What's with all the spare cable?

The rain's not that bad - just got home from work & the headwind was a killer; I could barely turn the pedals at times!

Mine's silver in colour ie just shiney metal. I'll PM you James.

I've brought another one since sorry so can't do the swap - it's still for sale though if you want to buy it? I can drop the price to a tenner if you like...

There's a guy that sits in my eye-line that sleeps at work all the time (he does do the most boring job ever though so you've got to let him off) - makes me very sleepy just seeing him there with his eyes closed. I have to go for a little lap around the office if I start to go too.

Same here, good meeting everyone!

boo, i'm at the pub- isn't raining anymore! Is

Ooo this could work for my girlfriend, I will ask her later...

I work really close & can't face staying late at work just to get there at the same time as everyone else.

Right, I'm going to be there from about 5:15 - as this is my first forum adventure if any of you see me please say hello so I'm not sat on my own all night - I'm tallish, early 20's wearing a black & Blue checked shirt.

About a 1/4 maybe a 1/3 for me :-) does mean I'll be there quite early though.

West beers in the west? I think I'll come for a couple, though a part of me still thinks you shouldn't meet up with people you've met on the internet!

What time do these things kick off?

I saw a guy on a modern looking black Fest or Feast or something like that, black frame, red hard to read writing. Wearing sidi shoes & had a bright green strip on your courier bag - riding along Chiswick High street/hammersmith road. You did an impressive skid into long track-stand at the lights on hammersmith roundabout - you on here?

I was the guy failing miserably at trying to keep up with you.

Thanks everyone

Thanks for the reply - So how do I tighten it? I tried using a wrench but when I got it tight it made the steering stop working!

Vaguely related:

I noticed a creaking coming from my bars/stem on the ride home so when I got back I had a little look and my stem is very flexy - no biggie though as I only use the bike to commute. But when I was flexing I noticed that the stem actually moved in the forks if I pull really hard - is this normal? I guess not but I've tightened the allen key thing in the top as tight as it'll go & it still moves - any suggestions?

Thanks

I can't help you but can add that I've recently started cycling to work & I too have started getting really bad neck pain, I was thinking it was from a combo of leaning forward & looking up putting strain on the neck muscles - coincidentally I sometime get the exact same pain & neck stiffness from playing too much CoD sat in the same position.

Wests is wherever Murtle lays his cycling cap.............

Any chance of getting him to lay it down north of the river? In the stretch of West between Hammersmith & Ealing? I know - I'm lazy.

I'm not mocking your choice of work or anything but how many hours of the day do you have to work for your £36?

Seems like a lot of effort, or am I missing something?

This might make me unpopular but I think the "release" one isn't that bad - I wouldn't have put the green stuff on it but loads of people round london seem to like the green.

@Baxter Haha now that's funny (sorry)!

I see some truely awful attempts at locking out side a tube station near work - I'll try and take a few photos next week.

Thanks Re-cycled. Bit strange that real shops would price match the internet but I'll give it a go.

Hmm, I'm looking at buying this lock from Parker International as it's at least £20 cheaper than everywhere else but I'm a bit worried by the fact that it's so much cheaper - I thought wiggle & CRC were substantially bigger so how come they don't have such low prices?

Basically I'm wondering if PI are a bit dodgey or are they just very generous with their discounts?

Flipping heck, are you talking about one of these: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/genesis/flyer-520-2010-road-bike-frame-set-ec021327?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle

Never seem that before in my life, does that mean I can claim they copied me as my frame is older? :-)
