> the tire is fine, the tube just exploded like cut with a knoife
> service cost me equivalent of tree inner tubes
> comfy.gif
> complete desaster averted
> never buying no name tubes with gel again
























































Really getting on my nerves seeing breaks like this where riders without a sprint will just work their asses off and throw away any chance of a win because secondary positions have too much value.





Tomorrow looks like the kind of pre-Tour TT that Pogi can actually job, but looking at the startlist, I'm not even sure who he can even job to. I guess it's Vacek or McNulty. 

Surely I'm not missing anyone...

berts are getting destroyed by storms left right and center and some of my colleagues are also facing death by weather but nothing reaches me, no weather kino for me. I could go for some storm entertainment right now











































Reporting in, already some kino, don't know how postable the vids will be

Looking forward to France 3 showing the weather before the tour coverage starts with 30+ degrees everywhere in France except Brest again.
On the other hand Breton and Basque flags that used to be ubiquitous at bike races have become a rare sight.

One of the greatest scripts ever. Such a good movie.

It's a bit crazy to think it was made filmed in 1942...US was still getting its shit pushed in in the Pacific Theater and Hitler had Western Europe on lockdown.

A bit of a nothingburger, was some kino but there was more rain than thunderstorm, it mostly dissipated by the time it came over and most of what was left passed my town to the north.
Of course didn't catch the coolest ones because this is just random pointing the phone at the sky and hoping you catch something before your arms go numb.

Let's look up the weather in Praha.
> Hot with sunny spells; an afternoon thunderstorm in a couple of spots; extreme heat can be dangerous for outdoor activities Hi: 33°
I'm sure Bertaczek is well prepared and won't suffer a heat stroke.

The riders are well into the 4th night, with the leader already having done 2370km /13600m of elevation. We now have a Austrian double-lead at the front, with Thomas MAUERHOFER having joined Philipp KAIDER to lead this years RAAM. "Only" 230km between them

collarbone anon here.
Very light new bone visable in between the 2 cm overlap. Doctor says i need to give it 3 (!) months more rest. I can cycle on a normal dutch bicycle but not racecycle during this time. Ofcourse i cannot do this this summer.







 >>/95715/
You have to understand, medical care to keep boomers alive until they are 120 is very expensive so everybody else gets sent home with a bandage and paracetamol. Now pay your fucking insurance and shut the fuck up


 >>/95718/
heh a colleague of mine had a pretty bad burn from a work accident and after some simple wound treatment they also sent him home with like a month of prescription pain killers and no other info.
Then he started feeling really sick after and the doctor was like yeah that's normal you have withdrawal from the pain meds. 
Now I now how the opiate crisis began

 >>/95719/
I can top that - my dad slipped in a hotel bathroom and cut his little finger on a piece of broken glass, went to the ER, they didn't bother to really look so they just desinfected and stitched it together. A week later he went to the Dr. to get the bandages changed, underneath was a completely black and rotten small finger - they had to do emergency amputation of a good chunk of his hand. After a 5 year legal battle, they gave him 25k as compensation. But he lost his job as a carpenter through it and had to stop cycling. fuck hospitals and their jew lawyers

See some err working class "people", those of the type that went gasterbeiting the moment Polska got to EU and it became clean, quiet and safe almost overnight, I see them getting back from work on their old rusty mtbs which give off more sounds than Brtek's canyon, and they just puff their cigs, puff after puff and a trail of fumes follows them.
Pair that with "music" for the working class "people" blaring out of a bluetooth speaker ziptied to the bar and alas, I am remembering all the German words I know as Wagner starts humming at the back of my head.

Heh, you could do home office here. Meanwhile the moment your train leaves a village in Bavaria all you have is edge/2G.







I need to make a dinner but I don't want to get up to just throw my juicy sirloin steak from Argentina on my still almost brand new airfryer mit grill.

Sure is looking like a good competition for sprint stages and the green at the Tour.

Sprinters gonna sprinter though, and so I expect them to go retarded on the first opportunity they have, wipe out and ruin the competition.

He didn't look so good in that French mickey mouse race. His performance in spring was quite good given his injuries so I thought he would have been really strong after some more training but he almost got worse.

It was about 35 degrees average, give or take.
As a heatlet, I wanted to take it easy, but I had really had no other choice.

The race started and Garmin was showing 45 (not a typo) degrees on the sun, after 3 km there was a downhill and I saw first chute brutale. A gentleman was laying on a kerb and he was clearly deceased. Onlookers were already giving him the last rites.
First 15 km were ok, first climb I rode at easy tempo (240 w) to see what happens but gradually the heat got to me and all the climbs I had to ride at 200 watts.

I was stopping at every water station (there were 4) and each stop I drank like 1 liter of water and poured another on me. Then for 5 minutes it was okay until it wasn't.

At some 70 km it started to rain a little and the race got down next to Moldau in a shadow, suddenly it was 25 degrees and me legs have awoken. Me and two guys were scoring big watts and overtook about 100 guys till the final alto that was again on a sun, but i think I still scored some good watts.

> In the French coastal town of Mimizan, a man died after being struck with a metal petanque ball during an argument. The 68-year-old victim was hit in the face and collapsed shortly afterwards. The man may have died of cardiac arrest. An 81-year-old man has been arrested for involvement in the incident.

> The argument reportedly arose from a conflict over 'territory'. A group of players who normally play on the beach wanted to move to a court in the city for shade. However, the situation completely spiraled out of control there.

> "There is great rivalry between beach players and city players," a witness told news agency AFP. "But I didn't think it would come to this."

> The 81-year-old suspect had been detained since Wednesday and has since been released on conditions. Among other things, he is not allowed to leave the country. During questioning, the man reportedly admitted to striking with the petanque ball, but stated that he did so in self-defense.

> The extent to which the blow, the resulting injury, and the eventual death are related will be determined by an autopsy. The results are expected early next week and should provide an answer to that question.

its definitely not cooling down as much compared to a couple days ago. I rode into some rain which was comfy while it happened but sucked for the 2nd half of the ride because apparently it had rained everywhere and that was when the sun started blasting
























> To illustrate this, he cites a specific example. “During the recent training camp in the Sierra Nevada, there is a climb where I tested myself last year. I managed to set a really good time there back then,” Pogacar indicates, without mentioning the name of the specific climb.

> I still remember thinking: wow, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go faster. This year, at the end of the training camp, just for fun, I decided to give it another try. In the end, I was clearly faster than last year. So yes, I would say I am stronger than in 2025. Certainly from a training perspective

Well it's only 25C here, so that helped.
Just saw it took me 30 minutes to fix that damn chain. Shameful. Didn't have a spare quick-link, so I had to gingerly extract and discard a half-link without pushing the pin all the way through, so I could push it back in. Nerve-racking stuff.









anyway, how do you fix you're chain en route?
hope to find the quicklink and put it back on? carry a spare?
carry a chain tool? honestly from me experience it only works the way out, can't imagine it working the way in




 >>/96263/
I have a ql with me but no chaintool so it's probably useless if it ever comes to that because the way I see it when a link snaps you gotta remove the not snapped side's pin at the very least. Actually gotta think of a solution, maybe a mini chaintool

 >>/96263/
Need a chain tool yeah. First order of business is to remove the bent/broken link. At that point, if you have a (spare) quicklink you can have simply popp that on and be on your way. Since I didn't (stupid), I had to be sneaky.
You're right that if you push the pin out, you're not getting it back in.
However, if you push it NEARLY out - enough out that you can separate the links - you can push the pin back in (having lost one link of length on you are chain). If it falls out, you're done for. Or rather, you can try again, sacrificing another link.
I use the chain tool from picrel - just the chain breaker part, I carry a different multitool due to autism. It's supposed to be mounted in the case thing, so using it on its own is extremely ergonomically unsound, but it works, just about, if you have the right hex key.

 >>/96273/
It would be important for it to be also easy to use, I can see those multitool ones technically working but practically being a bitch to use.

 >>/96274/
> However, if you push it NEARLY out - enough out that you can separate the links - you can push the pin back in
Heh, I have been using this trick to put a non-quick link chain back together when you also don't have another "double" link, that which you break off once it sits in the chain.
Can be done surely, high kurwa count to succeed in each attempt.




 >>/96277/
Cannot recommend. I was so nervous of pushing it through, I was pushing it tiny amounts, then checking if it was enough - tried about 6-7 times before it finally worked. I guess if you do this a lot you get a feel for how far to push it but I had no idea.



 >>/96281/
Surely yeah. Just need to get you back home. I carry china-sourced TPU tubes as spares on the same principle. Hasn't failed me yet.
 >>/96280/
I have no idea how you did that unless it's a novelty chocolate chain tool. Your bear strength is clearly not compatible with mere steel.

axelgaard short live analysis of Schweiz Rundt, I'm sure later today he will release a 10 page write up:
> Losers: Cararat, Tiberi, Roglic (nail in the coffin)
> Winners: Vacek (He was supposed to help Mads P most, but now he also shows that he is worth a lot to Ayuso and Skjelmose.)
> Pogacar: data was collected - 2 minutes on a 10k climb on Vacek is a silver lining for Jonas, team UAE was underwhelming 
> Vinggaard should not be intimidated by what he has seen this week.




































Barry is pronounced berry seems like.
I have a Harry in work and a few Belarussians.
Poor Harry is either called Gary (Belaruskies pronounce 'h' as 'g') or hairy when one chick overdoes the accent. 
Only I call him like he is a wizard.





Although cycling would very much like to have a corporate backing from all your State Farms, Geicos, some software company and have a Whopper commercial rolling every 15 minutes.













I had one of those extra event shifts were you never really have to do anything. From 6 to 2. They told me to make a træen ready at 9 so sure, then at 10 I get recalled to the yard because it is not necessary. Yeah no shit. And they tell me thanks and good evening which is code for go home because they can't outright tell you that. But going home 4 hours early was a bit much even for me so I watched the rest of that Lelgium game and then went home. I drove for like 5 minutes today, watched two matches and played Balatro. Why did I suffer so long at the /cyc/ office before doing this job



















Kek what, I've been busy with the christening of my son, then midsummer's eve shenanigans and time with relatives on the summer cottage. I come back home and see that I was second on Suisse velodrama thanks to GC Foss?? Oh man, what a week. I remember thinking after two days that this race was a total disaster thanks to Lenny.

I am still looking at other bike options than the Canyon Endurance some of our very Berts are very racist against. 
Needless to say, a surprising amount of other endurance bikes in this price range look like shit. Or just plain "plain". Of course. Like this Van Rysel. Boring, just like me current bike.
The spec roubaix doesn't look bad but of course it has that future shock nonsense which is auto DSQ.

one CHYNA brand I would like to throw into the mix for you is https://www.quickprousa.com/ they say their biggest sizes are for up to 2m people idk though you gotta compare geometry charts. Don't be fooled by the usa part they apparently ship globally from chyna, every bike is somewhat customizable with handlebar and stem size, a few wheel and crank/gearing choices. I don't know about shipping to yurop or prices for us. Just heard a lot of chatter about them on the internet



Bro just buy a bike, they're all the same. Buy whatever one has a good deal around you if you're worried about cost, otherwise just buy something you're excited about to encourage you to ride

oh my, trial is for attempted murder
> The hunting leaseholder’s anger may be related to the so-called “two-meter rule.” Baden-Württemberg is the only federal state in Germany that legally prohibits cycling on forest trails less than two meters wide. This rule has been enshrined in the State Forest Act since 1995, and even the new Green-CDU state government has no intention of changing it.

Nearly got cagied yesterday on me big ride. Just started his right turn with not a care in the world. Thankfully I had enough warning to see it coming - was riding at similar speed and saw him slowing down a bit, so I suspected he was about to Do It. Don't think he even put his indicator on. Had an open window so he could hear me yelling at least. Saw him slowing to a stop afterwards, dunno what he was planning.


 >>/96402/
Surprised they caught him tbh. Seems like it'd be extremely difficult to investigate, unless I guess he brought his phone innawoods in the middle of the night. Which is probably what he did. It's such a blessing that many psychos are also complete idiots.



















speaking of biketalk, need to add a gravel bike to my collection

not bothering with anything "new" (overpriced), preferably something with an interesting color, and no integrated handlebars - open to suggestions, price preferably under 3k

Was out to feed me feral cat frens the other day.
Haven't been there half a year or so.
It took this asshole just 3 minutes to notice and storm in. Still won't let me pet him, swats at my hand as soon as it is in swatting range.
Then another one came over, got him some sosidge as well, but watch how they are looking behind.
That's because soon a third cat arrived, from behind, the second cat I have fed did the quickest sprint while being as flat to the ground as possible I have ever seen.
Then my fren got beaten up a bit by the third bully but I hissed him out. Then the third has shown his face, truly battle scarred, eye not right, ears mangled, also mostly white so I couldn't really tell them apart at the beginning.

nice suggestions, thanks
i already own a standert myself as one of my roadbikes, wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't in a lovely blue color

i've ridden the Trek Boone already for a CX season, friend of mine was injured so i could borrow it, was really nice but probably a bit too unstable for gravelslop

i do know that canyonbikes come with a lot of proprietary slop, don't know enough about cube 2bh - Crux looks nice, hoping with this new gen coming out some prev ones are for sale

is colnago g3x-bert still posting here? might consider looking for one of those and running a gravel + road wheelset, interested to hear what it is like

the treeline is quite a bit higher than these mountains get (tallest is around 2700m), you can see there are some trees even on the peaks in those photos, they're only mostly treeless because they're solid rock and steep

some of the trees around here can grow up to 3350m or more






 >>/96520/
oh to take a train up into the mountains... it's pretty miserable to spend ~4 days in the mountains only seeing a handful of other hikers to then spend ~4-5 hours in the car on packed highways

it was fascinating when we were in New Zealand where the treeline was only 1500m in places, but still very dramatic
