My 60-year-old father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer about six months ago. A recent scan has now shown that the cancer has spread to his lungs and adrenal gland. He has been told that he can be offered life-prolonging treatment, but not a cure. He has been offered chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Are there any positive stories of people who have lived a long time in a situation like this?"

Hi everyone,

I got my new a Trek Domane SL 7 Gen 5 (2027 model) yesterday with Bontrager Aeolus Pro 51 wheels.

My previous bike was quite a bit louder when it was just coasting, and I actually thought that was pretty nice. This one is completely silent, like totally silent. I've since read that there's a small upgrade you can do to get that familiar buzzing sound back

Does anyone know whether the wheels on the new Domane use a DT Swiss Ratchet EXP hub or the classic Star Ratchet system?

I'm considering a 54T ratchet upgrade and would like to order the correct kit before taking the hub apart.

I noticed on my previous post about the new Trek Domane that someone wrote that his SL7 came with:

"The 1x cassette is a 10-46, with a 44T front chainring. The highest gear ratio is 4.40:1."

I have just ordered my own Domane SL7 Gen 5, and the dealer says it will come with a 1x13 drivetrain, a 10-46 cassette, and a 48T front chainring.

Isn't it a bit strange that the same bike would be different in that way?

I don't know a lot about bikes, but what difference will it make for me if mine comes with a 48T front chainring instead of a 44T?

I hope my question makes sense.

Does anyone know what width tires the new Trek Domane SL7 Gen 5 comes with?

I was going to buy the Trek Domane SL 7 Gen 4, but I was told it has been discontinued and is sold out.

They said a new Domane model is coming soon. Does anyone know anything about it?

Road/Endurance bike with a high stack and short reach

Can anyone recommend a bike with a high stack and a short reach?

I currently ride a Scott Foil RC aero bike in size Medium (I've had a professional bike fit, and it really can't be improved any further), but I'm struggling with comfort on longer rides.

I have neck issues and pain at the front of the saddle, mainly because I end up putting too much weight on the front of the bike since I simply can't reach the handlebars properly.

I'm a woman, 176 cm tall, with an 85 cm inseam. I have long legs and a short torso.

I've tried a smaller frame size, but then the front end becomes too low for me.

I've also had a bike fit using one of those fitting machines, but it only tells me that I should fit a Medium in various bike models. In practice, however, when I actually get on those bikes, it just doesn't work. Maybe im not flexible enough.

Has anyone with similar proportions found a bike model that offers a higher stack and shorter reach and works well for long-distance comfort?
