Spicer’s post also suggests Loughborough only has one dodgy part of town, and I can think of at least four. 🙂

I will not stand for this.

And Porno is ruined. For now.

Depends which off-piste. Some dries pretty quickly after rain. There are other parts I’ve only seen dry for one week a year!

You can pick up a pretty good quality road bike for a few hundred quid these days (Boardman, Specialized, Giant, Decathlon, etc). Saves getting rid of the mtb. As for SWMBO, surely you earn your own cash, and spend it how you like?

Why are you braking on a road bike??

27.0 post?

Ooh I can see that mans cock!

Did you get it completely dry? Well done if so!

Knees.

Lucky Trevor! 😯

I’ve been looking for something similar. I’ve found these but they ship from China, so may as well get the US version.

Can you get a gpx of the route from Strava or similar?

I’m facing the same decision on my road bike. You won’t be able to stop thinking about the new stem until you buy it and fit it. When fitted you will feel better and you will also like your bike more, and ride it more!

Sizing looks pretty sensible. Wouldn’t you want a CX bike to be a bit more ‘flingable’ off-road? Ie, buy a smaller sized frame.

No mention of Aru? Be interesting to see him match Froome.

I’m in the same boat and am experimenting with saddle tilt to get the saddle resting on the ‘right bits’. Amazing how much 1 or 2 degrees of tilt forward or back can change where your sit bones engage with the saddle.

Is it a carbon fork steerer? Which expander device did you use to attach everything? Thinking of going down the carbon fork route.

Chassis?

It also has one of the steepest off piste descents in the UK!

You end up riding with muppets?

Go for the lightest one and/or the one in the nicest colour.

I’d only choose discs over Ultegra rim brakes if I was going to be riding in the wet. They do look good on road bikes though!

I think it would be a bit off to delete this thread when it informs any potential buyer of the misleading website information.

Has the website wording been changed now to confirm it is a Chinese frame?

A mini pump you can fit on the bike and forget about until you need it.

A saddle bag filled with inner tube, chain tool, emergency energy gel, emergency tenner, zip ties, etc.

Hi vis cycling top.

Anti friction bum cream.

Which bit of Cannock is boogienights trail on? Have you got a gpx?

Is that Cannock?

Why’s the chainset on the back??

There are cheap chinese copies around for about £3/4 on Amazon,etc, these are the shit ones with the ‘noggin’/protrusion at the bottom which is not deep enough. The Garmin boxed ones from Wiggle etc for £8+ all work fine.

Up from Glenridding, down Dollywagon Pike. Is there another way?

Guy Martin, top right, wearing blue.

Very good in my experience.

Burnley-born Alker, publisher at Singletrack, said: “We grew steadily for the first decade but in the last two years we’ve had unprecedented growth. So much so, that I’ve just bought a ferrari, and because it was facing the wrong way I bought another one.”
