the man himself says it is on ….

work commute again
misty morning hop
tt skinsuit guy

move the cleat back a little too ….

been a few times. stayed at the Rocce Azzure on Lipari.
Flew to Catania, coach to Milazzo via Messina (beautiful and
worth a visit too …) then Aliscaf service to the islands.

The “bus” from sicily out was an eye opener – hydrofoils in
rough water aren’t that smooth !!

Volcano and Stromboli are worth a visit as are some of the
smaller boat trips around the islands. Can’t comment on what
it’s like in “high” season as I’ve only ever been Oct/Nov time
at it was wonderfully relaxing.

If it’s still there … The Chittara Bar on Salita S. Giuseppe
is “rustically” quaint :)

just remember to haggle …..

Keos have a raised rib vertically on either side of the cleat
indicating the center line.
It’s just about level with the forward edge of the rear screw
holes.

Have a look at the image for the grip cleats

+1 elite cuissi (or any elite really :) )

oi … I resemble that remark, oh wait … no I don’t … last time
out I got both knees down :-)

this was getting good … and I’ve still got at least one packet of
choccie hobnobs to go … :)

still waiting on a refund that was promised for a freeview aerial
installation that was part of the deal (guy arrives, sucks teeth and
says – 2 man job, you’ll need to rebook and that’ll be £120 on top
of the £60 already paid for the installation) I think my wife said
something like “you can leave now … ” !!!

3 occasions of 2 hours or more talking to “Graham” and “Michael” from
somewhere on the sub-continent. If I could dump them I would. Complete
shower of sh1t3. The only reliable service I have is the landline :(

btw – what’s the exec’s email address – I may need that :)

isn’t mtb 11 speed different to road 11 speed ?

BW in Bristol, best cash ever :)
solved a lingering neck/shoulder issue by just looking at me sat on
my bike in his turbo rig – Brilliant. Whilst at it though sorted out
a “non firing glut” and a couple of other muscle related issues.

I did have the fit pretty much dialled in anyway but a small saddle
change up and forward was all that I really needed.

The stretches/exercises advice was more benefit than anything else
though and would recommend it on that alone. Problem with that is
that not all fitters do this side of things. One of BW’s is a sports
physio :)

nearly 2 years since my mtb came out …. much more
fun on the roadie club ride – no it’s not dull as,
just pick your riding buddies and it’s just as
much fun oh and roadies can get just as filthy even
with guards on !!!!

they can take my 26″, straight steerer, 135×9
tinbred when they pry it from my cold dead spd’s :D

norbar … they’ll recalibrate it for you any time you want.

check mine daily and log it on the iPhone.
post stent fitting so was asked to keep an eye on it.

use an omron basic, £20 something from amazon add it’s the same as the surgery use !!

knew a Nick Crook years ago, and yes, he was a police officer :)

used the epic on both mtb (slx) and road rs785 – worked perfectly :)

for fear of being hunted down … get someone to look at your
“fit”.

most try to emulate the pros with 120mm or more of saddle
to bar drop without the same levels of flexibility.
i may be able to touch my toes but an aliante is perfect and an
arione agony so. .. don’t believe the hype either.

is the current too far back, too high, wrong shape … there are so
many things in a road fit that don’t apply in the muddy world.

and about the state of those steps, btw .. nice bike

one of Dom’s Bokehs ? yes i know it’s aluminium but if it’s anything
like the definition i have it rides superbly.

have the same in my back garden. so far spotted fox, squirrel
and rat. not caught any actually digging though !

gave up on internet shoes years ago …. go to the shop, try and buy now :)

+1 the Mason – I have one and have done several 100km audaxes without
any issues at all (well until health buggered me up !!!) got a couple
of 200km’s lined up for this year.

+1 the repair kit in the bag and +1 spare tube in the desk drawer. :-)
gatorskins were slippy in the wet, gp4 seasons are good but expensive,
conti ultrasport cut quite easily, recently went tubeless so time will
tell !

oh myyyy …. i don’t feel very well !

masons’ bokeh would get my cash, but then I’m biased as i
already have a definition ;)

not have heart problems …..

got some of the on one mkm thingies on my tinbred … great for the
Bristol trails :)

you could also try the specialized in shoe wedges … ?

got a 1/35th panzerkampfwagen vi … haven’t built a model in
nearly 30 years. what could possibly go …. ;)

run my garmins (touring and 800) on 4GB :)

once setup to do turn by turn (properly) the navigation is as good
as any of the previous Edge units.
Can usually get 8+ out of mine, more if you don’t have it showing
the maps pages all the time.

just for info …. flat mount fork can take a post mount caliper – shimano
do a mount adapter for just such an occasion :) (I know – my Mason now
sports one !!)

rs405 and rs805 are flat mount. If your frame is compatible then they
should be fine.

rs785 and xt785 are almost identical except the hose enters the
inboard side on the RS785 via a straight connection unlike the
XT which is a banjo on the outside. something to do with heel
clearance I believe.

bike24 seem to have them in stock.

oouufffff …. :)

+1 northwave …. have the yellow commuter ones – Brilliant, but
road cleats do make walking a bit of a p.i.t.a. !!!
found defrosters leak – which was odd, but replaced by the shop without
question :)

tempted by the shimano rw5’s …..

run you fool …. ;)

qr skewer through the axle to hold the tool in place ?

really, really, REALLY wanted a Rourke, but opted for the Mason Definition
in the end …. haven’t been disappointed in the year or so all weather, all
terrain it’s been on, at or over :)

getting my angina fixed :)
