Cheers for the tips but they are definitely too small. I've had their mitts previously which I bought tight and they will stretched to a perfect fit but these are too small. I've tried my friends mediums which are still snug but should stretch nicely.

Any offers before they go ebay?

I've got a pair of Black Rapha Leather Town Gloves for sale in size Small.
They've been worn once off the bike - never on, I waited for the weather to cool before wearing them. They are just a little too small for me to be comfortable though. They were a gift, I don't have any of the original packaging and I've cut off the label indicating the size inside the cuff which I do on everything without thinking so I can't return them.
They are really nice, I thought about trying to stretch them but the chances of ruining them are pretty high. So it's probably best to move them a more suitable home. One of the fasteners has a slight mark, possibly from the bottom of the drawer, I only noticed thanks to the high-res images.RRP is £160, obviously I'd like close to that to go towards a new pair. Say £80 but I'll entertain reasonable offers.
I'm no longer in London so + £5 for insured & signed for delivery.

Old thread resurrection but it's time to start prepping the winter hack for the darker days ahead. I ran TRP Spyre all last winter and was very pleased with them. The front brakes were and still are great but the rear was always a little 'spongy'. It's a full run of cable housing from levers to calipers. Initially I had SRAM outers which I replaced with Shimano but no noticeable change. I've seen Jagwire and Gore mentioned here, anyone have any recommendations of one over the other? Or another alternative?

The Stages left x2 power measurement got me thinking about how accurate it would be for me - I've got some nerve issues with my left leg. My PM has been recording the left/right balance for a while but I've never actually analysed the data so I trawled through it all to see.
It was a bit of an eye opener, if I had started out with a Stages unit I'd have burned all my bikes by now! Turns out that generally my balance is 43/57 but the longer the ride the worse the balance, after 3+ hours it can get worse than 40/60. I'm aware that I have an issue so it's not all that surprising for the longer rides but 2*20 intervals when I don't perceive any problems, it's still generally about 46/54.
My maths are probably wrong but for me that's the difference between devices calculating my FTP at 295w and 270w in the best case scenarios. Thought this might be useful info for those in the market for a PM.

How long does it take to finish "updating mean maximal power curve" when you add a file?
FOREVER! I've taken to grouping each year as a different athlete to both preserve my little patience and to prevent spontaneous combustion of my laptop. Supposedly the new version which will be released in 2019 will process data more efficiently...
Maybe I should get a faster laptop instead of spending on more cycle related kit?I have a P2M and almost 2 years in it's been flawless. The replacement deal they have turned into a godsend, the unit got smashed by BA coming back from France a few months ago. Insurance claim aside, as far as I'm aware I'd have to fork out full price for a replacement from all the alternatives instead of 50% for a new P2M unit.

PM re ultegra mech
I have a carbon alloy rim for sale. Wanted 20h but 24h received so I have no use for it. I've got a few on others built up, makes a solid training / Winter wheel for when you don't want to ruin the good ones. This is a Chinese Homage to Mavic, not to be mistaken for the real deal.
Looking to get back my investment which was £103 but will settle for an even £100.
Located in Reading but travel along the Bristol to Paddington train line regularly and can arrange a meet anywhere along the route. Alternatively postage could be arranged at cost.
Forum donation on completion OBVs.
Cheers.
