Question Of The Week
Do You Do a Special Ride in Honor of Your Birthday?
Have You Considered Shorter Crankarms? (See this week’s Tech Talk)
Sure. From what I have read, the benefits to going shorter seem obvious.
15%
Yes. It seems like a good idea, but I had never considered the issue before.
9%
Maybe. I have read both pros and cons, and the jury is still out for me.
23%
No. Even if I wanted to, I cannot justify the cost of new crankarms on a whim.
26%
Absolutely not. I have ridden this length crankarm forever and had no issues.

Did You Think Alberto Contador Would be Banned?
Absolutely. His tainted beef excuse seemed ridiculous from the beginning.
23%
Yes. The UCI and WADA have to stick to their guns about penalties for positive tests.
17%
Maybe. This seemed like it could go either way. It is an embarrassment, no matter what.
37%
No. I thought evidence of clenbuterol contamination in other countries might help his case.
17%
No way. I thought the grand tours would exert immense pressure not to be tainted again.

Have You Ever Had a Professional Bike Fitting?
Of course. Several times. It is the best (really, the only) way to get the bike to properly fit the rider.
12%
Yes. Any time I buy a new bike or change major components, I get fit on that bike.
23%
I have had a couple of fittings over the years. Few and far between, though.
40%
No. I am just not convinced that it is worth the money for a fitting. My bike fits fine.
19%
No way. I would rather do my own fitting and think I can do just as good a job anyway.
