Thanks folks, think I'll give it a miss!

How much of a scam do you think this website is?.... I've always wanted a pair of frogskins but cant justify the price.

Decathalon do slightly stretchy plain black shorts, minimal with a few zipped pockets, they even have a 'gusset' -Ive worn my pair every day for a year and a half more or less and they're still good - that and they do plain-ish merino Ts for about £15. I've also got a pair of Chrome canvas SPD shoes, so I look like a regular human when off the bike.

Apols if this has been asked/explained, but I'm looking to strap a rather large sleeping bag to my bars, and it always rests on the levers/brake cables. Do you guys let stuff on the bars do that? seems like it would ruin them. This is on wide risers BTW.

Yeah, it was quite a big one when I was there. Though I'm not sure I could ride all day then do park laps after dark! I think it was on Friday nights, but this is 5 or so years ago.

I did 2 seasons in Sunshine (the big local hill to Banff), and totally recommend it. The night park at Norco was fun too if thats your thing. Calgary is boring AF though, so don't expect excitement there, though I think they might still use the old olympic grounds, so maybe some after work sesh's there.

I'd be interested to see if this has held up with the USB mounts - got any pics yet?

Passed this myself - Totally agree with your summary, looked nasty.

Fair comment...
They've since been back and got all the way through the lock. Did not confront this time. my neighbour did. I've stuck a load of wheelie bins and scaffolding in front. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hi, Ive just foiled a bike robbery outside my house on a bike cage - 4 dudes with a angle grinder- I've called the police, but the lock is 90% cut through, and I don't know who any of the bike owners are. Do you think the thieves will come back to finish the job? Anyone think of anything I could do to stop the bikes being stolen tonight. Bearing in mind its right outside my front door, and I don't want to attract undue attention from people who steal bikes...
Cheers

Hi,
Another bike stolen.
If anyone sees a DMR Rhythm, in green, mostly stock with a white pivotal saddle please PM me. It was stolen form outside my house last night. It was locked to a solid metal railing in E1. I'm not holding out much hope, but you never know.
Cheers.

I took the East-West cycle way in at about lunch time today. At this time of the day its an impromptu jogging track, but otherwise great. I was following the 'Fuck Taxis' guy who gave each runner a super-close pass. I don't blame him, but I don't think gonna make a bit of difference.

Well done! Love the idea of a quick track stand at the top of Hardknott, it was all I could do to stand at all by that time. It was the first time I'd done any sportive or race, so I think I jumped in the deep end a bit, but no dramas. I did see a rider down looking very worse for wear on the descent from Honnister, and the ensuing ambulance coming up to get him at the feed station. Good luck at Bergamo this weekend!

Hey! I did it too, amazing weather and support too. I got round in predictably sub par 9:45. How'd you find Hard Knott?

Quill adapter still up for grabs?

Did a some of this last week… make sure you get a train early as my early one was canceled and had to get a later one. Like owlz says, you can get on early and hang about on the boat. Its kind of worth it because you're paying for a cabin that you can only really use for few hours. Amsterdam is on 45k from Utrecht, and check out Lf4 cycle route, from Utrecht, which is pretty nice. If you cycle the coast at all, make sure you're going North, the wind was pretty epic when I went!

Not just the weekend, but a 3 day ride round Holland. Hoek Van Holland - Amsterdam - Utrecht and back to the Hoek.
Great place to ride, and great weather except for 20km into the driving rain on the last stretch.

I've a need to camouflage my bars. PM en route.

Hi,

Anyone got a spare - or similar?

Thanks.

Hey, dibs the 650c front.
PM inbound!

Thanks guys, this is pretty interesting. Especially as One-one have a SS MTB crankset on ridiculous offer. Am I right in thinking a SS MTB crankset would run about the middle ring of a triple?
Here's the link for anyone interested; http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CSOOTC/on-one-external-bearing-track-crankset

I've had a good read through the Velosolo site, and they fall just short of answering my question. I do have 130mm drop outs, but no chain set at all yet. I think a single speed chain set with your suggestion of a double chanring BB would lift the chain line wide enough. Theres not going to be a huge hurry to get running gears, it would just be good to have the option without getting a new wheel. Cheers!

I was hoping to do that, but like you say, chain line. Velo Solos website suggests that they'd be very helpful, so I might shoot off an email to them. I haven't go any components for it yet, so its all still negotiable. Thanks for the help.
@Rodolfo, what crank/bb size/standard do think would do the trick, surely chain line becomes less important when you fit a derailleur etc.?
