Get red rings and power pedals, job done

At the rate Ekar should eat chains its probably not far off

I got a shimano SLX derailleur somewhere if that's fine. PM an offer, will need postage unless you're in Manchester

@Acliff is right. Is not the fat you burn doing it, it's after. You get a lot more in an hour, and eventually a faster metabolism. 3 hours a week of sprints is pretty hard, 3 hours of zone 2 most commuters do more than this.

If you want to burn fat in a few spare hours a week get a smart trainer and do some nasty intervals. HIIT and the like

Has anyone got another rider's place in past editions? I have a ticket I won't be able to use, out of time for a refund or a change of name. Would sell it at a decent discount if someone doesn't mind to impersonate me

For a TT bike that's not too bad IMO

Another reason why Scotland should get independent and join the first world gravel of the EU

That's the dog. But it's for carbon rails, forgot to add that

I think it's about 20mm setback, I'll have a search for the spec

Schwalbe kojaks added

It could be over filled. Is it possible to push the pistons back or they keep popping in?

Flimsy like they're really easy to bend.

Armchair mechanics but need more room. Enough so you can go from 2nd largest to largest without squashing the pulley against the big sprocket. I'd try anyways.

I just use all clothes I'm gonna put in the bin as rags. But I have a parts washer at job anyways.

To me it's more like if I'm on the hoods and the front of the bike is bouncing hard because should've buyed a MTB I need to hold hard onto it. Going into the drops and I can relax a bit and let it go, absorb the bumps a bit better and use the full travel of the brakes with less effort.
TL;DR hoods tense, drops relaxed.

This. Never seen or needed a rubber o-ring to hold a cassette in place.

Fair enough. Still, it looks like the clutch is the culprit, but hard to know without having a working one to compare. Maybe take it to a shop if it's still in warranty, but may take ages to get a new one.

longer chain makes no difference.

Makes a difference on how much tension the derailleur exerts. Same about the cassette, worth trying different stuff to find what's causing what.

I think it was just too long. But yeah not the most favorable terrain for big boys, as proved by Asgren catching up every time the road was going down only to get dropped again in every incline.

That's really odd. Try a smaller cassette or add some links to the chain. Make sure the hanger is straight.

Was tight at the first lap, smoked everyone in the 2nd. Paced it perfectly

Never had a problem reusing chain links, or heard anyone having it. Always have a spare one in my bag anyways in case my chain dies.

Nah, but every shop likes to add bikes assembled or serviced by fully qualified cytech mechanics. It's pretty meaningless but I guess it warranties a minimum standard, there's a lot of useless mechanics about since it pays so bad.

Just a hard tail but love the connoisseur component choices. Super cool.
