@scmtns No, it makes you the weekend warrior who seems to think they are racing. You aren’t, you are just riding slightly faster than those of a lower ability than you, which isn’t really much of a challenge. »
@wiscot This has reminded me to post this link to the stupidest bike product I’ve seen for a while…padded arm warmers. wtf? http://road.cc/content/review/85080-stanto-velo-protective-arm-warmers »

Just searching images of Alpenrose track (it looks gnarly) I found a picture of the bike they’ve picked for frank: my guess is 40.55KM. »
Good Luck Frank. Its too late to help, but I heartily recommend this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Hour-Michael-Hutchinson/dp/0224075209 It’s an account of Michael Hutchinson’s hour attempt but it also gives a great history of the hour record ov… »

The devil makes work for idle legs. Nice article Brett and stories from others. My favorite cycling quote can be used to describe life in general – ‘There will be chaos – keep pedaling’. »

@DerHoggz I ride Conti GP4000S (23′s) and get on well with them. I also have a pair of Conti Attack / Force that are really nice tyres but are too lightweight for the roads where I live. My rain / commuting bike has Schwalbe Durano that have been really… »
@snoov @itburns Cheers for your help. Will take another look at the bike tonight and your suggestions. The cage seems to move across ok and the position indicator moves all the way to the left on the shifter. It then just seems to be missing the third c… »
I need some front mech help as my n2 is stuck in the small ring. Tension and alingment seem ok but the shifter will only click up 2 times not 3 so the chain dumps back down. Its humble tiagra thats covered around 6000km. Any ideas where to start? »

I’ve just picked up one of these Mavic H20 Sprint jackets that I’ll wear during my dark commutes over the winter. It’s a quality bit of kit, well fitted and not stupid expensive. The white / black contrast will make me as visible as I need to be. I’d say … »
