...but as some fool asked for my advice on components, here it is. 1. carbon does not belong on a bike. don't ask me why, it just doesn't. 2. components on a bike should be silver or black. cables white. colours are so.. ghay. and no-one, not even a gay person, wants to look [i]that[/i] ghay. 3. never buy a freewheel with a larger rear cog than 28. it marks you out as an unfit newbie. 4. gripshift-type changers rule. anything else is so 1990's. 5. always use a short cage rear derailleur. it may limit your range of gears but the bike looks so much better. 6. straight bars are not only cool, they ride better. 7. double chainsets on mtb make So Much Sense. when you're going slower than 6 kph, get off and run. 8. bladed spokes should be mandatory. 9. mavic rims should be mandatory. 10. tubeless tyres are pointless. 11. consider suntour. 12. sram are gods. 13. that is all for today.

running alongside a bike is just for w**kers

What about cyclocross?
