First outing in a few months, in its new home, Auckland, New Zealand

Most stuff sold or taken - thanks to all those I've dealt with.

Rest is now packed up and will be coming home with me to NZ.

Thread can be closed (how do I do that???)

Original post updated. Most bits sold now so thanks to those buyers I've met so far - you've all been great to deal with.

Just a few bits left, most now going for free

Cheers man, good to meet you!

Yeah, I can post the brake at cost tomorrow.

Prices and sold bits updated. Leaving the country on Monday so wanting to get rid of as much stuff as possible; offers welcome.

Still going, PM incoming

Right, so both front and rear wheels appear pretty true (to my eye). Both rims have plenty of braking surface and bearings roll fine. Added two more close ups of the rims to the album. Let me know you want to come look at them?

Average condition as they've done quite a few miles. I'll check braking surface and trueness tomorrow in daylight and add more pics.

List updated, some prices reduced and a few more bits added.

Did this sell?

Ahahaha oops nice autocorrectfail on my part.

"There are no skipping methods available for your cart or destination".

We can't complete the purchase of formal club membership, with the shop's current setup (assume @fasih encountered same problem)

Hmmm, I want to "buy" formal club membership but can't get past "there are no shipping methods available for your cart or destination" on shopify
:/

Aha, that must be why I could enter. How do they get away with organising events outside of CTT?

Anywho, I am keen to enter more TTs so I guess I'll have to wait for smaller events to get a few times to my name. Firstly need to join a club.

Apart from triathlons, I've only ever entered a 10mile TT in Richmond park about a year ago. Can't remember what club organised it (or how I managed to enter it) but I completed it in 29:08

Sweet. I'll look into joining the LFGSS CC then

Oh OK, thanks for the info. Is the LFGSS club CTT affiliated?

I'd like to enter some TT events, is http://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/ the best place to look? Is anyone allowed to enter the events on the website? I find it a little confusing/daunting.

I am a BC (Gold) member but not affiliated with any club. I noticed someone mentioned the Team VeloVelocity E2/25 event on the 5th September, I'm going to try entering that on the website.

This evening, while cycling south on City Road riding primary at about 25mph, I go to change lanes into the bus lane and very nearly come off my bike... going over the bus lane road marking. A taxi was right up my arse too and I would've been straight under it, but I somehow managed to regain traction and balance. Lifted the heartrate somewhat I tells ya.

Was after a bit of rain, over a recently painted line marking (in my view too thick), hitting it at a low angle and on fully pumped up gator hardshells.

Reminded me of how easily accidents can happen, it's such a common manoeuvre you wouldn't think twice about it.

csb etc etc

It does seem high, especially for cycling. I would expect that for the run leg. What threshold HR would you usually expect?

I find my race day HR always a bit higher than when training hard. Plus it was a fairly hot cycle yesterday. Too many factors to be sure

My cycle average HR yesterday was 153! Maxed at 174.

Cool, thanks. Interestingly, for the whole 72min my average was higher than my 60min... I guess that makes sense, going harder at the beginning and end must've bumped the total average up. Think I'll stick with 240w for now and see how that feels training.

How does everyone else here estimate their ftp?

Oh yeah, forgot to add, the p2m type s is great, so easy to install and use. I'm a fan of GXP too.

Had my first proper outting on my p2m at the London Triathlon today. Having never used power before, today was more for curiosity, but I intend to train with power more often now. For that I know I'll need to estimate FTP to set up my zones; would I be able to use the triathlon as a starting point? What should I look at, 60min avg or 20min? I wasn't going ALL out, but fairly close to it.

Thanks. I did notice the protruding pin and wonder why. I've never had a chain drop off that side of the chainring (yet) though.

Will have to wait and see with the shifting, it has been used already so hoping it functions OK.
