I have the Endura knee warmers. Very impressed. Preferred them to the more expensive options from Gore and Sportful that I tried. Pretty sure mine are the larger size and I have fairly skinny legs, so def size up.

This happens to me or us when group riding occasionally. I think the sight of men in Lycra must just really wind some idiots up! Just the sight of us!
Plus there’s the whole underlying attitude of cars being the only acceptable form of transport on roads, bikes just being for recreation and in some way not valid.
I always respond/react which will get me in trouble some day!

Just asked the fella why he laced his wheels that way. ;)

Why is Red Bull TV so glitchy?!! Saw Fairclough and then nothing. Watching via android smart phone with good connection, what’s going on? Not the first time I’ve found their live streams effing crap!!!

Agreed Monkeyboy but was just wanting to make sure it wasn’t the result of something not working. Doesn’t happen in any other gear and I’ve played around with the b tension screw with no effect.
Guess I’ll just not back pedal!
Thanks for all your replies so far

Duncan, I think the freehub is fine but how could I check?

It’s an slx triple that I’ve put a 32 race face narrow/wide ring on.

Thanks for the replies

Esp Gideon Coe from 9 – great dj and music – my wife gets sick of all the scraps of paper with new (to me) band names scrawled on littering the kitchen for future reference.
How do people listen to commercial radio playing the same ole’ dirge?

If you can’t claim under warranty don’t panic. Exact same thing happened to my 09 575 – where the carbon meets the ally housing at the main pivot end. Luckily my mate is a bit of a whizz with fixing things and used epoxy to glue it back in. He also cut ally plate to fit both sides to brace the two joining points to make sure it stayed put – if i’d have attempted that it would have been a real dogs dinner but luckily alongside my friends’ obvious skill he’s a perfectionist so the result looks amazing, not bodged at all and more importantly it has stayed fixed for the last 7 months – i’m of average weight but ride quite aggressively so have definitely tested it well.
If you want i could pass on his details to you along with photos of the fix.
Btw yeti def lost my respect they way they have handled this obvious design fault.

You’re not alone!
Love to buy British but they dang iratatin’.
