I have the Shimano M310's which are very comfortable and custom fit. I tried specialized shoes on the road bike and they just don't fit my feet as well as Shimano ones which is why I have custom fit Shimano road shoes also.

I have Gore gear cables on the MTB and they are fantastic, fit and forget 🙂
I use Shimano Dura Ace cables on the road bike and they are also silky smooth and seem to be lasting well however I don't ride the road bike in the rain so much.

second the Merlin malt 1 its on special at the moment, looks good.

if your not falling off you are not trying hard enough!

oh no Labour!!!!

Go for it, it's a great bike. Embrace the road 🙂

I think that the colour photo is better, great detail.

Blue,

Two days ago, after the steep part of the climb.

As far as I know when you delete a friend on Facebook they will never know, unless they have been watching your profile.

Salami

11kgs, so 25ish lbs.

I've been using this site in Romania and its pretty good
bike routes using google maps

In true singletrack world fashion, I don't have one of these but….
what about using road bar tape or tennis grip tape?

second the Endura MT500s

nice and warm.

Paul,
I found this site was good.

I think that there is someone in the car, the brake lights are on.
Reading through the comments below the video seems to indicate there was someone in the car.

I hope before they started filming they called the police.

I can see how it would happen and the truck driver would have no idea the car was there you just wouldn't see it.

I have had both a TOMTOM one and a Garmin Nuvi and prefer the Garmin maps but the TOMTOM interface.

However maps are more important for me so I've stuck with the Garmin Nuvi

I feel sorry for the child.

Some excellent photos
here is one of mine

The Dipper

Great bikes,
here's mine

The advert it a little strange, I can see what they are trying to do but I am not sure bank robbers is the way to show it. Until car/van/bus/truck drivers experience what it is like to be passed so close or have someone pull out on you they will never understand.

The article on the BBC says

In total, 5,569 motorists were caught, but only those who drove faster than 60mph – about 2,800 people – will be prosecuted because of limited resources.

So you can get away with 59MPH then? doesn't seem to make sense to me.

And I do wonder if they were working all the time or if at night they stopped working and as such how many people were caught over night.

Pook, I liked your video. A nice chilled ride. Looked like a lot of fun.

on another thread earlier this week someone was suggesting using a powerball.

No problems unless you went under ground like at Tignes up to Glacier.

Have fun and enjoy looking back to see how fast you go. 🙂

Edit, I just had the edge in my pocket, and didn't have the maps as i just used a piste map.

tastes better hot

4/7 however only because it was multiple choice.

Well i honestly feel he should never be allowed to drive again however given the way that the so called justice system is in the UK that will never happen so we have accept that this is a fair punishment.

Do we actually believe stopping him from driving will actually stop him from driving?

Justice 🙂
