Incompetent mechanic forgot to set low limit screw properly most likely.

Something went wrong when he tried to switch back to the big ring up front and it doesn't change gears. The mechanic comes to help trying to get him going without the need to change bikes because TT. Rear mech hits the spokes and gets BTFOd.

Apparently the chain slipped when he went to shift into the big ring, and when he went to repair it, he broke the rear derailer. The new Campy mechanical front derailer is a bit of a pain in the ass to set up, but even so, Astana must have some of the most incompetent mechanics on the planet if they fucked it up so that the chain could drop when going small to big.

what a faggot
>>
>>959602
It wasn't. The chain was pulling it back and the hanger snapped. Propably a seized pulley bearing.
>>
It doesn't look like it caught the spokes, rather the chain was dragging. I would guess it wasn't a problem with the chain because it wouldn't keep catching, perhaps something up with the cage and/or pulley. Maybe the tension screw thing (B screw I think it's called) was misadjusted putting the upper pulley too close to the cassette, don't know if that could cause that sort of problem.

Funny to watch, but I feel a little bad for the guy losing out because of someone else's fuck up (if it was indeed caused by his mechanic).

Wait, what? Can you describe this in more details?

I know reddit hates luxottica because special snowflake syndrome, but other than the fact that all those popular brands are made in the same factory, I never got the hate boner everyone has for them

Then again I literally work around the corner from a special snowflake underground indie optician and wear frames you've never heard of, so maybe it's just a matter of not feeling the oppression that some might feel if all they have access to is luxottica products

>buying anything that isn't bike parts, cars meant to be driven, food, or clothes from Italy
There's your mistake senpai. Italians know their food, clothes, cars, and bikes well. And they can also make beautiful things out of all four of them. However they also know it when they make something good and put a proper price tag on it. If you want Italian quality you gotta pay up, but when you do you get something that's stunning and works perfectly for what it's designed for. But this only applies to the four mentioned categories, that is because Italians are passionate about those things.

No one forces you to buy an expensive Pinarello, Colnago or Cinelli yet you're complaining here how others buy them. That makes you sound like a butthurt poorfag that can't afford one. No one realistic expects to get top of the line race tires when they buy the cheapest shit the company produces, not even if their top of the line tire was the best you could buy. Also I don't get why everyone hates luxxotica, they make good quality frames, some of which I've used for years and are still like new. And I've never had to pay anywhere near full price on frames when buying glasses.

I'll agree that they can't make trains for shit but that doesn't fall under the listed four categories. And if you buy anything that doesn't belong to those four categories from Italy you've only got yourself to blame. Also if you buy cheap shit from Italy you've only got yourself to blame, even if it belongs to the four categories they know how to do. Their cheap shit isn't magically any better from any other cheap shit yet people somehow expect it to be better because it's Italian. Wake the fuck up to the real world. If others can't produce good quality products for that price it's highly unlikely that the Italians are going to sell something good for that price.

Graphene was never supposed to decrease rolling resistance. It's supposed to increase the grip of a low rolling resistance rubber, and decrease wear.

One of the ways people justify Contis is they're hard wearing and that makes up for higher cost. It may very well be the case with these as well.
>>
>>960589
what happened here? it looks as if the front wheel just stopped.
>>
>>960607
White strip was probably wet which gives it about 0% grip so that even the slightest tilt as in the video can cause the wheel to slip.
>>
>>960422

Not who you asked, but they abuse the monopoly they have on the market and drived the price of all eyewear through the fucking roof. They have margins upwards of 200%
>>
>>960617
I have difficulty believing that the profit margin for a company that has its fingers in every pie is the same across all segments and at all levels

I think you are pulling numbers out of your ass
>>
>>960618
Well of course im pulling numbers out of my ass, im not going to conduct market research for a quick clarification post, but the fact that they have a near monopoly on fashion and prescription eyewear, and the fact that they use said monopoly to assrape prices still stands.
>>
>>960620
>>960617
Except no one pays the list price on prescription eyewear. The fact that there are no serious competitors just proves that they don't assrape the prices on prescription eyewear. Yes there are some online shops but they're not much cheaper once you need higher quality/thinner glasses.

Sunglasses and fashion accessories are different and they can charge what they're charging because people buy those things for the brand, not because they need them.
>>
>>960620
No one is forced to buy luxottica products. But this isn't about choice, is it? It's about wanting a hand made in the first world, fashionable, good looking pair of glasses for a song and dance.

If you weren't so damm cheap you'd know there's a ton of choice at the mid to high level (about $375 and up for the empty frames, before lenses). There always has been. The people I see whining about luxottica aren't into that though. Deep down they aren't after Anne et Valentin or Gotti or whatever. Because that stuff costs as much as if not more than luxottica. They genuinely do want Oliver Peoples and Prada, just for $100 for the complete pair, prescription lenses included. And if they can't have that, it's a conspiracy.

Now post about how you're not a zenni astroturfer, just a satisfied customer.

>>
>>961482
it does count but there are two things

1. it's a flat stage, so the chances of making the time up are negligible.

2. it's tradition not to attack the race leader on the final stage of a GT, however I think once in the past, when there was close finish in the tour, a GC rider attacked on the final day, and also there have been final day TT's as well, so it's not absolute, but is almost certainly to be observed tomorrow.

In the past there have been time trials on the final day, which has been decisive in the past, see 1989 TDF for the ur-example.

Since then they've decided the last stage will be purely for the sprinters or a non-gc breakaway (as we saw in last year's giro), for the GC guys it's just a procession.

The stage is short and mostly taken easy, so if anyone in GC contention actually tried to get away there is no doubt the leading team and probably the rest of the peloton would merciless chase them down.

When compared to the premium brands...yes.

Keep in mind very very few people own dura ace.

When did I say that? In fact, I was going to say that more people than you probably think own Ultegra and Dura Ace.

>>
>>961995
>what makes them premium?
They aim for the higher end market. Shimano and Microshift have the cheap stuff. SRAM and Campagnolo product lines start at the middle range market. There is no Campagnolo/SRAM equivalent to the non-group stemshifter/Tourney/Claris/Sora crap that Shimano sells, and Microshift tries to better.
(Though I'd bet Microshift would have a better reputation if they reimaged and charged two or three times more for the same product. At least on the western market.)
>>
>>962000
SRAM makes some pretty shitty stuff like X3. But anyway, just because Shimano covers more of the market doesn't mean that their highest end groups aren't as good as the other brands.
>>
>>961892
I don't think that they've changed all that much. Today's electronic shifting groupsets aren't a great deal different than Zap, although they use electric motors to shift, which I suppose increases reliability and speed at the cost of requiring more battery power. etap may have fixed some of the issues that Mektronic had, though. At least, it doesn't fuck up when you pass a radar gun or take anywhere from .5s to 2s to shift. But it has shit battery life and questionable reliability.

The big innovation in disc brakes over the last four decades is that weight has been brought way down. It's really cool, but we're still talking incremental improvements.

What I'd like to see is research into shit like ABS and traction control and even stability control, which is where having a KERS system would come in handy.

I see where you're coming from, but I still think that those areas mentioned have seen pretty sizable improvements. Disc brake mounting standards have changed, hoses are stiffer and better quality, heat shedding is better by leaps and bounds, the ease bleeding has much improved.

>>
>>961487
The contact of the tire to the road is a result of static friction m8. The tiny pore spaces of the road grip with the rubber making a static friction interface. If all the pore spaces are filled with water, which is a lubricant, the ability to maintain that friction is drastically reduced. It's quite obvious.

Also the wheel stopping its rotation isn't instantaneous- that's impossible. The change in angle of the wheel and the vector of the mass of the bike/rider change over time, with the loss of friction cause the wheel to stop turning from that moment.

Why is that bad? Is he supposed to wait or something? Am I missing something here?
>>
>>964774
There's nothing illegal about it, but most riders consider it proper etiquette not to attack your rival if he's having a mechanical issue. I don't agree with it though, a race is a race.

My dad actually is gay, so while that's not entirely out of the question, he is also nearly 80 years old so, I guess, more power to him for bagging a little millennial twink like you.

HOLY SHIT DUDE, CAMPAGNOLO SKEWERS ARE SOOOOO NICE. THEY LIKE EVEN STAMPED "CAMPAGNOLO" AND "OPEN" AND "CLOSE" ON THEM.
>>
>>964199
I'm not some Campy shill like sieg, but I never understood this weird wariness some people have about campy. They think it's like finicky and hard to work on for some reason. I've known guys who own campy but don't work on their own bikes say stuff like, "yeah I need to get my buddy to work on my bike soon. he has campy too and he knows how to work on it"

There's a right way and wrong ways to set up bike components, there are no secret mysteries to setting up any of the different manufacturers' components.
>>
>>964831
probably because the kind of people who buy campy don't actually know too much about bikes and just bought campy because "it's the best"
>>
I have a campy record bottom bracket on my steel bike ayy lmao

>>964831
Because Sycros was worse than SIS, and rear derailer adjustment is different than Shimano.

It's basically the largest faux pas a cyclist can make in a race, especially in something like the TdF.

Riders who do that are seen as bags of shit.
>>
>>964842
>faux pas
It's not a faux pas. It's just rude and unsportsmanlike.

Some sportsman have a reputation for being underhanded and doing anything it takes to win. This isn't a faux pas, it's just their character. The drawback is you're seen as a bit of an asshole, which can be a good or a bad thing, and treated like an asshole.
>>
>>964831
Dunno. I've never had a problem with doing any work on my campy parts. Or shimano desu. I've noticed campy seems to be harder to initially adjust but holds the adjustments better over time. They both have their pros and cons though. I just happen to prefer campy because or their hood ergonomics.

I'll admit that the average campy rider I see buys it because it's Italian, and has carbon and heritage while their mechanical ability is limited to replacing a tube. But there's nothing wrong in that. Most of them are really happy with their bike and have the money to take it to the LBS for any work that needs to be done.

I'm partly convinced that some of the campy is hard to work with hate comes from people being jealous about not having campy parts and trying to rationalize not having campy by thinking it's unreliable because Italian.

Goddammit. Can't listen to that. If you are a sposored and extremely competetive racer; sure, obsess about the bike. Otherwise:

What exactly do you think faux pas means?

noun, plural: a slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct; an embarrassing social blunder or indiscretion.

>>968384
No, i can't listen to that for 35 minutes. The cadence of his voice is horrible and the recording quality is pretty bad.

Someone summarize it in text form, please?

Pleb. I'd put my money on Sagan any day.

One of those things is not like the other. There is literally nothing wrong with taking advantage of a mechanical failure of a competitor (provided it is not caused by external forces).

>>964842
I'd say attacking during a feed zone or a piss break would be worse. The justification for withholding in those instances is stronger in any case.

So, if Campagnolo came out with a 1x gruppo, would you be excited?

It ain't the rider, it's the components we're having a go at.

Packed snow will give you just as bad of a road rash as tarmac. It's about as hard also.
