I had this issue for a while. Turns out the fix for me was to wear the stap a little lower on my chest.
I try to line up the top of the strap a touch below the bottom of my sternum. This means the two sensors are sitting on my ribs rather than the base of my pectoral muscles (the movement/contraction of which might have been confusing the HRM previously).

edit: Moved to eBay

Got taken out by some fat MAMIL while stationary at the zebra crossing just before Vauxhall Bridge north-bound.
He ploughed into my rear wheel on my right hand side and then claimed he had been overtaking me... clearly hadn't taken the time to recognise I was stopped because peds were crossing.

Hole torn in the knee of my bib tights. Need to get the sewing kit out tonight :(

Seriously considering joining this. Looks like a great day out!

Didn't make it out to any ThNRK rides this year owing to race training commitments and a subsequent broken collarbone.
Distance and possibly weather aside, would this ride be similar to ThNRK fare?

I joined the Clavicle Club during Thundercrit on Saturday. Spent 2 nights in Homerton Hospital thanks to other additional complications.

Haven't seen an x-ray but my discharge papers describe the break as "Multi-fragmentary fracture of the middle third of the shaft of the right clavicle. Mild displacement at the fracture site."
Can anyone translate that for me? Anyone suffered something similar?

I was told it's pretty clean break so they're not overly keen to plate it. Having done some reading, I'm definitely leaning towards pushing for surgery with my main motivation being recovery time (don't want to lose an entire summer of riding and racing just as the weather gets good!)

The Doctors weren't very communicative with me but my Fracture Clinic appointment is next Thursday so I guess I'll learn more then.

Sleeping is impossible due to discomfort. Having only one viable arm makes every task almost impossible. The pain is surprisingly mild though which is an unexpected up-side.
6 week sick-note from work helps too, though I imagine I'll go mad with boredom by then!

Yeah I’ve seen a few videos and my own onboard go pro footage seems to support your narrative @HoKe.
I had no idea the crash took out so many others behind as well. Apologies to all.

@roboto I’m reall not sure there’s anything more you could have done from a race director point of view.

Crash aside, that B Final was absolutely the ride of my life and I had the best time chasing down wheels and moving up the order.

Now to rest up and get strong. I’ll be back ASAP and 100% keen on racing Thundercrit again!

Fantastic day. Props to all the organisers and everyone involved. Alas it was me who crashed in the Men’s B Final.
Apologies for all the chaos and destruction it caused. Hope noone else was hurt and that I didn’t delay the main event too much. I still need to see if I can salvage the GoPro footage (anyone else got any shots of the crash?)

Heard clapping as we drove past in the ambulance which was much appreciated. Love this community!!

Did the tyre clearance debate ever get settled?
Is it really 23mm max or has a larger clearance been proven?

Looking for some data recovery advice please...

Water damaged MacBook Air 13" mid-2013. It's dead and an identical replacement has been ordered and received.
I'm looking to restore the data from the dead machine on to the new one (assuming the SSD isn't fried).

The dead machine won't turn on so cloning the drive in-situ isn't an option.
Those OWC caddies are prohibitively expensive for the 2013+ MBA SSDs (since apple changed the connector).

If I were to put the old SSD in the new machine and it's damaged, what are the chances of it killing the new machine?

Are data recovery services worth the money? Are they trust-worthy? Any recommendations from the forum?

Thanks in advance!

Last minute bail. Soz.

Good point! I hadn't thought of it that way, actually.

Switched cogs last night. First commute on the new ratio 67 > 75 GI.
Only added 8GI but the comfortable spinniness of my old ratio is definitely absent. Gonna take a few days to get used to it I reckon.

Quick PSA regarding Filevault...

I shut my Late-2012 iMac down for the first time since January last night. There was a thunderstorm and I wasn't too keen on my machine getting fried in the unlikely event of a power surge.

When I came to turn it back on this morning Filevault refused to accept my (correct) password at boot. It kept encouraging me to enter my (long since misplaced) recovery key or reboot into recovery mode.

Much googling and stressing led me to the source; my recently purchased Chinese eBay Magic Keyboard clone. It appears that Filevault won't accept a password from certain input devices (I assume there's an approved list or something).

Booting into the Recovery Mode gives an option along the lines of "My keyboard isn’t working when typing my password to login" at which point you can enter your password to disable Filevault and decrypt your boot drive. Trivially easy to do, to the extent I question why one prompt screen won't accept it, and another will.

TL;DR - If your Apple keyboard breaks and you're broke and purchase a cheap eBay clone to see you through, it might cause you issues booting through Filevault.

Great ride, all!!
Spins for days. Had the best time on the final TT to the pub.

I have a job interview this Friday so I'll have to count myself out if it's being moved to this Thurs.

As someone who's wet weather gear consists of a boil-in-the-bag jacket and an ass-saver, I'd be perfectly content with postponing.

In.

Might work from home in SE then ride out. Might get the train from Victoria.
I'll decide tomorrow.

Crossed Vauxhall Bridge Northbound and rolled up to the red light.
Put my foot down and it just kept on going! Slipped forward and out from under me. Kept relatively upright only needing to touch a couple of fingers to the ground.

Closer inspection of my shoes reveals the rubber heal pad is pretty much all worn off so I've basically been stepping down onto the plastic sole for who knows how long!
Hurry up, Payday. It's new shoe buying time!

Went to this yesterday evening and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I'm a complete yoga novice but Sarah was great!!
