PP is cool, BT is cool, PPG is cool, Cash in a brown envelope is cool. We cool? Cool.

Word,

I have a 30.9mm Thomson seatpost that needs a new, loving home. It's 367mm long. There's one prominent zigzag scratch on it (damn you, Cannock Chase gritmud) and a bunch of lighter scratches as well. Also, the anodizing is pretty worn away in places.

Here be the pictures:

£30 posted. PPG or BT. Happy for people to collect from W1 London, or SE18 Plumstead if it's easier; £25 cash. :)

I had drilled a hole in my Nitto handle bar for a brake cable. I've cycled with it for over a year, but it gave up yesterday when I was climbing the slope from the basement where my bike was stalled. Fortunately, I did not fall.

I'd dissuade anyone from drilling holes in handle bars....

LOL

You utter, utter bellend. hugs

PM'd you about the tyre, AngelD. :)

I'd be interested in the chainset too, if a) it's still for sale and b) splutter doesn't nab it after all.

A not dissimilar thing happened to me on the descent from Christmas Common towards Watlington, when a big white van stopped with no signals or obvious reason on an empty stretch of the road. It turned out he had stopped to put out a sign saying "CAUTION: CYCLISTS IN ROAD" for a charity ride that was coming through later that day.

Tres LOL, monsieur.

I've called out cyclists for randomly appearing under my left armpit in the past, but they soon learn their lesson. The Mu Mu pits are no place for mankind.

what should have been some delicious San Pellegrino Chinotto, turns out it was Cocal Cola Zero! WTF!

The horror.

Love a nice bit of chinotto.

@Mu Mu: Judging by your username, you're either Bill Drummond of Jimmy Cauty and I claim my five pounds.

Correct! I have burnt your five pounds in memory of that pointless publicity stunt we pulled ages ago.

Stationery rubbing preferred.

Cycling home through Victoria, white van pulls out from road on the right, arcs over to my lane and rubs against me. I look in the window, like: "hello?" Driver and passenger both on the phone... I go to jot down the reg and the driver says, laughing, "good luck with that!" I shrug, he had a point, I go on my way.

Fuck London. I'm getting so bored with it.

Just imagine if the white van had been a beautiful lady. It could have all been so different.

What does anyone make of these? Was thinking about getting some for the commute. My Knogs aren't cutting it.

I like(d) my pair*. They're light, bright-ish and the USB charging is pretty handy, as long as you make sure to pop the charging dongle on your keyring and not lose it.

The front one only lasts just short of two hours on max brightness, and even then it's not hugely bright. It's fine as long as you simply want it for visibilty rather than hoping to light up pitch black country roads at 15mph+. I had to buy a proper man's light for the Dunwich Dynamo, for example.

Road.cc benchmarked it against proper man lights, here:

*The rear one pinged off somewhere in London a few months ago. sob
