My Sidis are 5 and 10 years old. Still going very strong.

I'm a long-term Sidi wearer and have been considering gironsjoes for a while. Might hold off for now.

Absolute black do a narrow wide cog

10-speed + narrow wide front and rear ftw

I'm getting pretty excited about this now. I'll be leaving 5 minutes early and making my way to Hillhead Primary before work to cast my vote. I plan on staying up to see the result but with around 50% of votes due in around 5:00am I don't know if I'll make it through.

Finally got round to replacing the watch i lost in Berlin. More than happy with it.

I lost my omega sea aster aqua terra quartz in Berlin in March this year. I got a £1750 voucher for ernest jones from the insurer and originally planned on buying a speedmaster. I'm now realising that I really don't have the extra ~£1200 to add to the voucher to buy the speedmaster full price. Does anyone have any suggestions of watches available through ernest jones around the budget of my voucher?

I'm going to have a look at the Bell & Ross Vintage series tomorrow.

What pedals are people using for CX these days? I haven't raced for two seasons and used Shimano PD-M520 pedals. I use these on my fixed gear and am building up a new CX bike currently. I've considered XTR pedals and ideally am on the lookout for M970s and not the current M980s as I've read they shed mud better.

Are there any others to consider? Crank Brothers look like thy shed mud well but that'd mean another pair of shoes (perhaps the plan anyway).

Wrong thread

After seeing the pic of the brake set I was going to ask what they were. Then I saw the price. Think I'll stick to Spyre SLCs on my project.

Good point. Yeah there is.

Can I join the cool gang now?

The brand is Albannach Bikes. Not much on the website, just a space holder, but there are some photos on the Facebook page.

A pal of mine designs titanium cross frames and as I've recently started a new job, I've got one on order. Really looking forward to this build. Here's the first piece of the puzzle.

No joy today. Both faults were following conditions where I got pretty flustered. Felt great on the way to the test centre but did a few silly things on test. Retest won't be for quite a while now do have a few lessons in the week leading up to it. Decided at the weekend not to get a bike straight away so it's not a major set back.

At the test centre for Mod 2. The ride was was my best ever. Hopeful.

Rutland. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to buy it just yet so this deal will likely evaporate before I get the chance.

The lemond falls under the budget but I'd rather not spend any more than £500 so the wahoo kickr and a few others are out.

Edit: just discovered the cycleops silencer at £350. Looks like it might fit the bill. Any reviews?

What do people recommend for turbo'ing with a cross bike? I plan on getting rid of my road bike to fund a shiny new cross bike as I don't see the point in having both any more. I've got an old Tacx magnetic turbo that a mate found in a skip but it's always been pretty terrible so I'll likely pass that on to someone else for free so my turbo options are wide open.

I like the idea of the LeMond trainer though hear it's very noisy.

Mod 1 passed this morning. No drama. One more lesson on Monday before mod 2 on Tuesday.

I watched a little bit of it from inside a pub off george square. Looked up at the sky when the Red Arrows came but couldn't see them. Then decided to sack it off.

Just out of interest - can any of you on recommend any other forums for this type of thing? I'm looking to expand my knowledge on joys of the other two wheeled type of transport. CBT minus 1 day for me now. Exciting times.

It really is exciting.

Would be pretty useful. I'm keen to go tubeless and videos always help.

First lesson on thing bike today and first time riding in the rain. Absolutely love the big bike. Out again tomorrow.

Just had another look at quotes and there's a 66% saving if I keep it in my parents' garage (15 minute drive/ride away) compared with on the street at my address. Surprisingly cheaper than my car insurance.

Living less than 3 miles away from work this definitely seems like the option I'll go for. Thanks for the advice.
