This sounds too familiar, I have a friend with a torque wrench that was using to for undoing, and he put "8nm" in to his seatpost clamp and shattered his Canyon leaf spring seat post.... so I told him about his failings with the torque wrench for the umpteenth time ... and then he did again on another bike, and now only rides alu seatposts because he cant trust himself or his torque wrench to "put in 8" (which seems high anyway).
Back to Ride London - lots of inner tubes littering the roads, only one Cliff bar per rider(?), I didn't take a jacket, but then I needed to stop for the toilet 3 times because I wasn't sweating my usual amount. I was under the impression they set the waves off in order of predicted speed, but there were people in baggies on hybrid bikes in my wave...surely if they ordered it by predicted time there would be less accidents due to less over taking?
