Aluminium.

Also, we're in the tyres thread people. Let's get this over to wheels or wheel building ASAP>>>>

Should be in for this. Just ordered a new sprocket in anticipation of those hills. Looking forward to joining you all. Hope there is no crazy secret ThNRC initiation I'm not aware of...

These are a bargain in my view-

Ummm. Not sure what you're getting at. I suppose it all gets "shipped around the world" due to the global climatic system that drives fresh water distribution in general. However it says on the bottle it's from Shropshire.

been shipped around the globe

I think they get it from Shropshire. Just don't buy Waitrose water if you live in Australia.

+1 for paselas if longevity is key. Mine continue to amaze after well over 5000 miles and only a handful of pnctrs.

Toads on roads alert this morning.

I think the part that explains he may have confused his appropriate altitude for the manoeuvre with that of the Jet Provost seems most likely. The guy was clearly a decent pilot, but we all make mistakes. He probably wouldn't have realised until too late. You tend not to be too worried about your altitude at the top of a loop.

Mistake made, tragic consequences. It is mightily unlucky it hit a busy main road. Anywhere else and we wouldn't be talking about this now.

Should have been reply to the OP.

Yep, the FD cable should really be just taught when set to the first gear. Then, as soon as you shift on the STI it should start to move the FD. If the cable is too loose when in first gear, the pull on the cable will only tighten the cable and not move the FD.

If you don't have barrel adjusters the best way can be to put the cable through the FD with bolt just loose enough to allow the cable to slip. Pull the FD outboard a little on it's spring, pull the cable tight and tighten the cable bolt. When you release the FD it should leave the cable taught but the FD still hanging in first gear.

Also, check how the FD is aligned to the chainrings. The manual for the FD should give you the optimum position.

but there's no evidence of crossing that line

True, but a particularly suspicious episode cannot be disproven with any reasonable evidence either. Evidence that, by all accounts, should be easy to obtain for any team with even half decent record keeping. You keep saying "no evidence" but that is the lance defence. I say, no smoke without fire.

I've no doubt other teams are doing the same thing, other riders, but they are not partly funded by the UK taxpayer/lottery or a knight of the realm.

Why are they out there trying to get that point across then?

I find it amazing they can't find an email saying "Hi Simon we need you to take some flumicil over to France for Brad" or something like that. They have provided zero evidence for why Mr Cope had to fly over to France for a day to deliver a package. Surely, there would be something that helped explain the situation. The fact there is only verbal evidence and a lost non backed up laptop full of medical records makes me more suspicious that there is plenty of actual stuff BC/SKY are not providing/have deleted.

Eh? Was worried it was Welsh for a moment, but no....Herefordshire.

Good tweeting from an MP. Surprising amount of lols.

Will be cooler again tomorrow tho.

Have been drinking a fair amount of lovely hoppy, deep, strong, flavoursome "craft" beer recently. I really enjoy it. But today during a mammoth gardening session, in the wind and the drizzle, I got a craving for a good old fashioned pint of English Ale. Such a delight to tuck into a pint of Butty Bach this evening. You understand why we've brewed what we traditional brew after a day like today.

Had a great rip around Holmbury and Leith Hill yesterday. Not been out in a while. Surprised how dry the trails are for February. Great fun and got back not caked in mud. Double win.

It's easier than you think. Just look ahead. Tight slow corners are the hardest so try and avoid needing to do a u turn on a narrow street...

If this happened to me, I'd put myself almost 100℅ to blame.
Riding bikes is safe, if you take care. But your bike offers no protection from error either by you or others.
I know that many people make mistakes while driving all the time. I reckon almost every driver would fail a driving test on every journey if it was reviewed by an assessor.
I know that the lorry driver made a mistake, but that's what people do. It's my job, in preserving my own soft fleshy body to try and make sure that when people make mistakes I'm not in a position to be squished.
I think in anything, this case shows the importance of audible signals on hgvs when indicating. I find indicators a frustrating thing to interpret. Particularly difficult in rows of traffic. An audible "this lorry is turning left" would likely have stopped her putting herself at risk.

If the truck driver was indicating and the cyclist still went up the inside they are also partly to blame so this sounds about right to me. You should not undertake an indicating vehicle so must share some blame. Sounds reasonable to me.

I'm no judge, but as cyclists we must accept we share some responsibility for our actions and consequences, understanding that the risk of major injury death is against us.

Around £100 before you add spokes.

That's why I love this forum. Amazing, thanks. Future payments cancelled. I can relax for 10 months now.

Thanks for this, thought it had expired. Signed up.

Can we have a forum alert before 31 December to cancel before it jumps to £60 for the following year?
