Bugger!!!! 2nd dibs please if it all goes horribly wrong (not that im wishing that on you gizmond!!!).

Pretty confident skidding and stopping was think more 'bout distance and terrain.
Once you get over the A5 its pretty fantastic cycling country...lots of green and rolling hills

where are you now?

If youve done Leicester then Burton would be quite easy distance wise..one down side... any way into Burton from this side is a biggish downhill. I'll go in on the A50 across the old bridge. Its a big down hill with lights at the bottom. Not done it fixed. If youre brakeless have your soles lined with grey compound Kool stop :) but im only a newbie!!!

Always happy to stop and talk bikes...im based just outside Nuneaton so tend to head northish into leicestershire..market bosworth etc. Ill let you know about Burton trip.

1950 Claud Butler frame / forks with modern stuff added.

Have a look here - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142580

Dryish weather only though which means im going to have to convert my daily ride as well :)) as fixed has proved to be highly addictive!

sorry :( only been singlespeeding a year and fixed for 4 weeks...

I'll let you know when we are out next. Trip to Burton planned soon for beer at Burton Bridge Brewery then a steady wobble home :)

Theres a couple of us shonking around Nuneaton / Ridge Lane if ever you fancy a ride out..plus access to a brewery. Surely a winner !

Not sure where to pop this so i thought here was good enough...just done first two rides (yesterday and today) ever fixed (been singlespeeding a year) and scared myself stupid going down two biggish hills (i can handle spinning but brain kept saying coast). Hilarious :::)))Had to bail out once as my brain chickened out totally. I must have looked like a crazed male bodaceia with pedals spnning out. Back out tomorrow at 0600 to find more hills.

Hi Marcho...did you manage to get hold of a brass seat clamp? Karl

Ive got a tiny late 40's Pollard frame with 26'' wheels which is fitted with a munchkin GB stem. The whole thing would suit the Nitto. Interested?

???

I wonder how many parsnips its worth?

try angle grinding 50mm of the bottom and welding it on up top...

Bugger....a tad too short. Thanks for letting me know. Karl

what length is the aero seatpost from marker to rails? and rails to bottom of post?

If you guys (and gals) want to get fit then football pitch reps are awesome. Take it from an average club runner who has turned to cycling, these will get you running very very quickly. Find a grass footy pitch and get a stopwatch. Have a gentle jog for warm up...at least 5 - 10 mins slow. Your warm up can be the trip to the pitch. Run hard and as fast as possible diagonally across the pitch from one corner flag to the other and then slow jog (slow but not walking) along the line at the top of the pitch (dont run into the goalposts!!), then run hard across the other diagonal and repeat for 15mins. When you get fitter you can increase time to 20 - 25 mins. The key is to run hard and have short recoveries. Do this twice a week with at least 2 days inbetween sessions. Beer optional. Being sick after the session inevitable. This really works....

Take up cycling.

First run since shin splints developed, made myself do only one lap of the park.

Extremely frustrating!

Anything I can do to hasten the disapearance of the shin pain?
