@spiderpie yes I understand that.
When you are a pedestrian approaching a side road and you see a car is indicating to turn down said side road, do you start crossing, stopping the car from turning off the main road?
-
the bell thing.... good or bad? there is no correct answer.
i've started to shout where i am going. like turning off a main road. whilst still on the main road, on approach to my left turn i will ring bell twice and then signal left. countless times i have looked peds in the eye with my arm sticking out yet they still start to cross.as i am also about to start making my turn.
people are looking for cars and indicators flashing..,. somehow bikes dont register.
so ive started to shout 'Turning left' as i approach. I understand some peopele may think i have no right to do so and peds have a right to cross whenever they like. but you don't do it when a car is attempting to turn off a main road so why would you do it when a bike is trying to do the same.

Does anyone have much experience with Reynolds attack carbon clinchers? I purchased a second hand pair and whilst the front looks in great nick the rear (visibly/aesthetically) is not so much. The rear brake track is considerably more warn and there is no carbon weave visible (like the front) on the brake track or rim profile... does anyone know if the rims naturally have this difference?
forgive me, this is my first foray into carbon road wheels so have little/no experience.
-
recently purchased some second hand wheels. both skewers are slightly bent at the threading of the adjustment nut (not the quick release end). I haven't yet mounted them to see how they sit but has anyone got experience of using wheels with a slightly bent skewer... i have not!

You have to do the macks! It will be the the set I never built. Just order them and work out how to pay over the waiting period!

So much win. Would definitely Nemo if I had the opportunity

So this is the initial build. still need to make a few adjustments and have a wheelset waiting to arrive. decals may get applied! well fucking happy with it. thanks to @Dick :)
-
Its just a joy mate! If only I looked as good as the bike does.. feeling a little over spec'd for my abilities!

seeing as winter is passing us by i've swapped groups over for this and got it ready for the year ahead. looking forward to taking two weeks off in March and getting to sunnier shores for a proper outing..
Also purchased a lovely titanium something off here a couple of weeks back which is getting the old group from the BMC and I am hoping will be ready to enjoy in the next day or so.... so far no pics.

My old housemate bought a Tarmac on the Spanish equivalent of gumtree. Bike arrived terribly packaged and a hub had punctured the downtube. Got it fixed locally by an old mallorquin cyclist turned mechanic and bike has been golden after 3years of use..... But yeah, not sure I'd buy a cracked frame knowingly. Shame. Lovely frame it is too
-
That´s actually a really annoying situation, not fucked enough to warrant the potential hassle but enough for it irk and frustrate.
-
oooh that is so good. tubing on frame?

I cant give u any real advice other than I had some Deda Fatback 2 carbon clip ons for a while and worked fine as long as you can set them to your comfortable width. didn't use them that much and am actually selling them. I have zero experience of any others.

thank you!
do u mean it? ;)

i should hope not!!
I think that's the point. just because you have the right it doesn't always mean its the best thing to do.
I haven't hit anyone either but making people aware of what manoeuvre you are planning to do is surely a good thing? i'm not saying it clears me to bowl thru no matter what. people generally don't want to get in others way. notoriously the English say sorry to a complete stranger for almost being in each others way!!!
