Advice on disc covers

Ironman two months off and need some advice from the TS brain trust on stuff I know nothing about...like disc covers. Yes/no? Downsides? Best place to get them? Anywhere local? About all I know is they seem to work, are about 90 bucks from Wheelbuilders.com (way cheaper than disc wheels), almost as ...

Re: The Victoria Gran Fondo - Saturday June 25th.

I don’t have much to add to John and Alan’s fine reports except to say that the VGF goes on a very short list of the most memorable rides I’ve done. I can think of a few fellow TS’rs out there who really need to be in this ride next year. Beautiful, remote, and looong, it was nevertheless extremely ...

Munns Rd: watch for the gravel

Hi- just back from Highlands ride and seems there was some kind of oilspill there this morning. Road crews are out right now spreading gravel to mop it up but it's a bit of mess for an approx. 5 km stretch- from the top of that short steep hill after turning off Millstream to about Francis King Regi...

Bike fits by Barb

If you're considering a bike fit this season I'd highly recommend Barb Bialokoz. I've had two previous bike fits- both decent I thought but booked one with Barb last week b/c Lister mentioned here many moons ago a positive experience he had with Barb. Like any qualified fitter Barb has been certifie...

Re: Mt Hood adventure

Hey Dylan- I'm pretty sure our first meeting was on that mountain madness ride up to Shawnigan about a month back; you introduced yourself as "120 pounds of pure climbing machine" which I enjoyed immensely and left me chuckling to myself the rest of that looonng ride. And you put deed to w...

Re: Armstrong's full depostition in SCA lawsuit

Lister- Great story about Steve- thanks. You wrote: That's the crime of doping. If I ever got in the room with Conconi, I'd take a swing at him. That bastard was starting the epo era by doping Moser while he was heading the Italian anti-doping research group. What a complete hypocrite http://en.wiki...

Wanted: commuter bike for 16 year old daughter- any recs?

She's rowing so not into road/mtn bikes. Just a decent commuter (or even cross) bike. I'm ignorant- any recommendations from the incredibly knowledgeable TS'ers brain trust?
