Constant clicking that sounds to me like I imagine loose spokes would sound, but it only happens when the bike is thoroughly wet. I'm taking it in to the LBS tomorrow but, as it's making no such noise now, I don't know what good that's going to do.

Edit: photo is a link to a flickr video of the bike making that noise.

I had to call in at a pub for a sheet, and I didn't know whether I'd ever see the bike again, so I took this photo. At the start of the ride I had a 4' Kryptoflex cable (last seen at Barton upon Humber Tesco). When I got back to the bike I noticed I'd left the Charmin Ultra on its mount.

DHB are pretty great.

That would be my first chioce after Rapha PT.

Which ones in particular?

Will also look at Morvelo.

Reverse bidding war! Am now seriously considering goonz's offer. Draft pm in abeyance until further notice.

I've drafted a pm.

Provisional dibs

Forgot brown sandals.

Horsington

Looking for divine assistance at the step.

He probably hasn't, but would he?

Tried it but didn't seem to have the Clarence. The fly garnishing my shit sandwich was that I fugged the thread in the process. Still love the idea. It's just my execution that needs arranging.

EDIT: fixed the threads this way: https://youtu.be/pfPm1W89TO0

What are the rules regarding abandoned (if somehow you can prove they're abandoned) frames.

Hands off.

Much monochrome suffering at the letterbox.

Carradice shoulder strap to replace the creaking original on my Topeak trunk bag.

^ Pretty quick in my most recent experience, albeit it was only an accessory. Ordered on a Tuesday night, dispatched on the Thursday morning and received on the Saturday (iirc).

To the Sudafed respondents: bless you / thanks. I was of course using Sudocrem but I was smearing it on the pad (of paper that I keep in the pocket of my shorts) rather than applying it directly to my bodty. I thought I read somewhere that that was the technique. I'll give the other way a try next time out.

Because it's theirs.

Trudging the dog this evening, I encountered a car parked (by a driver) totally blocking the pavement. VW Scirocco or something. Some kind of new fangled off road vehicle, clearly. No doubt the driver thinks of themself as being most considerate (to other drivers). Makes me want to scratch their eyes out and shit in their radiator vents.

Later on our loop I observed a car driver driving their vehicle slowly over a traffic calming bit of road just behind a bird standing in the carriageway. There were no other vehicles being driven or ridden on this stretch of road at the time. The driver was proceeding at about 5mph but the bird didn't take off, so the driver just drove straight over it and killed the fucker. Using the horn in every situation except where it might actually be appropriate (regardless of what the highway code might have to say about that). I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds and shook my head. I'd like to have thrown a brick at their fucking car.

Lincoln Imp Audax done ridden. 112km. The Sudafed in the shorts trick isn't working for me. Maybe I've got a dodgy pack.

^^^ Sold secure red sauce

Anti

^^ It's in Ludford, a village in the Lincolnshire Wolds. I had to double back to take the photo and there was a gaggle of middle aged grown-ups in the front garden of the property behind me. A little bit awkward.

^ Sounds is right.

Solo 112km audax route ride, ahead of the event itself in a fortnight. Hellish breeze, and it got a little bit wet at one point, but my gloves kept me dry.

Did my first audax. 200km of flat Lincolnshire roads, but with added hellish head breezes on neverendless soul destroying straight stretches out towards the coast. Zero prep but it was a piece of piss even though I was carrying way too much heavy stuff and having some borderline Paula Radcliffe moments. I had to stop and make sure I hadn't followed through at one point. Saw someone with LMNH branding on their something or other.
