Pace are having a sale. Not amazing but thought I'd mention it:
http://www.pacecycles.com/shop?category=SALE

Just got a Xiaomi Mi A2 for the wife. Its really nice for the money. Now I have to buy a better phone. Can't be having a less good phone. That'll never do.

Did this with a couple of mates at the weekend. Left off midday from Twickenham (one of our crew was running very late and needed his bike fixing). Very chilled pace with a few beers and some food along the way. Only made it to Shere before my mate was too tired. So we got a bit drunk and wild camped in some fields just outside Shere. Really easy going after that. Miles flew by and we were in Brighton before long. Path is currently closed a mile or two from the coast. We bombed down the main road to Brighton instead. It was shit. Don't do that. There will be another way to the coast and a quieter route. Otherwise its a great route. Would definitely do it again rather than go by road.

We 'mostly' went by the BHF gpx file. I say mostly because it wouldn't load on my Garmin (edge 705 - too many waypoints apparently) and my mates' doesn't have maps, just a squiggly line. So we went wrong a few times and took some wonky diversions.

80 miles over just over 8 hours. with 8 beers, some whisky and 4 coffees. 1 campfire. 1 woodland number 2!

Great fun.

I've used mine ever so briefly (going to the shops etc...). Quite good, although taking on and off the bike is a tad slow due to no quick release system. Being careful not to break the hooks also.

The ride I bought them for has now switched to off road so I'm bike packing instead. Rapidly running out of space.

Mine came in a a space invaders box! Somewhat disappointed they didn't include a bag of the crisps, a la Haribo from Wiggle.

I remember the double rim double tyre bikes. I bet they feel awful to ride. Can you imagine the tyre profile? It'd be like a car tyre.

Depends how big the hole is. I've patched mine with glue gun and offcuts of felt before. But the holes were all very small.

Re-felted my tiny shed couple of weeks back. Managed to create a small hole in the process. glue gun glue and scrapings of shed felt aggregate made a nice neat plug.

That looks great.

Any idea what the frame is?

Are you going to clearcoat it?

I figured that may be the case. Personally I have no desire to buy anything Rapha so no idea if it represents value.

Updated.

Forewarning: I just noticed they're a bit of a rip off for postage.

This ebay store appears to have lots of end stock (so lots of XS but some 'normal' sizes also)
Plenty of Rapha gear in there at the moment (not au fait with Rapha prices but I believe mostly its more expensive than this). Probably not current season.

Lots of men's leather shoes too. Great if you're a size 8 as most stuff seems to be (I believe size 8 is the 'sample' size they send to stores, so they make too many). But again a few other sizes.

No connection to the store btw. Nor have I brought from them. Just thought it looked interesting.

This is cool. Is it an old MTB?

Thats a rear wheel on the front right? Has he just stretched the forks to get it in? Complete with a small length of chain on the cog. Lol.

Against a team many pundits have suggested could be the highest finishing promoted team ever. Although didn't Forest finish 2nd one year? Either way there is a gulf in class between Wolves and say Cardiff. Or some other teams that have been promoted in the past. I think they'll do well and stay in the Prem for a fair while.

Also didn't he join Watford straight after having played 17 games for Fluminense? Then play another 38 for Watford? The guy was knackered. Its not like he was the only Watford player to experience a dip in form.

Either way I don't care how he scores them as long as he does (Shearer scored plenty of tap ins worse than that). Plus his second was a great goal. We've been poor at goal scoring since we sold Rom and didn't replace him.

Looks like the left brifter is gutted. I'm guessing it broke rather than a weight saving Lance tribute.

Note the downtube friction shifters haha.

I'll take them if you decide to get rid. Can probably find you some indexed ones too.

Also this looks overtightened. Are you sure its the correct size seatpost?https://i.imgur.com/Ctaiasp.jpg

Everton Wolves was quite entertaining. Thought Wolves would win before the game but Everton did well when down to 10.

Hopefully he doesn't let us down but Richarlason seems like he was worth the money so far.

I'm most shocked by Palace Fulham. Thought Palace were going to struggle badly and Fulham to take to the league quite well. Well played Woy.

Interesting. Are you replacing it? Or maybe going 1x only?

Only this:

The clips aren't great. Just moulded plastic. No locking mechanism. But if you remove them carefully they're fine. I think you could mount hardware from other systems if needs be.

Kind of a T shape hook bit at the bottom which is adjustable.

Can take better photos if you want.

Its possible this has already been discussed but is that shifter boss on the seat tube for a roller dynamo?

Seems odd on a frame like that.

Repairs turned out well. Great work.

Its not the hubs, brakes or forks that are the issue. Get some closed cam QRs and they'll be fine.

I stripped a Raleigh Nightburner back to chrome. It was a semi translucent black finish before (called superchrome I think - so it may be different to normal paint). It looked fine. No scratches beyond what would be normal of a bike that age.

Good find. I googled that code and found a bunch more. Updated daily apparently:

That looks great

Always wanted a BMX scooter like that as a kid. Tempted to build an adult version one day. I take it its being used as a trailer? Pretty resourceful.

Needed some cheap panniers in a rush. Looked at Decathlon, not impressed for the money. Don't have time to wait for post from China.

Found these on ebay. Just collected. Really impressed for the money.

'Ortleib' style waterproof pannier. £10/side. Bargain.
