Pro Team softshell is weird. Tight cuffs. Stretchy.

This looks very similar but cheaper...

@Borek - trade with confidence.

A few people did silly things but I felt really good on the bike and weather was lovely this morning so couldn't care less. 9/10 would float along on a happy cloud again.

But don't get hung up with CTL chasing.

I've become obsessed with Strava's fitness/freshness and power curve pages...

It's a choice that works well but just needs a bit of care. Like your chain.

Yeah, I know.... but in terms of warranty, it's not outside the bounds of intended use:

Well, the bike fits if this is his (didn't have the attachment on it) http://www.lfgss.com/comments/12356069/

OK I'll admit... I picked up that 20% code and bought the headphones. For the turbo. What a twat. Anyway, they are more tolerable than any others I've tried - I'm really irritable on the turbo (mega promuter watts is serious business) and get pissed off with everything around me - earphones/headphones usually get thrown on the sofa in anger early on. These stay on without noticeable clamping, my ears didn't fill with sweat, they're light and the inline remote is just about chunky enough to use. It's nice to have only one cable, though none would be better. They sound pretty good (yeah...on a par with real hi-fi headphones half the price) and block out the noise of the Kickr. Feel a bit of a tool for buying them but they do the job well and didn't get consigned to the sofa.

They can't both be right :s

Is one in free air while the other is under load pressing against the ground?

Awful ride home last night in wet - I like riding in the rain but people doing fucking stupid things, riding too close at speed, too much traffic... ugh. Today had to take the train, but came straight back, grabbed bike and did three laps of Richmond Park. PR. 10/10 would swap commute for proper session again.

I find the pockets a problem on super lightweight and lightweight jerseys. Much, much prefer the Pro Team jersey - magical material and better pockets. Completely stopped using lightweight or super now.

Edit - code only works once per account. You can use it again by signing out, then add items to basket, apply code, press check out, then sign in to complete.

Hawaiian shirt. LMNH boxers (!). CS8 around 9am. Did not DAS for safety - too hectic.

Serious. I just cannot believe those max figures. Is it really that bad? 78mph at 5pm and at 11am?

I don't like the idea of people taking photos of people just cos they think they are doing something remarkable or unusual.

Do you even photography?

Look at the maximum speed recorded column and tell me this table is anything other than complete bollocks. The machine's obviously getting confused and any figure that comes out of it should be ignored.

Yes, Tom's are too flexy for cycling.

It can be fucking freezing on Apline descents even in July. The rain jacket is perfect for that - completely blocks the wind and obviously it's waterproof. The wind jacket is more packable but not enough if it's 5C and you're descending for an hour. It's also useless in the rain if you're not pedalling.

Recommend:

• Taking everything - cycle clothing is light and on day two you don't want to think I wish I took my softshell/lightweight jersey/gilet/etc.
  
• Long finger summer gloves (e.g. the Assos ones).
  
• Unless it's really hot, yes wear arm warmers.
  
• Big bidons if you're unsupported.
  
• If it's pretty warm or you aren't going really high, you could get away with arm warmers and gilet - much more packable.
  

On those marginal days it depends if you're riding with someone slower or faster than you...

Theirs! Fuck, it's too late for you. You're one of them.

For what it's worth ladies, I got an "ooooohhh nice calves! Aren't you the king" from white van man + his buddies this morning. I'm glad I was turning off. I blew them a kiss. Didn't like it and thought of this thread though appreciate it's not the same.

This guy? https://app.strava.com/athletes/271199

Often see him in HotChillee kit in my changing rooms at work...

Same here. I was quite excited about getting them, almost imported a bunch to offer out, but glad I didn't when I saw that post.

I like to think I'd have picked it up and smashed it.

Yelled "OH FUCK NO BRAKES!!! SHITTT I CAN'T STOP" through the left turn at Westminster onto Embankment - it was that or stop on a green. Seemed to do the trick, no peds stuck to my handlebars.
