  1. Mehr Radius oder mehr Luft? Genau dort beginnt die eigentliche 32-Zoll-Debatte — und erstaunlich wenige Tests stellen diese Frage überhaupt.

    Wir haben Messdaten, Physik, Unbound, UCI-Regeln und Marktlogik zusammengedacht: Warum 32 Zoll reale Vorteile haben könnte, warum die Industrie die Idee trotzdem möglicherweise überhöht — und weshalb die spannendste Entwicklung vielleicht längst über Reifenbreite passiert.

  2. Hey #biketooter #bikes #bicycle people. I have an old scrapheap racer which has 30-44-52T chainrings. I'm struggling to find a wide range front derailleur to replace the tiagra fd4403 that broke off it's spring retaining nub today (classic fail). It's a 34.9mm mount and bottom pull. Anyone got any suggestions for a replacement? #biketech boosts welcome!

  3. Bike tech for us mere mortals is moving at incredible pace.
    This computer is basically a head unit that tracks satellites, giving the rider rich accurate info (including altitude lol). For just €20.
    The rear light in this set has a gyroscope that senses when you're braking, flashing in an urgent manner that alerts drivers (& cyclists too, I guess) behind you. How cool is that?? And for under €15.

    ...
    This trend and the obvious advantages of respective tire choices is hardly new. But indeed still "today" (dramatically exaggerated) manufacturers like Canyon introduce Gravel Race Bikes with only 42 mm tire clearance. You can read my take on this (and glean tons of other info) here:

  10. In the same notion I was quite baffled by some expressions in this Autsaid Podcast episode of what I perceived as being surprised and disappointed about the tire and tech choice of basically all the top incoming (male) Unbound 200 riders (basically all on MTB tires) and not being able to replicate it on the spot...

    And while I myself do not race Gravel and therefor when testing prototypes, then very few and rather in the bikepacking realm - I do my best to educate, consult and voice the need/want for Gravel and cycling tech towards cycling journalists, bike industry product owners and riders of all levels. Just head to my blog and read... it's there for all people to use. ;)

  12. "Peak Gravel"!? Hah - no, not yet by far! I had a similar WTF expletion in my mind when I heard that from escapecollective

    Heed what paysonmcelveen is saying. He's right on the money! (you would have to do this on Instagram - and can reach it e.g. also via my original story there).

  13. @Technokrat So, beide Stopper sind montiert, die ersten Testbremsungen fühlten sich schon mal nicht schlecht an.
    Vorn schleift und quietscht es noch ein bisschen, liegt aber eher an der Scheibe.
    Ich sag mal, ich bin vorsichtig optimistisch. 😁

  14. Zusatzfrage: Weiß zufällig jemand, ob man bei einer #Shimano Saint Bremse am Caliper die Anschlüsse von Bremsleitung und Entlüftung gegeneinander tauschen kann?
    Seltsame Frage vielleicht, aber wenn das möglich wäre, könnte ich die Leitung deutlich sauberer und ohne sehr enge Bögen verlegen.

  15. Hallo #Biking bubble.
    Wer kennt sich genauer mit #hydraulicbrakes aus und kann mir folgende Frage beantworten: inwiefern unterscheiden sich die Bremsgriffe (bzw Geber-Kolben) zwischen zwei- und vier-Kolben Bremsen (konkret #Shimano)?

  16. Looking for a lunch break read?

    What you might want to consider when looking at new Gravelbikes like Rose Backroad FF, Canyon Grail v2, BMC Kaius, Fara F/Gravel, Enve MOG and more. Their geometry, aero bags, integrated cockpits…

    And what I would like bike designers and product owners to know and consider…

  22. Muchas gracias to instructors Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez for completing another successful year of bike maintenance and repair instruction at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center. The Youth Center's bike education programs were launched by Bicycling Monterey in 2012.

    Classes will resume in January 2024. bikemonterey.org/probation-dep

  23. #bike friends, apart from not being matching numbers anymore, any downside in mounting shimano type brake pads holder on late 90's /early 2000's #campagnolo rim brake caliper?

    I was just thinking of going that route because shimano compatible brake pads are much more ubiquitous and easy to source locally without having to order online.

  24. This mid drive combo motor + gearbox for ebike looks absolutely amazing.

    Already a huge ebike fan, but this sort of innovation is the sort of thing that stands to transition an e-bike from fun and great for people accustomed to, or willing to become accustomed to, all the little quirks about bike drive trains, from when to shift, to what oil to use on a chain [not WD-40?!], etc. to "just works"

  25. Heads up: Specialized has a software update for your Turbo #ebike with a new Charge Limit feature that caps battery charging at 80%. It's great for long-term battery health if you rarely use the full capacity on one ride. Check with your dealer. #biketech

  26. Incredibly complicated stuff for induction charging #Shimano #Di2 derailleur from another (e-bike?) battery. Do I need to patent myself the obvious thing: capture just a tiny fraction of the braking energy (easily hundred+ watts!) to continuously top off batteries of other components. I'm sure such an energy-siphoning capability could be inserted into a freehub or disc brake caliper as those components need very little energy.
