I was hoping the soaking would break the heat, but instead it's just made it a humid mess outside.

Was a downpour in SE London overnight. Thunder and lightening woke me up.

Andrew, it's all yours.

Friday should be fine, send me a PM. I have a brother in town this weekend so I don't think I will be at the track this weekend or I would bring it there for you.

Had a bike delivered, so anyone need a bike box? Free in SE10.

Helmets should be compulsory for all cyclists in Jersey, according to two Jersey politicians.
Constable John Refault said two recent accidents involving cyclists highlighted the importance of wearing a helmet.

I will one day have a bike with deck of cards lugs.

Chapeau

I was wondering earlier today when this thread was going to get dredged. Longest heat wave in seven years, they say....

You caved! Great deal though, so understandable.

I liked the last iteration of the 3/4 short made out of the Schoeller fabric. The new ones are not as nice IMO. I still think they are great and wear them for commuting all week except in the warmest weather (i.e. now)

If you dropped 13 minutes off your time in 10 months you must be doing something right?

I was going to post that in the Sugino chainring group buy thread but it has been closed. I suspect if it were in there they would be sold out by now.

Ha!

Went down last night after work and watched the highlights on the big screen, the area is nice although there's not all that much there. I suspect it would be better when live action is showing and there are more people around.

Not sure if anyones mentioned it, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - Tour de France fan park starts next Monday at Wood Wharf, 5 mins walk from Canary Wharf station. Should be excellent spot for watching outdoors on a pretty jumbo screen and you have the added delights of sampling cracking grub such as Buttermilk fried chicken from my van, Spit & Roast. Bleeker Burger there too who are ridiculously good, Zan took her inspiration from Shake Shack and ran with it. Discounts of course to any forum peeps, ask for Ross.

I did however get the LFGSS discount at Spit & Roast mentioned there ^ and quite good it was. The burger truck is fine too. Thanks Ross!

I need new cartridge bearings for a DA 7410 headset. From what I can tell these are and have been out of production for a while. I would rather find these than get a new headset. Madison doesn't have them. Any ideas as to where I might be able to find this?

the required bearings for dura ace hp 7410 are part 787-9803 (5/32 x 18 balls)....or you could buy 36 off good quality 5/32 bearings from simplybearings and save yourself a tidy sum

Are you suggesting opening the cartridge and replacing the bearings and repacking? Sorry if I am being a little thick here. From what I can tell the replacement cartridges are now rocking horse poo.

^^^ And Scilly the cartridge was proprietary to Shimano from what I can tell.

Yes that's me.

@PQR I think you were in that rotation behind me. During the break I asked the coach, Sarah, if she was shouting at me, but her ire was directed at the VCL rider behind me. That rotation was well sketchy, there were people in there who shouldn't have been there.

Yes it is CBW. I got a picture of it to work. Here

It's the 15th. And a rest day. Guessing it may be a little quiet there tonight.

Thanks Laurence. Should have mentioned, this would probably suit a seven to nine year old (he's not quite nine in that picture). Will get a pic of its current condition tonight.

I can swap. Pls PM if interested.
