  • London-Paris is nice via Newhaven-Dieppe. Quite a long ferry so time to sleep. Bit hilly, but you know. No idea about the rest.

  • Ha, indeed. But there are different ports you can take ferries from (Nice, Marseilles, Toulon, Livorno, Savona).

  • My message wasn't clear at tall. I'll be taking trains to somewhere in France to catch a ferry (need to go through Paris because of Eurostar's backwards cycle policy). Just wondering if anyone's done the ferry with bike to Corsica thing before, and if so, has a bit more info than me. The prices are pretty much the same for each port, so I'll be choosing out of a hat, really.

  • Is there an even cheaper option for a campagnolo turbo trainer wheel than the khamsin?

  • Should I go back to uni cos its free even though I am proper old. Is 37 too old to do an LLB? I can still work in my current gig, I'll just have to shuggle client meetings etc and be more organised.

    If you want to, yes. Fuck the age shit.

    More education = better always.

  • Always study given the option.

  • What speed?

  • Is 37 too old to do an LLB?

    Nope.

    My brother finished his LLB aged 35 after years working in IT (originally with degrees in Psychology).

  • Fuck it.. you're all right. I should probably get on the blower. :)

  • How much riding to you want to do in total?

    Ferry from Portsmouth or Plymouth to Santander. Boost your tan on the boat. Ride Santander to Barcelona (about 700km via Zaragoza, more if you keep north for Pyrenees). Ferry to Porto Torres, then short ferry Porto Torres to Ajaccio.

    Avoids Eurostar and France on the way there.

  • Let's call that plan B.

  • nice to calvi, 4 hours fast boat, look at sncm and Corsica ferries website, walk on walk off with bike

    a great destination, spent a summer season there in 1998

  • In that case, how about Shimano wheel like RS11 and a Shimano cassette. It'll work on 11sp Campagnolo and probably work out cheaper. I think someone in Classifieds was struggling to shift a pair for £40 recently.

  • Is that right?! Good to know - I always thought there was no cross-pollination between campag/shim and it was the cassettes specifically that were the problem...

    If that is not the case them this is a much better route to go.

  • Well, it's not 100% compatible (more like 95%), but it'll work fine, as a turbo training wheelset, find an old worn-out Shimano rear wheel and fit a new cassette on it.

  • it's not 100% compatible (more like 95%)

    Where's the missing 5%? Everybody else seems to think that all 11-speed road cassettes have the same spacing and therefore work with all 11-speed road dérailleurs.

  • well I'm convinced!

    ... heads over to classifieds...

  • er, it is 100% to all intents and purposes - the nominal difference between the spacing is less than the manufacturing tolerances.

  • Mapping. Stabbings. London. There must be something out there right?

  • There is the crime stats map, but that shows all crimes, with limited filtering:

  • Would like to replace my worn BR
    Ultegra 6500 front brake with a BR Dura Ace 7700 but the pivot bolt is to short.

    Pivot bolt assemblies have different part numbers in the parts list with most obviously more spacers for Dura Ace.

    Anybody able to comment please whether the actual Ultegra bolt might be the same as the Dura Ace?

  • Longer nut may be an easier solution.
    Somebody like spa or sjs will have them

  • Somebody most definitely shortened the 36.00mm pivot bolt so it needs replacing.
