You can get cream for everything...

"My search of the medical literature and Medscape did not come up with any supportive evidence showing that the use of either topical or oral placental extracts were in any way beneficial to the skin." Try anusol. I saw it this morning in the supermarket. It must be good if it has anus in the name..

New fork on, front end much stiffer- Jankey James remarked that it was a huge improvement.

He performed this test with both feet on the floor- otherwise I'd have had to have got paramedics standing by.

That Hope Head Dr was a total no-go in the end, going to use a Cervelo bond in bung, I need a nice top-cap, anyone seen a particulaly nice example anywhere?

How much does he weigh?

good going, so now you're flogging those horrendously flabby force brakes are you replacing with something suitably feather light and fugly?

I can confirm nothing at this stage.

Surely? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fibre-headset-top-cap-alloy-bolt-5grams-UK-made-Chris-King-Cane-Creek-/150718724047?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item23178937cf#ht_502wt_1270

Surely? -

Got to be the Fibre Lyte !

That with the bond in bung. I shall make it so.

Just to add to the stem debate:

I chucked this stem on the scales when Ciaran popped over- it's 30g lighter than my carbon one.

.. all carbon stems are heavy - even the lightest high end ones are.

Edit for : AX Lightness stem at 70gram claimed weight but price wise that's way beyond my means!

This^ I don't get the point of carbon stems as Alloy is stiffer and lighter.

Neil where are you getting your bung bond done?

Probably in my kitchen.

what were the advantage of a carbon stem?

Road vibrations travel up the bike, through the fork and stem and handlebars into the rider's hands. Carbon fiber has great vibration-dampening properties, but In order to make the carbon strong enough to be a safe stem material, they overbuild it to add strength. This is why the highest quality alloy stems can be lighter and stronger than many carbon stems. Plus carbon stems look 'bling' which is great for the marketing department of a bike company.

I am using SRAM, which needs an inline adjuster for the front mech (the rear mech has an adjuster on the body of the mech as per usual).

This has been no problem in the past as I had inline adjusters at each downtube cable stop.

I switched to using Alligator iLink cables, and that has rendered the inline adjusters useless- the iLinks rotate before the adjusters screw in or out.

Has anyone encountered this and come up with an elegant solution?

Di2

Grind the bosses off and drill the frame?

I used Powercordz.

No stretch.

New bike time.

^or that

^^ So I'm not the only one who thinks like that...

I read in the instructions for the SRM their "how to" on drilling the frame in order to run the cables internally, it scared me then as well.

I would like Di2, but I don't like how much it costs. So- solutions to the current cable situation.

Dov- would Powercordz fit- I got the iLink mini for shift cable, which I thought is too narrow a diameter for cordz?
