Any recommendations for a titanium watch for £150-200ish?

^ Amazing. How was he acknowledging these non-existent greetings?

Coke bottles full of piss are the second most prevalent item strewn around this previously lovely country's lanes, after shitty nappies in Tesco bags.

Cabbies got problems.

Anyone know if cabbies have a little pee box so they can go without leaving the cab?
I think one emptied one (or at least a pee box-sized receptacle containing a suspicious yellow liquid) within inches of splashing me as I was passing this morning ...
Gross

Seen one pull up to a bin and chuck a big evian bottle full of piss into it. Nothing as advanced as a box as far as I'm aware.

^ ha!

is it possible some frames have a limit to the amount of seatpost you can put into the seattube ? a frame i have will only allow the seatpost to go in about 10cm
seatpost is definately the right size and fits perfectly for those first 10cm, it is a new long seatpost but won't go right down

i know cutting is obvious but i prefer to have more than less seatpost in the frame when possible just to ensure integrity of all bits concerned

I had this issue with a new steel frame and needed to get the seat tube reamed. It'd go in fine for a bit then stop dead.

I get front of knee pain when saddle is too far forward.

Also, with regards to the cleat/normal shoe conundrum, why not just move the cleat on that shoe inward, thus moving shoe outward to mirror the way your foot sits on pedal with normal shoes?

Oh, just a thought. A mate of mine apparently assumes the 'crash position' when shitting, as one might when about to crash land in a plane. He tends to splatter it up the backboard so maybe it's a more extreme version of that.

You'd assume if they were really fat they couldn't get back far enough on the seat due to blubber and would shit on the front edge, if anywhere.

Saying that, I only did physics to GCSE and got an E in Biology A-level so I stand to be corrected.

why don't you just say hey next time your riding out of Croydon at 6pm? you said you see her most days

See her everyday and say nothing = #stravastalker

see her and say hi = #stravas talker

Ah ok, I've only used it with the Tour, which is fairly solid itself.

Upgraded my S3 from CM10.2 to CM11 and having some issues with getting MX player to be default video player in browser. It doesn't give me the option of choosing a default even once I've cleared defaults for MX player and Browser in the apps menu, and there's no other video player in the app list to clear its default. Same thing happens with Chrome.

Never had a problem with the SQR letting anything flop about, even when it's fully loaded but I've not used any of the others.

SQR tour does the trick for me for commuting. Can fit all the above in, plus a pair of overshoes, couple of tubes and work bits.

Riding in this morning and was passed at speed by an Audi hatchback. About 50m up the road ends in a T junction and she's indicating left. I stay behind her. Smart move because she turns right. After 100m she stops in the middle of the road and starts reversing back down. I'm a fair way behind, so it doesn't really affect me and I just pull into the oncoming lane to pass her as she reverses by me. I give her a quizzical glance as she reverses by and she yells at me 'You ought to have your head checked mate'!

She yells at me!

Finally upgraded to 4G. Fucking hell, better than a lot of broadband connections

What network are you with?

This is how a real pro deals with it.

Who makes size 52 SPD shoes? I've got Shimano M087s in size 52 (slightly too loose) and size 51 wide (slightly too small, got a numb big toe on tour). They're starting to die, so I'm looking at replacements. The M088 is the obvious choice, but is there anything else available?

Fixed lopro with very deep front wheel in regents park this morning, going CW. I was on the ribble, sweating profusely.

I'm finding more and more peds are hesitant to cross at zebra crossings. Palm out 'it's your right' gesture takes them by surprise and I get thanked. Thanked. So much confuse..

Much confuse indeed. I read something on here about potentially confusing them by riding fixed, they don't think you're stopping as you're still pedalling towards them even though you're slowing down and intending to stop. Sort of makes sense to me.

Probably safer to do mad skiddz at them.

Ah. The E10s are good.

What soundmagic headphones did you get?

Fancy an upgrade to my Ribble, can't find much in the way of carbon in the right size/geo, but I think a Kinesis Racelight in 63cm would do the trick.

Let me know what you've got!

Had to be in early this morning and overslept so got to enjoy 6 miles of shit traffic and crap roads rather than a nice bimble in via regents park as planned. Still, happy that I've managed to do 150 miles so far this week.
