Cos a cross bike with flat bars looks plop!! You should have known…

Where was he on that list that was leaked a while ago, it was showing how the tour organisers had rated potential dopers.
IMO he’s clean.

I’ve just swapped back to 53/39 as like mrmo says with a compact the gaps are too big.

I’ve just stuck them on mine so I’m about to find out, the UST go on far easier than schwalbe I can tell you that.

I’m glad he’s racing the TDF to be honest, disappointing if he proves to be a cheat but he won’t be the first…………….or last in any sport. They all cheat at the top level, football, F1 the lot!!

Mr. Tambourine Man for me… :-)

Has anyone rode the three peaks on CX tubeless? it has to worth a go with Highrollers at 80+ psi.

Hi Guys

We managed to recover around 70% of photos using recuva in the end, although it’s been a mess sorting them all out at least all was not lost.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Guys we’ll try them all, it appears we were victims of a Trojan type virus thing… :cry:

Redthunder, YGM Ta

it’s always been XTR for me with gentle clean & just a drop of 3 in 1 every now & again… :-)

Larsen Mimo aren’t bad, I’ve even still got some Green Wildgripper sprints which are really fast & v light.

The Graeme Obree story The Flying Scotsman is very good IMO, bit of a nutter but you have to admire him for it.. :-)

Check out the results of the Three Peaks Cyclo Cross, there’s a M70 category.

Ride hills as much of the above suggests. You could try finding a decent middle ring climb (say five + minutes), ride it on the steady side of hard & time how long it takes, then repete climb until you can no longer keep within that time, steady ride home.. :-)

I have real grief getting Racing Ralph’s on my Stan’s rims, soapy water helped but not much. Gonna try some different rubber next time..

Love that hei hei

Do you think people moaned about this 100’s of years ago when some of the ancient roads were first established.
I’m not saying carve up the country side but we gotta live a :-)bit….

Really nice looking bike but is that risers & bar ends? :?

Most of the Trojan box sets are pretty good;

100mm XC Hardtail is allyou need… :-)

Just gotta fight it man!! it gets easier. I used to be a social smoker it took ages to crack stopping altogether.

Not gettin it hear, i’m with GW..

Bikes n Beer.. :-)

Have the window open so it’s a little cold(but not freezing) leave your feet/lower leg out from under the covers until they are cold (proper cold) then pop them back under the covers….sleep will be your soon as. Works for me…. :-)

i like Greendale :-)

I didn’t find the Spesh shoes that good TBH, Northwave are good as are sidi, shimano are very small sizes i.e. you need at least one size biger than normal.
Using these at the mo which are v good IMO.

Pretty sure I read that Beryl Burton top women cyclist in the 50-70s died of a heart attack that was caused by her training over many years when she was ill. Think it caused some abnormality in her heart.

Epic evo if you want full sus.. :-)

I’d go Cross Bike. On dry fire rolling track type rides they can be really fast. I use one on Salisbury plain that goes like concrete during the summer so the CX is fast & smooth.

That said I also like the look of the Niner Air.. :-)

In line with the angle as your arms or a tad lower i always go for. :-)

The Suburbs/Arcade Fire

VN Zion

£300 at a guess. It’s a few years old 2002ish I’d reckon

Expect mud, i rode around Erlestoke woods two days ago & it’s very sh*tty.

I think I’ll be going, not ridden it for a few years, gonna ride my CX bike.
I was up that way today & its really soft so skinny tyres are a must. :wink:

Looks like a nice bike esp for the money. :-)Just sort that saddle angle out 8O!
