I deliberately didn't bother to watch it because it's a stupid click bate title and a ridiculous premise. Like Ben stated they're both great bikes, but quite different. My custom Terafrerrma is nothing like my Masi, or my Homer or Atlantis. If I'm going on a long fastish ride but want my camera

You're on the right track with the RBW52, 20 lbs. including a dog moving around needs maximum support. It's a big chunk of cash new but unfortunately there aren't many out there and the people who have them don't seem to be selling. Good luck! On Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 1:01:05 PM UTC-8

Right on, thanks for the input Justin. I like the profile of the Mark's Rack, problem is I need to be able to support 20+lbs which leaves me with a rack larger than I really want. Maybe switching it up with the longer struts like you mentioned could put me on the right track? I always

Coming in late on this thread. Clipping in will make your feet colder as the cleat is a heat sink. Even if you clip in normally, going to platforms in winter is a thought. If it's just cold but not too windy, thick wool socks in sandals does keep feet warm and allows moisture to wick away. I

[RBW] Re: The joy of winter riding, and how do you keep your toes warm?

In our winter here we are often riding in the morning in temperatures a few degrees below zero (Celcius) - say low 20s Fahrenheit. As I use MTB pedals, I wear Shimano MW7 winter boots - they're not cheap, but they do a good job of keeping my feet warm when out on rides of two or three hours in
