Is anyone running a 1x11 on a roadini? Thinking of building one for some centuries and/or light rando rides. Wondering if anyone has done this and has any tips. Yes, I know, compact doubles and/or 2x is kind of standard. Let me live my life people!  Thanks ahead of time — Rg Sent from my

Got the new MUSA pants yesterday. For reference, I am 6"2, 220ish pounds, stocky build and the Large's fit fantastic. Yes they are more snug than past iterations, but that guarantees I will basically live in them. Super comfy out of the box, they go with everything and haven't "slipped" down my

My two cents -- they fit exactly like stretchy dickies. I am 6'2, 220 (36/32 pants) and fairly stocky/broad (played rugby for a long time) and the larges are just tight enough to not be obviously 'riding' pants. They fit really, really well. So well, that I -- a person who rarely wears bike-stuff
