Randoms Round 3 - Sea Otter 2023
@TEAM-ROBOT: I don’t know if having a slightly larger hole in a carbon rim would really be a problem, if it was drilled properly, with a jig/fixture like the manufacturer would have. Some people might be able to do it at home with a cordless drill, but I could also see the drill bit grabbing weird and causing damage.

Aren’t the valve holes in carbon rims drilled (not molded), like the spoke holes? The ones in my WAO rims sure look drilled. Not suggesting people should start DIY drilling carbon rims, but seems like a super simple change for rim manufacturers if things would switch to Schrader.

Review: Vittoria's 50g Air-Liner Light Promises Run-Flat Protection For XC & Trail
My experience as well. Cush Core XC didn’t really help at all, but Pro has been very beneficial.

Bike Check: Comparing Jack Moir, Kasper Woolley & Christian Textor's New YT Capra Race Bikes
@johannensc: 31.8 Lite used to be 740, but now all Lite bars are 760. Changed a couple years ago I think.

I know they were just released, but has anyone tried the Wolftooth pedals yet? I’d be curious to hear any first impressions.

I went through the same thing. I didn’t notice any difference in the feel going from 175 to 170, and enjoy the extra clearance. I tried 165, but it affected my cadence enough that I just didn’t prefer them. Maybe it was because I had gotten really used to 170, but I think there is something with the diameter of the circle created by your cranks, and not just the difference in leverage, just like you mentioned. For every 5mm change in crank, you are spinning a 10mm smaller circle.
