Couldn't agree more pacef8 106ks alone over that terrain in those conditions, Chapaeu!!!

I'm glad someone agrees with me d_m, 3 missed "whereabouts violations" she should've been banned!! But as usual she wormed her way out of it, and as for the BBC cutting to her with her daughter during the winners interview if I wanted to watch "baby diary" crap T.V. I'd watch ITVbe!!!!!

I'm so glad Armistead didn't win!!!!

Chuffed to bits to see him win the Junior TT, did anyone else notice he put his Garmin down the front of his skinsuit as his back up bike didn't have a mount fitted.

Hi all, I'm after 3 replacement brake lever hoods, Shimano Ultegra 8 and 10 speed LEFT and a Campagnolo Veloce 10 speed RIGHT. Thanks in advance.

Thinking about entering the Epsom CC event on H25/8 on 29th September, I'm gonna ride Medium Gear 72" just to see if I can go "under" I've done 26 TT's this year and 2 Cyclocross races, with the Newbury cross tomorrow and rhe Reading CC cross next weekend. I'll probably do a couple of cross events in October.

MvDP will win the worlds.

Hi, still avalaible? Thanks

Hi all I'm gonna enter 2 cross races, the Reading CC at Prospect Park (22/09) and the North Hamphshire RC at Popham Airfield (20/10) has anybody ridden these? What are the courses like, any advice on gears (my cross bike is currently set up 50/34 12-25) I was thinking of changing the cassette to an 11-32 any advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Road the Alton CC ten on H10/8 last night, recorded 21:57 on 49x14 (93") it was like riding in an oven 33 degrees. Not bad for an old git of nearly 49 with a dodgy hip!

Hi all, can anyone fit a BB30 bottom bracket for me, or recommend a decent bike shop to do the job, I live in Middlesex. Cheers. Nic

andyp, I don't want to annoy anyone on the forum, I've been a member for years. If you think JA is clean you think it, I'm really dubious of the performances of most pro riders, I've been racing myself since 1985, saw my first Tour that year, I can't see how they're not "assisted" I think the "Omarta" is as strong now as its always been, going back to Anquetil and before him.

How can he be????!!!

J.A. Skids to a halt after the T.T. and doesn't even look out of breath!!!!! He can't be clean, I'm amazed the way he's riding!

Rode the Alton CC ten tonight on H10/8 and tied with my existing record of 23:39!!! Averaged 27.075mph to the turn, with a howling tailwind, but, coming back was so hard, I know on a better night I could go at least 10/20 seconds quicker! The bike was awesome, just weather conditions were against me, I'm gonna attempt to lower the record again soon. (11th July hopefully the next attempt date)

Thanks

Nice bike, how tall are you?

I'm up for "forum records" I don't think I'll set many, but up for it all the same.

I'll check the roll out tomorrow, thanks for the heads up and thanks for cutting the steerer column as well, not tried the cranks yet, but I will do, WLRS, you're version was very clever. Thanks.

Sorry "WLRS" is just an abbreviation for Wheelers.

Just don't count the teeth on the chainring, it's got 48 teeth! I've ordered a 49T its not arrived yet.

In response to clubmans thread, I started riding in 1985 I joined the Clarence Wheelers , Alf Whiteway ran the club, his attitude was "low gears" learn to pedal he used to say 66" (42x17) if he saw you out riding and he saw you on the 15, did he bollock you down the club on a Thursday night!! Alf was a real exponent of riding low gears, he was the driving force behind Tony Doyle (world pursuit champion 1980/86) and Ray Hughes a "master twiddler"

My love of riding fixed stems back years but recently I built my Paké fixed wheel TT bike, (frame/forks purchased from Pro Cyclery in Las Vegas in 2011) some of my best rides have been on fixed, hence the Dolan TC1, I hope the bikes faster, its considerably lighter, I'm hoping I can do a few decent rides on it in the future. My forms not as good as in previous seasons but I'm plugging away this year. I'm looking forward to Thursday I just hope my legs are good (I'm riding the a3crg 15 on P884/15b on Wednesday, I'm hoping to lower my HDW 15 record on the Wednesday) so, if my legs are ok and the weather is favourable I hope to beat my existing record. Here's to Thursday and H10/8.

Dolan TC1 all built and ready to go, 1st outing H10/8 Thursday night, I'm planning on lowering my Hounslow & Dist. WLRS club 10 record (currently 23:39) I'm hoping/wondering if the new bike is faster than my Paké. (Gel280, Zonda and Corima Aero+ wheels)
