    Was it not said on a previous thread a couple of weeks ago that an employer cannot stop employees talking about salaries?

    1693g the pair according to Westbrook cycles.
    I’m pretty sure Iron cross rims shouldn’t be inflated to 100 psi.
    At least weighing 18 stone I’ll be alright on Mavics.

    I’m in the same boat as you Rob and struggling myself.
    I reckon if you could stretch to 230 then Open Pros on Pro 2 Evo is the way to go.
    You can run then disc or rim that way.
    Merlin or Westbrook cycles

    Crank Brother Pic Premium. Lovely bit of kit: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/crank-brothers-pica-premium-tool/rp-prod68933

    Yep, looks lovely that.
    But at £45 you could get 2x Crank Bros 19 tools, unless you really need to save 6 grammes.

    I’m needing 85 miles in the next 2 days to hit 500 this month.
    Going to leave it to next month to start eating into my January deficit.

    You didn’t read the reviews I take it?
    Second hand Stihl off eBay would be where I’d look to put my money.

    So I came in tenth with 355miles.
    Started late and had a week off due to back pain.
    Feeling good for it though and hoping to get to 500 in Feb and make up the shortfall in a couple of months.
    Well done to everyone so far and I agree with Ton, you can’t do 1000miles a month a have a full time job. 8O

    Not too well at Alver Valley, lots of dog walkers and not that many good bits for my liking. The MOD area was a bit better but I ended up cycling along Lee seafront and going along the cliffs towards Warsash then back home.
    An hour and a half was enough for me with the wind this morning… :oops:

    hi John,went up to Beacon Hill and Old Winchester hill on the road bike just to get a bit of mileage in, weather great for road riding. Going over to Alver Valley first thing in the morning, if you fancy going again early doors then let me know and we’ll meet up.

    The wife orders calendars from them every year as gifts for family etc.
    Speed of delivery and price have always been great IMO.
    Hope that helps…

    Hi Bikebouy and gang,
    I’ll come along if that’s ok, what with it being local to me (stubbington).

    See you there

    So a saddle to bb of 865mm puts me out, balls!
    Being 6ft 9in has certain downsides.

    Hargroves cycles in fareham have a good small club with Sunday rides and Tuesday/Thursday rides focusing on hill climbing and speed work.

    PePPeR just beat me to it, had my Victorinox for nearly 15 years and have had numerous Gerbers and Leathermans in that time that turn out to be made of cheese and given away to friends etc.

    Just make sure you’re not sporting a big bush as you’ll find it all poking through the lycra in no time at all :oops: .

    Continental travel contact.

    I had a similar response from “Tony” to a wanted ad. Just ignored as blatantly a scam.

    Continental travel contact 700×42 have always been my first choice for fast road riding on my 29er, they do a 700×37 also.
    Never had a puncture riding these.
