Hard core headwind and a bit of sideways rain.

When will our hero return?

This is too big for me but very nice indeed (i own a kg233 with Brain). Also, i did GF this year, the perfect italian event and respect for not making life easier for yourself on carbz. God the Fauniera is a monster!

Advice 300£ for a 2009 Look 585 Origin excellent condition? Buy?

capitalism innit?

Could hear a car approaching for a totally needless close pass (to get ahead to a 100m queue of stopped vehicles at lights). As it came past very close, < 20cm, i punched the side of the car and gave a hearty 'fuck off cunt'. Turned and there was a small kid in the passenger seat, mum on the phone. All rather surprised at this turn of events.

I felt guilty but perhaps, given above, they learnt a valuable lesson?

yep

UK?

Here are my 2010 DA wheels. Last generation of deep alloy DA. The rims are more or less worn out, the front more so than the back weirdly. It would be such a shame for these, quite frankly, beautiful hubs to go to waste though. Need a clean and probably a service. There is a front at my flat, similiar condition will post additional photos when I have a chance.

Machined alloy shell with titanium freewheel body
Front: 16 holes
Rear: 20 holes
10 speed

DA skewers included.

£40 in Brixton

I also enjoyed the epic tailwind and love my specialist, upmarket commuting lycra so much I'm going to wear it to a posh West end restaurant for dinner.

This is so cool.

I just returned from doing the 4 rivers and really enjoyed it. Impressive level of infrastructure, not high on the adventure scales but great fun and pretty beautiful (particularly in the middle of the country). Possibly the easiest place i've ever travelled with no local language.

Speaking of adventure, I lived in central Vietnam for about 18mths. If you want an amazing ride, albeit fairly remote and challenging, there is the Ho Chi Minh Highway that run parallel to the Laos border (https://goo.gl/maps/miYn6F9S2tu). For a country and densely populated as Vietnam it is surprisingly quiet and idyllic. The scenery tho....

I've been running 60mms for years, i find them fine in crosswinds. They are actually really stable in most conditions, it feels like the wheel is trying to centre. IMO,It would only be a problem in a really fierce crosswind if you decided to take your hands off the handlebars

Have a new commute that takes me from Camden to Brixton, through central london for the first time in 4 years living here. Oh my word, it is anarchy among our two wheeled comrades, not to mention the pedestrians. When did wobbly undertaking become acceptable? Why the utter desperation to get to the front of red light queues?

I miss how impeccable the condition of the roads are in Australia, even the gravel roads! I've only just crawled out of the sinkhole i crashed into last December in Kent!

thanks, im evidently also lazy

I'm bored, where has the mamnick thread gone?
