That’s interesting to know, will investigate, thanks.

Pretty sure it’s build on a concrete base.

Easy to do when building a property I guess, not so easy when you have to rip plasterboard out of every single wall to fit the mineral wool :0(

Yep, defo cavity. Really don't like the sound of foam spraying tho :0(

Sorry, I have UTFS but it's not thrown up much.

We live in a townhouse, built about 25 years ago. The house is extremely cold, every morning throughout winter when you come down the stairs to the kitchen on the ground floor, it feels like someone has left the door open all night. Even now after a couple of cold days it's Oodie time. And the middle and upper floors aren't much better. Every wall in the house is freezing cold to touch.

A couple of years ago the hot water expansion tank in the airing cupboard on the top floor failed, filled up with water and ripped itself off the wall, bring a chunk of plasterboard with it. Looking through, I could see the outer brickwork, no insulation present whatsoever. It really makes me wonder if the house is even insulated on the lower levels.

Loft is fully boarded with lots of insulation under the panels.

I've read about spray foam insulation but it doesn't sound like the greatest idea when it comes to moisture management. Doesn't anyone do spray mineral wool spray any more??

Good luck Ryan.

If they reuse Tullet's Turret at Somerhill you'll probably want more gears.

Which also sounds the case at Canada Heights, also I've personally not raced there.

Didn't take me long :oD

There's a guy on the TT forum who sells Hirame (or Hirame style heads). I'll try to find him.

Personally I wouldn't worry about the crack, but yes, something to stop it spreading will never hurt. You'll probably find half the field will have similar on their discs.

I've replaced the 16T on my 6 speed with a 17T, same chain length, no issues.

That website is hosted in @andyp 's head

Looks great!

That is amazing (obviously showing my age here). Is that a club kit or something available to buy?

my phone wouldn't make calls - although I could get roaming internet from the French mobile networks, but only a weak signal

Kinda sums up Kent.

Nice report tho :0)

Nef might want to look where he's going tho ;)

Well played Nef. Good ride and report.

Pretty certain that’s the junction that Jeremy Vine (love him or hate him) had an issue a couple of months ago. I’ve certainly had my fair share of incidents there, plus Rivercourt Road to the east.

If people do wait, I try to give thanks but not always easy.

May I suggest a change to this course?

When you come down Clarks Lane after turning onto it from Beddlestead, you’ve plotted a right turn to drop down to the Pilgrims Way. This is on a short sharp descent, and the right turn is partially blind, so a bit dangerous. Easier to just stay on the downhill on Clarks, then turn left onto Pilgrims Way a few hundred yards later. That left turn is fairly sharp btw but has an inviting look about it. Be warned!

Good read that. It’s defo not a placebo effect. Less frontal area pushing through the air will generally always mean a speed increase. Ride with a HR and a PM, sit up and keep the same speed, you will instantly see an increase in power and a rise in HR.

Just caught up with this. Well done @Nef, you beat my first ever 25 time by 3 minutes. And seven years after setting that I ended up being able to do a short 56.

Wouldn't be able to do that these days though, maybe a short 1hr56 !!

Speak for yourself, Andrew.

Gawd I think I’d better go out the back and shoot myself, I’d have to use my left hand mind.

It would be like someone else doing it though, surely.

I also have both if the others above don’t work out. Am out in Kent ME19 but just a handful of minutes off jct 4 of the M20. Also commute into Victoria a couple of times a week, passing through at 7:40am and 6:15pm.

Just spotted on Facebook, how to make your bike look pengy in two easy steps.

I really hope he didn’t ride it like this!

I do miss the ITV Vuelta highlights. The music and Gary Imlach’s broom cupboard mainly.

I'm slightly worried that I'll be very disappointing (in the eyes of those in this thread)

Don’t be. Anyone who TTs is alright in my book, wherever it takes them 1hr15 or 47mins for a 25.
