SanDisk Clip Sport. 8gb, SD card slot, good earphones

yes, too sweet. Brune for me

‘recently’ was actually a few years ago. They are fine now

do you not have the ceiling or white bits you could be doing? :wink:

Note that there aren’t loads of water stops between Tweedbank and Inners if you are rely on filtered river water

Good, more options than first thought, many thanks all.

For others reading, the CX1 PG1170 11-36 is the SRAM cassette mentioned above that’s been used successfully with Shimano road 11-sp set ups.

Is that 2* or only 1* ? ta

ghostlymachine, I literally have know idea what you are saying now. In separate posts you say they are inevitable and aren’t inevitable. I’m out

You get enough people doing enough mileage on enough poor roads, you are eventually going to have a wheel overlap, or someone hitting a pothole, or a manhole cover or something. It happens.

You seem to have answered your own question and cycling is dangerous, shit happens. I can’t see how crashes are inevitable for club riders not racing.

Been with my club for 11 months. 200+ people, 5-6 rides a week. 3 crashes:
2 in the cafe/mandatory beginner group both caused by new members not used to group riding (one of those was a newbie riding into a parked car. The other two newbies tapping each other);
the third when a crazy pedestrian jumped out in front of the group to talk to them

I just use arm warmers for these scenarios

The clock strikes once
Half an hour later it strikes once

Risking making a fool of myself while trying to sound clever…

Won’t the 12th chime of 12:00 be at 12:00:12? One hour later means hearing the 2nd chime of 14:00 at 14:00:02 (with another 10 seconds until an hour has passed at 14:00:12)

A serial killer in ‘Cracker’ lived next door when I was a student in Liverpool. :P

If you get it back it now belongs to the Insurance and you could arrange to buy from them? But why would you have to return the payout?

EDIT: crossed posts

If you don’t want to spend on posh roadie bibs (which don’t typically have silicon), look at the mid- and higher-end Decathlon shorts

Which pubs that jamiep? So I don’t go there.

The Hanging Bat on Lothian Road. Beer was nice, but I wasn’t paying for a lecture from a man in a waxed beard

There’s a pub like that near me. 2/3 costs just under the ‘normal’ price of a pint so it doesn’t seem too expensive but actually is.

As it only serves hipster artisan brands I’d never heard of I asked for “something like Innis & Gunn” (not totally unreasonable – this is Edinburgh and that is a small Edinburgh brewery).
Instead of my 2/3 pints I received a detailed lecture from the barman on exactly why I&G’s brewing practices where sub-standard

this would be much more pleasant than following the A90 all the way. The standard route for our club runs out West from Edinburgh and back

Ask for a definition of “work as much as possible”.
If this is reasonable and the work is available, crack on.
If this is reasonable but the work is not available, ask what else one could do.
If this is over and above what was required previously and previously there was no performance issue, then they can’t just dock pay.

I *think* it has been reviewed on road.cc

Some have reported good things. Two of the three of mine developed holes after ONE wash (on the 30d wool cycle)

Top tip for commuters is — when new it is worth strippîng them and applying anti sieze to all threads – stops the road glue **** em and keeps them adjustable by fingers

Absolutely. I needed to replace the rear calliper because of this at the end of a winter CX riding

I have both (and the nanoflex armwarmers too). If I was only allowed to buy one, I’d get the SS and armwarmers (or similar Sportful armwarmers – I have those as well, slightly thicker than the Castelli version)

CRC used to have Ragley ones

What will it be for? 1.5kg is heavy

see if Aldi still have the 25 for £80 left from Sunday?

yesterday

Male and never done it. Always managed to control myself for the ~1.5m walk to the toilet

Not silly cheap. Recently got mine from Evans for £73 when the planets briefly aligned with the offers they had on.

And it is small, and fits

Happy with Eastpak Tranverz Small. Light and take-on size. Around £60 if you shop around

I am small in both, just like I am small in everything else. I’ve a climbers, not sprinters, build. The go a size up advice seems to derive from those who have wide shoulders or wide belly, not runts like me.

Castelli is slightly slimmer than Rapha generally. Rapha depends on the range – Pro range is slim, City range is a touch more relaxed (but still slim)

Could be worse, could be Nelly The Elephant by Toy Dolls

just use the links on moneysavingexpert to compare. Holidaysafe, a best buy recommendation on there, was most suitable for me – more cover than others for my snowboarding equipment. Watch out as many policies don’t provide new for old – utterly pointless

shimano m530 pedal isn’t half half but might be ok – clips and flats combined

Sounds like you aren’t doing serious roadie miles, so go for SPD rather than SPD-SL. The cleat is recessed in the sole, so easier to walk in, and pedals double-sided so easier if you are clipping in/out during the ride.

NB both types of cleats can do bought with float (most do have typically) for your knees

cheap but actually pretty good SPD pedals

they are different
pic one – roadie pedals, called SPD-SL
pic two – mtb pedals, called SPD

I liked the Surly Singleator. Spendy but justified because it gives both push up and push down options. That may not be important to you.

But it requires a thin 18mm cone spanner to adjust. I fashioned one from a small oddment of metal plate to keep on a keyring so I didn’t have to carry a larger spanner
