Any question answered...

I've got a 7.5kg carbon road bike from Planet X - a Nanolight - and they'd defo look awesome on it, but will it ride £450 (inc tyres) better than on alu rims and clinchers?

Bearing in mind I can just about manage evens over a flat 50 mile route, will I notice the c. 600g weight saving? Or the aero advantage? Or the way the tubs ride?

Half the price of the bike for wheels and tyres seems lots to me and I'm not exactly quick so am I wasting my hard earned?

Use the money on more bike trips, nice winter bike clothing, etc. - and most important good food stops on your rides.

shimano 7700 cassette on a 7900 hub ?
would that work ? spacers ?

It will work from 8 to 10 speed, less than that required the use of spacer (7 speed for example is pretty much the same spacing as 8 speed cassette with one less cog).

I thought you'd already need spacers when using 9sp on an 11sp hub.

7900 isn't 11 speed.

To whom should I report a poorly driven faux-ambulance?

Drivers very aggressive when he tried to cut into my lane in Kingston, when confronted by me, he chased me down, overtook several traffic and block me so he can have a word with me.

Is it one of those private ones or an NHS one? If private, I would imagine whatever the company runs them and if it's NHS then try this maybe?

it's private (as far as I can tell, it's just a white transit minivan with ambulance written on it) but the driver was wearing the full green ambulance outfit.

You should've smacked his bonnet, Ed...

Hmm. That's probably not such a hot thing to do.

Can you recommend a new short sleeve jersey? I've only got £60 to spend, don't really like the look of most cycling jerseys with naff designs and flashes etc. Black has gotta be the way to go...

Yeah, he gave me a slap before he drove off, reported to the police, whom isn't interested in it, best to contact the organisation directly.

He actually hit you?
If so and you told the police this then you should be making a complaint to them as well. That 2nd pic certainly looks like he is taking a swipe at you

Yeah. How can they not follow up an assault?

I'd be reporting that again, you can't go around slapping people, even if they are Ed.

Rapha from the forum?

I've bought 2 nice club jersies here, both for sub £40 and both barely used.

The second photo is when he gave me a slap, missed my face but knocked the phone off me.

I deserve it I guess.

Start an 'I just crashed into an ambo' thread.

Attempted assault, property damage, driving without due care and attention, causing an obstruction on the highway, probably a FPN-eligible no-stopping offence for where he actually stopped...

REPORT HIM!!!

I've done so at the local cop shop with a very disinterested officer, will go back to the cop shop again and speak to the officer about the other violation you've mentioned, thank.

Police station manager bigwig type, local MP, IPCC...
