From my experience:

Rapha is best - looser fitting cycling cut and medium quality merino (better than Howies)
Icebreaker - More slim fitting and warmer than Rapha or Howies. Wearing two of these and a gilet is enough for current London weather. Best quality merino
Howies - Itchy merino and tends to shrink more in the wash than Howies or Rapha. Overpriced for what you get.

Hey,

Pls can I request a daily commute route from W Hampstead (W End Lane/o2 centre) to Moorgate?

Cheers,
:D

Hi,

Anyone have a room to rent urgently in London? Ideally I would like to move this weekend :D

I am a 25 yo professional working in the city. Looking to put in increased mileage for when I become a roadie in the spring :)

Budget is up to £800 pm.

Thanks :P

Franchise? Geared?

....

Cool :D

Although for the record, Cable St to Narrow St sucks as a commuter route already, use Commercial Rd or Mile End Rd.

..I have a pair of the SealSkinz gloves and that is what i wore this morning......hands still very cold......
Wear Merino liner gloves under Sealskinz ... Sealskinz on their own are not that insulating

LOL :)

I want to see this outside Hamleys on Regent St :)

Erm... That isn't the 1k Ribble... :)

Dolan Mythos looks suspiciously like the Planet-X... Must be from the same factory.

I would go CAAD9...

True, but not many bankers cut carbon steerers ;)

Fail rate for carbon steerers increases with overspacing

Nice Burls

Condor need to hold back on the spacers, every bike that comes out of there is over-spaced :)

FSA Orbit X comes in 1 inch

Shimano is best, but eats Miche lockings for breakfast ;)

1/8 16t Surly new... £12 posted

More likely closer to 5k with the carbon wheelsets...

Although there does seem to be an inordinate amount of posers with double barrelled surnames in RP at the weekends...

Hey,

Can anyone recommend a route from Leeds (Alwoodley) to Harrogate on fixed 48x18, without too many hills?

This was ok last week,

Thanks :)

Also, can anyone recommend any good fixed routes around Otley, Ilkey?

Yes 1" only. Thread over.

I use Sidi Genius with SPD-SL. Its best to use something like Kool Kovers/Koffee Kovers when walking for further than 5m :), although its still like walking around in high heels (i think)

BTW, CRC is way cheaper for Sidi

Tektro do a cross top in 31.8 from CRC.

I have run Miche/Condor hubs on Open Pros, I think with the Miche Pistards the rims are heavy as fuck.
