Looking for a 25/28mm general training/riding tyre that is quite hard wearing and puncture proof but doesn't feel like riding on hosepipes. Currently on Open Paves, which are lovely, but are pretty quick wearing

Is this still available? I'll take it if it is

Yeah, racing time trials for the last few years has helped me understand the amount of time not racing is involved in racing.

Cool, thanks. I'll have a look around, starting with the ones you have suggested.

Thanks, I'll check those out.

For the bike I suppose I was checking to see if there are things I should avoid or if there are any recommended entry level ones.

Bit of advice please - looking to enter a race or two over this autumn/winter (just for bit of fun and to break up the winter training) but not too sure on how to enter. I am based in the west London area so what would be the closest races to me? At this moment I don't have a bike, but I am looking to get one so any advice on a decent basic one to start out on (preferably second hand, but could get a new one on cycle to work if it is worth it, but the more budget friendly the better). Never done this before so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ok, thanks

How big? My noggin is 58cm, would it still fit?

Before I try on TTF, does anyone have a bell javelin in medium they are looking to get rid of? Thanks

Thanks for the write up @clubman

Not my quickest on that course, but as mentioned by clubman, considering the temp, wind and profile I was happy with that :-)

I’ll be there - Hounslow rider though. Like you, not looking forward to the temperature

Thanks for the offer, but I am going to wait for a bit before I replace them. Rims still have some life left, so I was just getting some ideas with what to replace them with when I am ready

Ok, thanks. They have them on Rose Bikes for £120

Have been using the stock wheels (Mavic CXP22) that came with my Boardman and looking to replace them now that the rims and bearings are going after several thousand miles. Are SHIMANO WH-R501 perfectly good wheels? Or are they too cheap? I will using them for all year round training and commuting in all conditions.

Thanks - I like the look of the USE ones. How much?

Great thanks, what is the cable routing like for each and how much are you looking for?

Before I ask over on TTF, does anyone have a cheap pair of 22.2mm alloy J-bend/ski extensions they are looking to get rid of? Whilst there isn't any racing, I would like to see how J-bends feel as I find the S-bends I currently use a bit uncomfortable on my wrists.

STOLEN BIKE

Raw finish On-One Pompino - with black topeak rear rack and twin black panniers (picture pre-dates them). Black Shimano Alfine crankset (i built this bike myself so it is pretty unique).

Today (10/7/19) I had my On-One Pompino stolen from my place of work in Slough. It was stolen from the underground car park which needed a key card to gain access, between 9am - 5.30pm. Broad, I know, but work are reviewing CCTV in the morning. I have reported it to police, but please keep an eye out if you see it if you live or work in the area.

Have now put it up on eBay, it is no longer available on here. Thanks

Any takers before I put it on ebay?

It’s not an easy course - so doing that time on your first 25 is outstanding, congratulations Chris (coming from a novice TT’r myself). And it was a bit windy yesterday too.
