Guilty!

New Exposure red eye doesn't want to play ball with my Revo, looks like they have changed the connector style. Anything that can be done ?

Edit, adding image.

That's definitely a good shout with removing another 5 degrees from the forecasted temperature - means carrying more than I would like but probably unavoidable. Maybe worth taking a down jacket and hiking style waterproof rather than cycling specific stuff? Shakedry jacket seems pocketable but not as warm as other waterproofs.

I've got aero bars on but they don't quite sit in the right place, and being basic ones they don't have stack or reach adjustment. I have looked at other options but they seem pricey. Is there a recommended option? Other things that might work would be raising the handlebars a bit on the steerer, I think I have 5 or 10mm to play with, and maybe trying a shorter stem?

Tyres was just bad judgement really. I've got some of the new Specialized endurance tyres on the way now which I'm keen to try out.

Scraped round the Old 240 at the weekend, first audax for a long time and longest ride in some years. Felt good in parts but between Alston and Scotch Corner there were a lot of dark thoughts. Picked up a few things to improve in future and a few questions for people that have ridden more of the things:

• is wrist/hand pain inevitable after 200 miles or can things still be improved?
  
• how to make sure you have enough warm clothes? I could have worn full winter gear over night but had packed layers more suitable for cold spring day. Fortunately another rider leant me an extra layer, I might not have made it otherwise.
  
• replace tyres before it's too late, got lucky buying a spare in Appleby.
  
  

And a few snaps:

Something like Profile Design would be great, ideally with some stack height adjustment. Let me know, thanks.

Sounds like a good work around, it would not be ideal to not have the option to adjust.

I'll have to have a rummage in the garage.

People using supernova front mount with the double T25 fittings, are you carrying 2 X T25 tools with you in case adjustment is needed ?

Doing my first long ride with the setup at the weekend and realised my multi tool has only single T25 and it's not in great condition anyway.

Yes it is closed, or at least it is now. I'll continue to monitor. Also tightened up the nut on the hydraulic line.

Seem to have a bit of a leak from the rubber port on this calliper, any suggestions for how to fix? Thanks. Calliper is near enough brand new.

Just wanted to share details of a local MTB event - the Steel Valley Ride - on July 15th which helps the small environmental charity I work for north of Sheffield to raise a bit of extra money each year.

Anyone done the Old 240 in the past or looking at doing it on the 20th?

Running 11 speed grx and just switched to the 3rd (possibly 4th new chain). I was expecting to change cassette as well but the new chain is happy on existing cassette and chain rings.

Change the cassette anyway or leave as is ? Thanks.

Looking for recommendations for some Vernier calipers and a torque wrench for bike stuff. Not silly money but built to last. Mitutoyo any good ?

Second dibs Schwalbe g ones please.

My x-t3 and 55-200 had an unscheduled touch down after a family day out today. The lens mount sheared off and remained attached to the body.

Any idea if this can be repaired and who might do it ? Thanks.

Anyone got an endurace/ultimate in size L they are thinking of getting rid of ? Ta.

Thanks for the feedback, I did send it over to Carbon Bike Repair who came back with a fairly optimistic response - "From what I can see, the damage is quite light and would seem to be safe to ride. One test you may use would be to try and gently put a blade into the damage and so long as it does not slide in then you will be OK."

I will go and take a look but starting to think it's probably not worth the risk and possible hassle.

Looking at buying a second hand Giant TCR but details photos from the seller have revealed this damage from chain suck on the chain stay. Apparently is only superficial but hard to be sure, anyone got any experience or thoughts on this? I will view in person before taking a decision ofc.

Anyone know what the difference is between

Is one a newer frame/design? Thanks.

Very sad to say I lost my forum list burner on a night ride earlier this week.

Thought I would see if anyone has one they are willing to part with before I put in an order for a new one. Ta.

5 is Anerley Hill ?

A bit of research suggests 13's did a lot better on battery life than 12's - any anecdata to support ?

Thanks, seems to be working now.

Looking into refurbished iPhones to replace a Samsung S8 that is on the way out.

Was aiming towards 12 Pro but it seems to have an overly small battery. Is an 11 Pro 'too old' (?) - what do people think is the best value point, outside of the latest SE?

I'm struggling to get Zwift activities to sync with Garmin connect- I have connected the two via the Zwift connections page but doesn't seem to have done anything. Thanks.
