I have never met you, but if it really is hilly around you then I can pretty much guarantee you don't need a gear bigger than an ~80inches, I believe that is an acceptable gear for outdoor tracks, not hills. You may be pushing harder on the pedals but you might be going quite a bit slower. Chapeau though.

I only notice the difference on release. Clipping in is like having the adjuster screw turned quite far down, press hard, pop, in.

On release there was a "middle ground" not in or out with a spring, but these don't, more like a switch.

Only used on the turbo so far :(

Epic bumb, well conclusion as I remembered I posted this in the first place.

LOOK are fantastic, it took so long because I was at uni so couldn't get the pedals to the shop and then couldn't collect the new ones once they ha arrived. The shop just said they had the replaced ones in and I forgot to ask were they at least any version of Keo2Max, well this is what the froggies sent me last month - Good things come to those ho wait:

The price tag reads £249.95, might not use them in crits...

Girl with like 2 buns in her hair white cap and helmet riding a red steel Colnago that looked very new with some of the new shapes Campag shifters on, oh and white Sidi's ... Erm marry me? (Might have to get rid of the Sram calipers though :p)

And whilst I'm here, AndyP, saw you were at HH CX, next time I go to one I'll look out for you and shout. It will defo not be "rider through" though as I was crap haha

Thanks for that.
Yea I don't like the grip cleats, they just grip the pedal when trying to clip in, I have 1 set of old cleats thats getting saved for the summer, hard to find now somehow.

The bike has been made as heavy as possible ... so that whilst training with people on R3's I will get fitter quicker. Therefore i want the 2 grams back!

(And I don't fancy riding on the bearings)

Hewitt Cycles - not a bad word to say.

Thanks Tiles, there is a high chance the receipt is in the box - hard to check for now though.
I will ring the bike shop, and also see if they can do me a new receipt for when I got them, I'm sure they could do that.

Picture?

Look, or bike shop?
No quarms with the bike shop, got new bike being built there now, so they should be happy to help

For pedals, specifically the 'Look Keo HM Carbon Ironman' ones.

I bought them last January, but didn't use them till round Easter. They have seen plenty of use, but I like my bikes clean, so they certainly havn't been un-loved. I still couldn't really believe the state I found them in after Saturdays ride, as if they wore out in one ride.

Here are the pictures, and also what the surface looked like new:

The box is up North along the shop I purchased them from, so I'm wondering what to do until I can get back up there?

When looking closely at crank side area its clear to see that the whole 1st layer of carbon has been worn through and that it's well on its way into the next layer ... I can't imagine theres all that much left to go through with the bearings there.

how about some sought of invisble string attached to a piece of cork that you put in your mouth, and someone pulls you up the hill ?
then you can use any old tyre

Pro3, my favourite racing clincher.
I had them at nearly 120psi, no amount of letting air out would of helped on the bits it did slip and it didnt stop any momentum.
No slipping at Bec, same pressure.

Firstly, massive thanks to Will for getting me there for the start of Catford on time.
Turns out you make good grub to.

The results are up for both:

I'm really happy about Catford, managed 8th place and very close to some prize money, the atmosphere was amazing and next year I hope to have a new bike and some stronger legs.
I was a bit rushed to the start and the wheel was slipping in parts but not enough to complain as it's the same for everyone.

Can't believe how close I got to a top 10 here, joint 11th by 0.1 seconds. I felt I rode this harder ... I felt horrendous at the finish, but I placed lower so I don't know what went wrong. It started to rain when I was on the start line but I had no problems on the way up at all, don't think it affected times as people put in sub 2 min times at the end and there wasn't any leaves/gravel/mud on the road.

Massive thanks to those that cheered, you don't see faces when riding it but you defently know your being watched and it gives you a massive boost to get to the line.
Stelle I have a shoe lace you might need?
There must be more photos than that, no?

welcome to borrow mine, im in all day sitting on my arse.

i live in kennington, pm for address

fantastic, not sure how my flatmate will cope at 18mph though.
actually he can HTFU i will be drafting even without delays!

Is it a 2 hour ride there ?
I'm riding it at 10:48 ... that doesnt give me much fuck up/pu cture time if setting off at 8:45.

I'm looking some 10sp brake lever/shifters.

Almost anything considered as I almost had a heart attack at the price of new ones.

Just a left 105 5600 series would be good to.

Why has he got that many spacers then?

The drop on that stem is the same he built up with the spacers, it would look a whole lot better and the bars would be in the same place with a sensible stem on and no/less spacer. I think its too much effort to have an agressive stem.

build the frame in your spare time, you won't get enough marks to make it worth it for a gcse. from what i remember it was all about the coursework and (if you read the mark scheme) the finish on the 'product' hence all the many hours and hours spent on the frame won't count for shit, they will jsut look at the paint job.

Please can i borrow a torque wrench and hex bits for it for a day or two, exchanger for beer of course.

Horatio what the difference between the E2 and the E2 Argent ?

1st look at either the giro d'italia or ' del mondo bars, to decide on the night ...

If all your after is the same ratio as 52/19 then find a comination that gives the same ratio ?

52/19 = 2.74

44/2.74 = 16.05

so stick a 16T sprocket on there, done :)
