Good show guys. Patrick may have a road wheelset problem. Robot may have a “why the heck are you STILL running tubes” problem.
I might have a fast problem. Which leads to my question: Why do I care about going faster? I am 53 and have never been fast. I like riding gravel at 14-15 mph for 60 miles. I love my “endurance” road bike. And yet. I am test riding an aluminum Specialized Allez Monday to see if I can keep up with the fast kids on the group ride.
Why? Why do we care about fast? I entrust this question to my favorite cyclo-philosophers at the Cycling Independent.
