    Sorry, should have kept quiet about the result 🙁

    Bought a Wheeler (Euro brand) after an insurance pay out some years ago. It was a pig to ride – improved it by taking the bits off, selling the frame and buying a P7.

    great win by Vettel, about the only driver to keep it pointy end first throughout the race – and still faster than everybody. Best season for 10 years.

    Funny, I thought he had been hampered by duff machinery in the past. I would rate him ahead of DC in his heyday, and given Button’s only win before this season was Hungary in the wet I reckon that says a bit about his driving style – on camera he looks very smooth. The Hamilton circus just really irritates me!
    But then I prefer Motogp and superbikes……

    Trimix – thanks for the offer, but we’re looking for self drive for the week.

    Try the BBB version of the ergon grips. I’ve solved a problem with my wrists using them, had to try various positions but got there in the end and a lot more comfortable now.

    S’cool riding alone – different experience all together, if that’s not stating the obvious.

    Lucky my a*** – 3 class goals. Don’t worry if you didn’t see the last one in particular, it’ll be replayed a few times….. 🙂

    Alabama 3 – no idea what label to give it, but it makes me smile. Turn it up loud. Zero 7 for some laid back stuff.

    I’ve got an 03 (or is it 04???) Marathon I used on mine, or a practically as new (honest) Reba Race 07 with disc and v mounts both around 100mm if you’re interested. Both suited the SL well. Mail is andybu@gmail.com for further info!

    I had relatively few problems getting everything to work first time around. Changing tyres was a nightmare – had to start all over again, and now have problems losing pressure over a few days. Gone back to tubes, but will try again sometime cos the ride is better on tubeless imho.

    Try a different suspension design. I like single pivots, couldn’t get on at all with a Spesh 4 bar or whatever it is. Different designs have different characteristics.

    One could have (not ‘of’) used a hyphen, could one not, in place of the comma?
    Thus ‘- and’.

    Get my drift?

    Go Button, been struggling with second rate machinery for too long.

    I’m going the other way…. Have stripped my Superlight because it’s not being used – using the h/tail for most rides, although to be fair I’m doing shorter rides (couple of hours) than when I bought the SL/Rebas. I’m about to build up a Rift Zone with Revs for those more adventurous rides I WILL be doing this summer…… That’s the plan anyway.

    Yup need the antenna converter…. Everything’s ISO, so I’ll just swap it all over.

    Cycling isn’t dangerous, it’s the things that stop you cycling which do the damage.

    Put a fat tubeless tyre at lowish pressure into the equation and things would start to even out though.
