeinated drink mix but it just makes me jittery. Regular Gatorade for this guy, then I consume a gel and/or a Clif bar every 45 mins. You can also bring a water bottle...

I hiked about 5kms of it a few weeks ago, the bit that runs along Hope Bay's north shore. Unbelievably beautiful. World-class stuff.

Yeah b1tches Cabot Head Road was unbelievably gorgeous this AM. Highlight of the trip. Too lazy to reupload all the pics, y'all are allowed to creep my FB: I briefly considered pushing my luck to 200kms, but it was hot and my legs were gone after having to cover 45kms of gravel w/ worn...

**** me. I just did a recon drive of my planned bike route, and there's this Cabot Head Lighthouse that's sort of on the way. 40km detour and 8kms of gravel to reach it though, and I brought my Kona w/ 23mm slicks. 🤔 I think I'm going to try it and turn around if it gets too sh1tty. Still...

The guy I rode with this morning covers 20k kms a year on his road bike. 😲 I've done just over 2k in 3.5 months which I thought was good.

Did 60k this morning, felt a bit sluggish. Will take a day off tomorrow and then do Hope Bay - Tobermory - Hope Bay on Sunday. 💪 If anyone wants to tag along, I'm leaving by sunrise to avoid Highway 6 traffic as much as possible. :geek:

Yeah. The cheating is usually pretty obvious though, especially when a motor is used on a climb. If you look at the data the speed is too steady, and if the person is sharing their heart rate data you can clearly see what's happening. No one can climb a 15% grade hill for any amount of time and...

I'm at this stage of the disease: (I only have two KOMs, and I know it's only because I'm in a small town. No way I'm going to take any crowns in the GTA, not without years of training.)

I picked up road cycling in May after picking up an older Costco bike (Tonino Lamborghini) for 50 bucks. I fixed it up as best I could and put 32mm gravel tires on it for putting around Owen Sound trails. I ended up doing 1500kms on it including a metric century. Then a couple weeks ago I got...

For the record, I wasn't making fun of you. I didn't even mean to quote your post. Read somewhere today: "If you understand the situation in Afghanistan, that means it wasn't well explained to you."

McCartney 3 2 1 was fascinating. Producer Rick Rubin and Macca sit at the console and they deconstruct a bunch of Beatles/McCartney songs. Love how banal the stories behind most of the songs are. Rick Rubin comes across as a bit of a sycophant, but that was probably done on purpose. Ask simple...

Not to make fun of anyone here, but I can't imagine pulling up to Rosey Toes in an R1 of any vintage, taking a look at the facade, the bikes lined up outside and the staff working inside, and deciding "yep, this is the right place for my baby". The whole place is straight out of a Coen Brothers...
