So you basically either get snow or midges?

When i’ve described the WRT to family they’ve definately looked at me as though I am one. Not seen that phrase used though since I left London.

03/01 75.8 (167.1)
05/01 76.0 (167.4)
12/01 75.6 (166.6)
19/01 74.7 (164.6)
26/01 75.6 (166.6)
02/02 75.3 (166.0)

Going the right direction again at least but it looks like I either need to cut out the beer or exercise more.

Wouldn’t his front tyre explode before he hits 88mph?

I have a 4 day pass from the missus so I’ve signed up.

For a mere £320 you could have 350g carbon fibre rack...

Sleep patterns were all over the place this week so no exercise and too much junk eaten

Not sure I'll check that...but good to know :)

S.

If it’s as hard you’ll definitely know.

I’ve just been updating my original post or would you prefer to add a new one each week?

I found a few 1 star reviews on amazon that imply they had some early manufacturing issues after their kickstarter where the mechanism would lock and then not unlock. Hopefully they've been resolved now...

It's an obvious trade off between weight and security: A HipLok Z Lok weighs 20g and is basically an armoured zip tie that will act as a deterrent against a casual tea leaf but not much more than that. Uses a universal key. A retractable cable lock like a Knog Milkman weighs about 150g but it's just...

Shimano MT32 shoes, size 43, bought as spares a few years ago and only worn a handful of times. Sizing wise, I'm a UK 8.5 and I find them a bit small.
Shimano MT32 shoes, size 40, worn once.

Both pairs have got SPD cleats fitted. £20 posted each.

...and delivered a new pump since I was fed up with my small, light and not very effective one. He also delivered 2 new inner tubes since I'm averaging a puncture per 10 km in January.

I showed my wife this thread to show that that I'm an amateur, I don't have too many bikes and I really don't spend that much on my hobby:

Peugeot Tour 10 (stolen)
Marin Bobcat Trail (left in Marin coincidentally)
Lemond Nevada City
Norco LRT2 (stolen)
Konnect BSO
Giant Anthem
Giant Escape

If you want something fast rolling for gravel then there's also Road Plus tyres to consider though they might be a bit narrow (1.9"), e.g. WTB Byways or Compass Switchback Hill. As a slight tangent since I was looking for a new set of similar but non-tubeless tyres this lunchtime, I wish tyre m...

I noticed on Singletrack that Wolf Components do a collar (Valais 25) that you attach your saddlebag to. It’s not cheap at $25 and you lose a bit of drop but it might work for you

Still trying to reduce sugar intake with varying degrees of success and taking more packed lunches to work.

Add me too, currently at 75.8 (11st 13) and want to get back down to 70(11st). Actually being able to wear my older closer fitting cycling tops is the aim.

We ended up with a Qeridoo Speedkid2 - not cheap but it's been rock solid. It copes with road, rail trails and the Cannock Chase green trail without any issues.

There was a vote? If it was tacked on to the start of the thread I probably missed it because on the phone at least I normally just open the thread and then click on the first unread post link if there is one otherwise i'll just go back.

Hopefully just face and head... Right now, I'd happily go for the bollox. I'm discovering shingles in your eye produces a very, very special kind of pain. It's quite diffucult to decribe but would involve acid, boiling water, sand and big hot needles. I look like this > :wink: I had that a couple o...

I bought myself my present from the missus - a nice jersey from Torm - that she has to wrap up but not expecting anything else from the family since we all switched to only getting presents for kids a couple of years ago

I'd hoped to turn up but the snow this past weekend meant that she who must be obeyed has moved our christmas family trip to next weekend

Christmas has come early though apparently the missus says she's going to wrap them up and make we wait...
