Zertz Again


Specialized has figured out how to make carbon parts even weaker. Put a big hole in the middle.

I was sprinting through busy downtown San Jose traffic with a guy a
fixed gear when my seatpost went "ka-RACK." Fixie kid laughed. I might
have said some naughty words.

Thank you for voting

Because you did vote for Glenowyn, didn't you? In thanks, here is a fresh bunch of busted carbon.







Faithful readers, I need you help


Faithful readers, I need you help. A friend of mine, Glenowyn Carlson is trying to win an entry into BC Bike Race, but she needs more votes. Please go vote for her. If she wins an entry, she promises to break some carbon during the race.

I have no words.

I'm back: Svein Tuft breaks aerobars during TT


I'm back, and I'm going to revive this blog. Sorry, life got in the way for the past many months.


He hit a bump in the road and cracked off one of his carbon aero bar extensions, and unfortunately it was the one with the controller for his rear derailleur attached.

With the bar dangling from the electric wire used to shift his Shimano Di2, and more tight turns, speed bumps and descents in the coming three kilometres, Tuft continued to plow ahead, much to the amazement of his directeur sportif, Steve Bauer.

Svein Tuft is my hero.
