Forgot to post this up after buying it..

Have now completed stages 1,2 & 3 at Lee Valley....booking up stage 4 then onto the SQT's !

Ah, I did the level 3 at the same time as you. Annoyingly the coach failed me for literally no reason. Nice Serotta, I think you need a slightly longer stem or to move your saddle back slightly as your arms were pointing almost straight down.

No way...were you in the first group ? Did he give any indication at all ?

My feedback was: If you were being picky what would you say were the problems you had...I mentioned about the speed variables at the start and bunching people up behind me.

Apart from that he said good luck in the stage 4 and off you go....nothing else.

The saddle position is a major PIA, not that its hurts or anything its just a 2 bolt adjustment and I find it incredibly difficult to adjust. Will have a fiddle, I have no idea what my optimum position is, so as long as it does not hurt I have just got on with it !

Hi again ! Small update for my 650c, and a big one should come soon for the CSI

Yeah, @tommmmmmm and I were in the first group. To be honest I think that coach is just a bit shit, I don't think he could remember what I looked like.

Is it the seatpost where one of the bolts uses a 10mm spanner on top? If so, you've got to use a tiny ratchet spanner otherwise it's awful to try and adjust.

@tommmmmmm & @Sumo get a pink bike, the instructors don't tend to forget you....

Yes thats the one, one bolt is set right back so I setup that one blind and then torqued the 2nd bolt and hoped it was level and in the right place..okay, tiny ratchet spanner, will have a look out

The coach told me it looked like my gear was too big and recommended trying again with a lower gear.

I did the session on a hire bike.

D'oh.

Oh yeah, and your bike looked great in the flesh. What a head turner!

Thank you,

Ha what a plum, I can't quite believe they could say that.

Took of the mudguards, put on these wheels and glad I didn't sell it!
