    I fitted Chromos to my Charge Scourer, which I think has the same disc placement – I just bended the bit of wire on the disc-side mount around the disc

    Much of the major Pentlands routes can be done on a cx.

    If it is just East Lothian you are after, get in touch with Coastkid/Coastrider (google will direct you) for advice. There is also An East Loth Facebook group

    Can’t offer advice about funding, but this was my route to fame…

    – Scrapped through school with an unimpressive four ‘C’ GCSEs
    – Retook English over the summer as I’d only got a ‘D’ (retake achieved a ‘C’)
    – Poor A-levels, two ‘D’; one ‘U’!!
    – The next year, retook two A-Levels, dropped the U, did a differnt 3rd one in just a year – got ‘C’s if I recall
    – One year at Uni, dropped out after a year because the course was poor – brand new course poorly put together at a Uni the had just switched from being a Poly
    – Accepted on another course at a Red Brick on the basis that I wasn’t a total doser as I had passed the first year last year with 2:1
    – Got a 2:1
    – Did a PhD at a Red Brick
    – Became an academic (although I’m not anymore BTW)

    so if you were a skinny racing snake with a 36″ chest which put you at the top of a small or the bottom of medium (which also somehow fits a 39″) which one fits – is the small help-cant-breath tight or the medium newbie-baggy-flappy? And I’ve never dissed Rapha on here, ever, absolutely no hypocrisy here, move along, nothing to see.

    Small, which I what I have in them. 36″ chest, 9.5 stone, 5’8″

    edit: that would be race fit but not Italian fit

    Whenever funerals are mentioned I am minded of the last funeral I attended, although no toilet issues were involved.

    Picture the scene. In our seats, we had to bow our heads for some moment of quiet contemplation or other. Open backed chairs, my aunty (she was about 55yo, me 35yo then) was sat directly in front of me.

    As she bowed, her blouse raised at the back. As I bowed my head at this solemn moment, my face was forced tight against her now revealed builders cleavage and string thong

    It was only with snowboarding that I discovered that I had fallen arches, which you may have.

    Superfeet do a cheap (~£30) footbed that is molded in-store. For me, this moved the pain onset from 12pm to 3pm. These will help you decide if you want to splash on proper custom footbeds, which I will be.

    Also, I have toe straps and boots laced pretty loose now whereas they were proper man-tight before.

    Broke fingers/hand/wrist the day before a snowboarding holiday. Had to cancel.

    Had a second booked three weeks later which I went on – hid the cast at the airport just in case and wore a massive mit on that hand while riding

    I enjoyed the NQ one. Been a few times, although living in Edinburgh makes that easier.

    Dont rush straight to the sharks, which can be over too soo. Spend a good time at the other stuff too. Fills at least two hours.

    Search for 2 for 1 tickets, etc.

    Reminds me of the youth I saw darting in and out of traffic wearing a painters respirator mask. Raised a smile when he rear-ended a stopped car in front, prone on the floor in tshirt/shorts and the mask

    1kg is heavy for bikepacking. Alpkit’s Rig is certainly more spendy but a reasonable balance of price/weight and is made of material that dries out quicker

    Not proper road tyres, but canal path mtb tyres. Schwalbe City Jet are cheap (~£11-15) and hard-wearing. Sixe 1.75 or 1.5. Have them on my commuter. Put plenty of air in though

    Nothing new to be concerned about. The commenter is a well-know cyclist-hater and proven unstable moron with criminal convictions for attacking cyclists.
