@chrisgampat any chance you can help out a fellow media person with a contact?

@thecyclephysio Trying to reach you. The website has a broken link for email, instagram messages are turned off, linkedin the same. I'm kind of stuck so trying Twitter.

It's a question nearly as old as time (or at least since SRAM became a company): SRAM Red or Shimano Dura-Ace? We long-term tested each for our latest thoughts on this ever evolving debate bit.ly/4fBQTQ9

@graemebcricket They tend to be who I suggest for good value stuff and they are ready to find in most cycling stores. They are also only slightly cheaper than rapha. It's something I was surprised about.

@josh_ross Oh no I’m uk based. Makes sense to have not heard of them… for now

What do Rapha's financial woes reveal about the state of road and gravel cycling? bit.ly/48nlvCR

@graemebcricket Yup. Pearl izumi is one of the largest cycling clothing companies in the US. They are actually owned by Shimano now and pretty big worldwide. Just not in the UK.

@graemebcricket @velovelovelo__ You've never heard of Pearl izumi? I'm going to guess you aren't based in the US.

@graemebcricket @velovelovelo__ Would you also call Pearl Izumi over priced?

@velovelovelo__ Shows catering to the luxury end doesn’t pay off. Even their Core gear is too expensive

@fietsenmetfrank @velovelovelo__ It's a flat segment. That won't help.

Can you buy your way to a KOM? Sort of. bit.ly/47qgUzd

@si_rides @velovelovelo__ @TrekBikes Got a picture? I'm not seeing that one.

@velovelovelo__ Got a @TrekBikes Wrench Force which is awesome, never used a cheap one so nothing to compare it with, from memory these were made by Snap-on (at least some of the Wrench Force range which is long OOP was)

Chain whips suck. These are the easiest and most effective cassette tools for cassette lockrings and disc brakes. bit.ly/3Y95gWp

@lonefrontranger @velovelovelo__ Brand new park tools there in the picture. It works fine but there's better.

@velovelovelo__ IMO most chainwhips "suck" because the people using them haven't upgraded them since 9 speed was a thing, js.

@rcg1515 @velovelovelo__ I change a lot of wheels, chain whips are adequate but the unior tools are vastly superior.

@velovelovelo__ What’s wrong with chain whips? Work fine for me. Feels like you’re just trying to get people to buy new tools unnecessarily.

I spent days riding 70+ miles going nowhere so I could test aero helmets with a real time sensor. Looking for the fastest aero road helmet? Here it is: velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-gear…

@BungieHelp why can you not build a working app?

@jones_amgwagon They do indeed. Printing a whole bike is something new.

@josh_ross No22 does use 3-D printing for the Ti stem (fully hidden cables for the non-de-coupler bikes) as well as for the dropouts (I think).

@josh_ross I liked the review of the MADE trade show. Not sure aero Ti needs to be a thing, but the de-coupler I got from No22 this spring is a game-changer for travel. Also got matching Ti fenders!

@jones_amgwagon Oh, and gorgeous bike.

@jones_amgwagon Glad you liked the article.

Roads aren't any more dangerous when cyclists are allowed to treat stop signs as yield. So why aren't there more laws allowing the 'Idaho stop'?velo.outsideonline.com/urban/urban-cu…

@Pflax1 This guy was drunk. At least we've decided that's not okay. What about the jerks that close pass on empty roads for no reason?

One thing that is very striking is that this is the kind of country road that many riders feel safest on.
