Why do people talk shit about Sagan?
He is the most consistent rider in the world. The green jersey isn't about winning stages, it's about consistently picking up points.

>>69521322
obviously we all hope Quintana loses time, but I don't think he will this year. It's not going to catch anyone by surprise.
Wind up to 130km/h today on the ventoux.
Stage might be cancelled tomorrow if the Wind doesn't calm down...
>>69521319
Scrambled eggs and bacon with lots of tea
Apparently the top of Ventoux is due for 1000mph winds tomorrow, so stage may end at Chalet Reynard instead. So that's the final 5km or so may not be climbed.
>>69521459
Sounds excellent my dannebrog (y) <3

>>69521456
>>69521465
Nooooo, I love the Ventoux ;_;
>>when does the coverage start?
replaced my old alloy Easton stem and bar with a carbon fiber 3T stem and internally-routed bars, was a chore to do but it's complete and looks great, and obviously avoided at least a $100 fix that a mechanic wouls have charged. What upgrades are you all thinking about doing fàms?
>>69521573
They'll still do 15km of it, and now they'll have to attack on the harder gradients.
>>69521577
in 20 minutes. should see almost the whole stage.
>>69521577
Now I think, have the "le produceurs" given any reason as to why they don't have coverage from the start anymore
the cameras are showing the motorbikes speeding through, quite entertaining

It's a chinese rockbros copy. I put it in that hipster place on the steerer to see how it looked and the hex bolt that holds it in place stripped itself so it's staying there until I take the bars/stem off.
I did a 5 day tour around the Netherlands earlier in the year on my road bike before I bought the all-city. fixed a rack on with p-clips and it was fine. The all-city is really versatile though and i can just use my road bike for going fast.

Ya i remember see your bike (and the pet food) the other day. What do you use it for?
>inb4 riding
>>69522021
How does it ride? for the most part people here do not tend to rate Fuji bikes.
>>69522029
This bike looks comfy as fuck for bike trips and 100 k rides. The tires kinda fit with the look of the bike.
>>69522085
This a very pro/expensive looking bike! I've always thought that bying a carbon frame was a huge waste of money. Drop a kilo and you'll save yourself 1000 bucks.
I dont have a picture of my fixie, but this is my frame and it has high profile steel rims, a basic saddle and basic handlebars - http://www.londonbicycleworkshop.com/3146/products/token-track-drop-handlebar-chrome.aspx
>>69522136
>expensive
buy a used bike + you don't need something fancy if you're just starting out
>dangerous
every sport is to an extent, don't be a pussy
>caring what people think
this is what actually makes you a faggot
Rumor has it that the tinkoff team are ostracizing sagan because he skipped press engagements on the rest day........ is this true?
>>69522136
Move in for cars, you're only a faggot if you're in one of those cycling groups that think they own the road.
>>69522136
If you're /fit/ enough, do it. There are plenty budget options for road bikes and gear, especially if you look for older generation bikes and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty. As for the danger side, just google a bit around your area and look for what roads are less used and what not. Even riding in the city can be real safe if you're not like one of those morons cutting red lights and zigzagging traffic. Keep to the right side, follow traffic lights, and you can ride pretty damn safely. Also make sure you have night lights.
Also this reminds me. Lads, I need to know if I'm the strange one here, but cyclists blinking their back, and even fucking front lights piss me off to no end. Am I the only one? For front lights, of course, you can't see shit, but my biggest bone with back lights is that they piss me the fuck off whenever I ride behind someone with one.
>Dat forest fire
>france on fire
the fire rises
>>69522137
sleeping in full pajamas is perhaps the comfiest experience one can ever feel
>>69522201
Soccer: kit, ball, accessories: no more than $200
Tennis: racket, kit, shoes: no more than $200
Cycling: secondhand bike, helmet, kit, shoes, accessories (pump, lights, etc): at least $1,500 and that's for a mediocre set-up
>every sport is to an extent, don't be a pussy
Few sports offer as much opportunity to get as mangled as cycling
>this is what actually makes you a faggot
Until a fellow Amerifat gets so butthurt that they punt you off the road
blaze it
Who started the fire?
>Water planes all over
Shit's serious lads.
>>69522214
Uhh, I need a backlight or I'll get rammed up the arse by cars? Plus, they're mandatory in Australia and it'd be pretty shit to get a fine for something like that.
>>69522239

>>69522235
>1500 bucks
Are you mad? You can get a used older generation bike for 1-200 bucks easy. And they're still real good bikes.
>>69522235
If you buy a secondhand vintage road bike, you won't spend a fraction of that. Might require a bit of love, but you can Google how to do shit these days.
>>69522235
Lance wtf, they love cycling in your country.
>>69522254
I meant, keep the damn backlight always lit. There's no need to also blink it. I don't know, it just pisses me off when I ride behind someone with one.
holy fuck that comfy village

this. if you stay on your right (near the sidewalk) when riding then there's little to no risk
>>69522191
>what do you use it for ?
Riding
I go for comfy sportive rides in the afternoon,to exercise and have fun. I go into the mountains through regional roads. Its feels pretty good. I use strava to mark my rides and then share them on facebook and my female friends go insane because according to Strava,a 2 ride burns arround 1 300 kcal. It is a slow bike,tho. My fastest speed ins 56.6 km/h and it was on downhill. But i usually go uphill because its a mountanious island.
My bike computer marks i have 360 km on it,as you can see in the picture
Also
>that fire
>>69522299
WUZ
>>69521582
I put an arione on, went BACK to mountain bike pedals, and got a power meter as well.
For now my bike is "done". The upgrade I need to do is actually get out there and ride up grades. Motivation has been fleeting and winter doesn't help that one bit.
>>69522191
The frame/geo is what you'd expect from a track bike - twitchy, short wheelbase so a bit harsh over bumps. Hard to evaluate the ride since the wheelset is crap, that's my next upgrade. Replaced the brakes and stem out of preference, the freewheel that came with it was kill from the start though.
>most useful accessory coming thru
>>69522235
you can get decent used bike for less than $300 off craigslist. then cheap out on accessories and just upgrade one thing at a time as you can.
its not as cheap as other sports, but it doesn't have to be that expensive
>>69522235
>mangled
>punted off the road
thats why you live and ride in the suburbs and not in a fucking city
also if you're buying expensive bikes and shit to just commute to and from work you're doing it wrong, in fact commuting to work by a bike unless it's like a mile away from where you live is a stupid choice because you'll arrive all sweaty, gross, and smelly around your employees and clients for the rest of the day
>inb4 shower at work or a gym next door
im not going to subscribe to a gym near where i work just so i can shower like some homeless person and keeping a suit and business attire at work to change into is just fucking autistic
drive a car to work, ride on weekends or after you get home from work on weekdays
why don't they make bikes with a basket + pic related
why does it always have to be one or another
If you're a cycling enthusiast shit isn't cheap.
>>69522235
Dont be e a retard
Just buy the bike and the helmet
For lights dont ride at night,enjoy the long summer days. Buy cheap lights on ebay in winter
For the air pump go to the bus stration and fill your tyre there
Wear some random shirt,shorts and shoes.
>>69522324
>Mfw couldn't find something so simple and had to adapt mine on the middle part of the handlebar
It's a bit on the tall side, but it works.
>>69522344
>commuting to work makes you sweaty
Maybe if you're a neckbeard, working in my lowest zones I'll never sweat commuting unless I have a bag on my back.
>well I'd have a bag on my back

It's seen as lower class to use a bike or public transportation to work in the US, opposite of here, where taking a bike or bus shows a winner and a guy that's thinking about the enviroment and his health.
>>69522376
It wouldn't be comfy.
>>69522382
I thought that was like a 5 day race?
>>69522371
Yeah i have one too but never used it. I think it will take too long to fill the tyre. I have in case of emergencies. I dont think i even know how to use properly since it is an awkward pump
>>69522387
It's not 95F at 8 in the morning when you would be commuting and it doesn't matter if you sweat coming home, stop being silly.

>>69522365
Rack and panniers are the best shit ever. Topeak truck bag, just slides on and off.
>>69522347
You could always put one on a bike that comes with the other, or put both on. Touring bikes or adventure bikes very often have the mounting capability for both.
>>69522376
Cycling is a super eurocentric sport and there's really no space on the calendar for another race at the grand tour scale.
The Tour of California has been gaining profile in the last few years, but there's only so many places you can with just over a week.
>tfw no tour of new zealand
That place has the best fucking scenery, and sweet mountains to boot.

bit rude m8
>>69521762
what the fuck was his problem?
>>69522529
Seems pretty solid. Mine is pic related. Its arround 15 cm. But i dont really understand how it works. It seems to be on " reverse". To close the air i think i have to pull that black lever up,when it should be otherwise. It also seems to insert the air into the tyre when i'm pulling out the pulling part. It's really weird. I think i should buy a new one on ebay.
>>69522578
No, that is right. Mine has pretty much the same system, and you pull that thing up to lock it, then after you're done, push it back down.
Breaking:
Mads Mikkelsen is a huge cycling fan and he rides with Rolf Sorensen when he's in Denmark.
>>69522444
Yeah, but only for the scenery.
How big is cycling there anyway?
>>69522480
Better then fucking Tour of Oil Wheals.
>>69522423
I actually like ToC a lot. Specially when they rev up those temperatures. It's insane.
>>69522601
>>How big is cycling there anyway?
I don't think it's huge, overall. Christchurch has been making a concerted effort to be more cycling friendly after the quakes, which is nice.
But along with australia they're one of the few countries dumb enough to mandate helmet use.
>>69522614

>>69522653
I'm not necessarily anti-helmet, but casuals need every incentive to even think about riding bikes, and there are dozens of excuses people come up with; "muh hair" etc.
>>69522643
Would be fucking zooted already today playing that.
At least I don't remember hearing Rolf's Central Park story before.
>>69522659
I was going well on strava today lad, got 2 PRs on segments within a couple of miles of my house!
>>69522653
I'm not anti-helmet, m8. I use it every time I use my road bike, for safety reasons.
But it's fucking stupid to wear a helmet just for a casual ride in 99% of the situations.
>>69522667
Here you go, took two shots of my actual pump. Top is released and bottom is locked.
>>69522688
I live in a major city inhabited by third worlders who have no idea about traffic laws so I'm just paranoid.

Stage 9 in the Pyrenees was such a hard stage, everyone was just fucked. We hit that Category 2 climb [Côte de la Comella], and there was more gruppetto than normal. Fabian Cancellara [Trek-Segafredo] was there, it was his first time in the gruppetto at this Tour, and of course he wants to control it. He was telling everyone “just slow down,” and it was like, dude, we don’t have that much time. We have 37 minutes to get to the finish. We can’t slow down. Then he wants to speed up, and then he’s going too hard.
Then Matti Breschel [Cannondale-Drapac] comes up to him and told him “Slow down, you idiot, we don’t need to go this hard.” This is in the last 5km, and we had 20 minutes, so we knew we were good. And Cancellara still wants to be a hero on the front. Breschel just exploded, threw his bottle on the ground, then threw his glasses. I’ve never seen Breschel like that.

>>69522344
I commute on what most would say is an expensive bike. I've got a 12 km commute and the time difference between a bike and car is negligible. Obviously showering and changing clothes does take some extra time but it's totally worth it. You properly wake up on the ride to work and after showering you're all fresh and set for work.
As a bonus my employer pays extra money for those that commute on a bike. So not only do I save money on fuel I get paid, albeit practically nothing, for riding my bike.
>>69522714
Ha, yeah. Just left the zip tie there so I wouldn't lose it but it's easier to keep it in the bag. Besides, the only spot left on the bike is on the front fork which is an awkward place for a pump.
>pinot
>Pinot
>>69522749
>the only spot left on the bike is on the front fork
What do you use the other spots for? It must be a lot of things,for having them all busy

Mandatory helmet laws make people ride less. Which means less bikes on the road. The more cyclists there are the fewer people use cars and the ones that use cars are more used to cyclists. So more cyclists means cycling is safer for everyone.
I personally wear a helmet whenever I ride. I feel naked without one and use one for even casual riding around town. But if you or someone else wants to ride without one it doesn't matter to me.
>>69522780
Not really, only have one spot, and have the bottle there. For a second bottle, had to add a holder on top of the handlebar. Bit awkward, but it does the job.
>>69522749
i have mine on my seat tube with a bottle cage over the top of it >>69522029 The pump is on the other side in this pic so you can't see it too well but there's plenty of space to hold them on the same bosses.
>>69522807
No support on the seat tube, but didn't really consider putting it under the bottle holder either.
>there are cyclists in /tdf/ who don't carry CO2 pump and cartridges with them
>>69522749
You can actually put it under the down/seat tube bottle holder. Sometimes you might need longer screws.
That's what those holes are for, the pump will seat nicely on the side of the bottle.
>>69522862
For what purpose? Manual does it's job well enough.
>>69522862
I do. But I also use a mini pump on the back pocket of the jersey.
>>69522869
CO2 can get you almost 7 bar in 2 seconds.

Yeah, will try that, probably tomorrow since I'll be out on it.
>Mfw will lose most of the stage tomorrow though

Two seconds or 2 M I N U T E S is more or less the same for me m8.
Ain't happening, is it lads?

>using more oxygen than needed by the means of physical activity
>>69522894
Ah, the young... Do you use a road bike? You know how much force it takes to pump those to over 7 bar, so that you wont puncture again?
And doing this in the cold, rain while everybody is waiting for you in a bunch ride? I don't mind waiting for others tho, I just don't like to make them wait.

High winds forecast for ventoux tomorrow. They might shorten the stage.
Could be good news for quintana.
>>69522928
When I got a puncture on a group ride someone else used a cartridge for me.
finally some echelons
>>69522928
N-no, ain't on a road bike m8. On a cheap mountain bike I use around town.

Holy shit, wind must be a bitch today.
Is tomorrow a real mountain stage or a meme one?
>>69522978
Hoping for memes since I'll be missing most of it damn it.
>how can Froome lose this tour?
Build scenarios.
>>69522978
one of the most important stages in this year's tour
>>69522978
Meme
First 125km are flat, then two small hills, followed by a bit more descent/flat, and then finally an actual mountain, the Ventoux.
>>69522978
It will be a meme one, since they are probably shortening it.

>Beating the collective organic machine that is SKY.
No chance bro.
>>69522978
it's mont fucking ventoux m8
The stage is mostly flat until the end though
>>69522978
Ventoux tomorrow.
>can't park my car at the usual spot because of the tour
>>69522958
How do you figure that? They'd be cutting off the hardest part of the mountain.

This seems like the most realistic scenario for him to lose. I don't think Quintana has a chance to beat him.
>>69523006
I agree. I honestly can see a way he won't end up with more than 4min in Paris.
Unless...
