shit! I do have the risers on another bike atm actually, maybe I should at least take them off that...
Also in that^^ picture the coat I'm wearing is a bit too big and I had stuff in the breast pockets, which meant riding on the aerobars every pedal stroke my knees would hit the pockets - it's quite low.

Good in a headwind.
Not so great in gusting random sidewinds blowing the Spinergy all over the place.Also good for scaring city workers crossing the road without looking as (when riding on the base bars) it looks like you're going to impale them with the aerobars.

Ok so although the cracking probably isn't good that isn't what was making the clicking noise. That must have been the stem slipping in the steerer tube or something, as it came loose completely today and won't tighten enough now (I could ride on it but not hard, can't skid, etc.). Lucky this happened on an empty road where I could fall safely and with as much grace as I could manage, and not halfway down Reigate Hill...
It sucked having to ride home gently without skidding, and it was so windy the stem actually came loose again just by the force involved in keeping my wheel straight against the gusts.

since seeing this I've been thinking about getting it done with pink base and black streaky bits on my (currently just pink) lo pro. it's such a nice effect.

About 6 of us multi-DASed B0N0R outside the Jolly Butcher's on Stoke Newington High Street. You looked alarmed.

^^I wasn't sure about this but then the bike was in immaculate well cared for condition and he carelessly threw it to the floor when Sweaty did some good natured shout at him...

If I'm not there by 18:30 it's because riding on my new aerobars made me die
-
I've got a 100mm somewhere but I think the only way I could ride with that is on stretched way out on the aerobars at all times... I might use it.
The 70 is a Cinelli 1A so you can't just put a regular bolt in.
-
yes but you'll need to get a bolt for it (I borrowed one out of another stem)
-
so I got the shims for the aerobars finally but as I was fitting them I noticed something and realised that the clicking noise my stem sometimes makes probably has something to do with the cracks spreading out from the bolt holes...
Does anyone have a black 26.0 80mm clamp quill stem I can buy cheaply or borrow for Saturday? I was kindly given a 70 a while ago but it's too short. Or black 25.4 clamp pursuit bars? I will just ride the cracking stem if not so you may be saving me from DEATH (in the face).
-
Actually it's 3 miles longer I think...
-
I still don't know whether I'm in or out... if in I can navigate the old route or the one I did today if we need a navigator?
If it's shorter it must only be a few miles
-
I just had this pointed out to me but everyone knows it's Pride on the 1st right? Brighton is going to be mad busy which is cool but the trains might be busy? Or not maybe if it goes a bit faster and everyone heads back a bit earlier...
Also I did this* today and I thought it was better than the other route... it's a bit of a weird way to go though and maybe a little harder. I just remember a few people saying there could be more country lanes.
*actually I went under the M25 instead of over on the dual carriageway but I can see why a fixed group would choose not to take this way.

if you're going to do tricks you don't want a tall seat tube...
The Volume Thrasher XL has 56 seat tube and 63 top tube, I'm not sure there's anything bigger that takes proper fat tires.
