Rouleur Live is the traditional last stop for the season in terms of bike shows. Every year in the ever-so-fashionable Spitalfields area of London current and former professionals from road and gravel congregate to give some talks, meet the public, and have a few drinks. At the same time, there’s also three rooms full of show bikes to ogle in between listening to Tom Pidcock answering questions on whether he is staying at Ineos for the thousandth time.Unlike shows like Eurobike where there is a lot of OEM parts and a lot of consumer-facing products, Rouleur Live is just stuffed…

Jack Dempsey never officially fought in Atlantic City. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t prepare for any of his big battles there. The fact is, he really liked the place. In 1921, the boxing world was anxiously awaiting what was expected to be the most lucrative fight in the sport’s history to date. This was the heavyweight championship fight between champion Dempsey and challenger Georges Carpentier, a Frenchman who, at that time, was recognized by the NYSAC (the all-powerful New York commission) as world light heavyweight titleholder.The fight had at one point been considered a possibility for Atlantic City; in…

The Sixers have eight games on the schedule before their next back-to-back, which should allow Embiid and George to develop continuity in…

Daniel Wiffen Dominates 1500 Free At BUCS Championships To Go Top Of The Rankings Daniel Wiffen enjoyed a 28-second victory in the 1500 free and Freya Colbert was a double winner on day one of the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) Championships (25m) in Sheffield.

It was also the fastest in the world this year, 4.51secs ahead…
Infrequently seen Chinese brand EXS, in the UK at least, had a stand at Rouleur live staffed by an incredibly effusive member of the team. In between waxing lyrical about the brand’s titanium axles for the Specialized Tarmac, its superlight stems, and its new integrated bar-stem combo, I was shown a fork that has the potential to allow a Specialized Aethos, or any round-tubed bike it was claimed, to run the hoses and cables inside the frame entirely.
