I grew up in Birstall, all routes around red hill circle have always been shit.

RIP rider.

Sounds awful! Best of luck with the cctv and the healing.

Was concentrating too much on the job and forgot to take pictures, I soldered the wires from the new battery chip onto the old chip board, leaving the IC so theres two in series. Moment of truth…. And it turns on!

Screw it all back together, adding some grease to the seals and checking charging functionality. All seems ok, sitting with it for this charge to ensure it doesn’t heat up or anything.

All looks as expected, now to start the soldering..

About to try to replace my elemnt battery with a guide I found on google, wish me luck!

Sold, thanks @wobster

Sure, no problem. PM me the details when you know more.

I bought this from here as a pub bike when I moved back to the UK but as I moved slightly out on the city, I don't really ride to the pub much anymore and so have used it about 4 times in all the time I've owned it. I've been told one must go out before one comes in, so this is an easy choice.

I have 2 tickets to this tonight but feeling under the weather, don't want them going to waste. Anyone fancy them?

Very happy with my new bag, cheers!

Now sorted

Still got this by any chance?

Inspiring! Donated!

I’ll take the stem, pm’d

Thanks, certainly something I’d like to spend more time on. Finding the balance between training for bike races and the other bits is the challenge!

A friend of mine convinced me to give Triathlon a go which was this weekend, Olympic Distance at Dorney Lake.

I was aiming for an optimistic 02:30:00, considering I've not swam regularly for over 15 years and never done any OWS before I started training this, but I'm confident on the bike leg and running comes quite naturally.

I only managed about 5-6 swims before the event, 4 of those in open water, so not nearly enough. The lake was pretty weedy towards the far end which was a bit of a struggle, I got passed by most of my wave so was just happy for it to be over. Took me a frustrating 36 minutes.

T1 was fine, wetsuit off quickly, decided to put shoes on in transition and not try any risky mounts and off I went. Cycling is my main sport so felt confident I could make up some time, I had some clip on aero bars which I should have used more throughout, I spend most of my time training for crits and spent too long in the comfort of the drops. Course is just around the lake so pan flat but windy in sections. Got round averaging 37.6km/hr, 243 watts, taking an hour and 8 mins. Room for improvement.

T2 was super smooth.

I've been running once or twice a week for about 6 weeks, so again probably not enough but I got a 5k PR last week at 00:18:58 which I was happy with. It was just about plodding through the 10km, it was about 5km in that I realised I was probably going to just miss my target so I just concentrated on getting to the end. The course was just 4 laps of 1.25 km up a path and 1.25 km back, pretty boring and gruelling. Got through it in 00:45:52.

Total time was 02:31:47 which, all things considered, I'm happy with. I think there's lots of easy wins, especially in the swim, to bring the time down. The atmosphere was good and I enjoyed how inclusive it felt, there were people on hybrids and mountain bikes doing the shorter distances.

Will probably tri again next year, this time with more swim training.

I use Keo cleats with p1s, no issues for the past 18 months of doing so after going through multiple pairs on multiple shoes.

Ridiculous power

MVDP is phenomenal, he almost looked off the pace an hour ago

Make wheel changes great again
