The accessories on this shed cladding are spot on. Bike stand, bottle opener, and is that a little tool table that folds down?
-
Speaker still going?

Lovely this. Like the La Haine sticker too
-
Afraid it's already with me :)
-
Arrgh, want to get just to move back to rim brakes. Will swap for a Tarmac SL6 disc haha

Dibs North Face, PM incoming

Ah ok, I'll see what's around. Cheers

I've used Sean before, got a very old watch going again and I think the cost was reasonable. About as central as you can get in London so convenient

Lucky 13. Very proud of this latest purchase, love how it's not bulk but still badass. Strap is amazingly comfortable but needs a link removed (which I fear might be a bit less easy than other designs). Will have a go tomorrow.
*edit, still need to change the date obviously. -
The pitch is standard 1.0mm for a 12x142mm thru-axle. If you've got anything that might work that would be really great!
-
This seems the most likely fix but not 100% sure it's what I need...
-
Does anyone know where I can get the thru-axle converter so that I can use my bike on a old turbo (ie. with the rear wheel still mounted)? Been hunting around and come up with various possibles but it's not very clear whether they'll be compatible.
It's a Tarmac SL6 to an old Tacx magnet trainer. If anyone has experience with this (or even can point me to where I can get the necessary part) I'd be most grateful!

Saturday was Belgium's first dry day in weeks so I went for a hike in the Ardennes with a mate. We were rewarded with truly brilliant light, golden hour all day. I was using a Leica D Lux 7 that I hadn't fully appreciated until now. In street settings I'd been getting a bit frustrated but here it really came into its own so I think I'll take it out more.
-
Ah yes, thanks for pointing out and adjusted accordingly.
-
Size medium. This came via NLTCBMBC but not quite right for me.
Comes in original box, where it has been stored since I owned it and before that, to my knowledge.*
£75
*Funny phrasing as per classifieds rules on helmets. Feel free to ask any questions on this.

3rd dibs on whatever's left
-
My first chrono
-
They sadly didn't let me have a test ride. And I thought they could knock a couple of grand off to replace the tubs.
-
Less impressive was the White Rabbit vegan pizza my granny sweetly got me. Absolute shite with vegan mozza the consistency of baby mush. Waste of time.

Went to Tendril last night and it was excellent. Amazing flavours and top notch presentation. At £39/head for the taster menu with what feels like a fine dining experience this is hard to beat.
I'm not in London very much so might be late to the party, or letting the cat out the bag. Staff were lovely though so make a booking and check it!

Product inspired by Popeye's forearms, legend has it...

Spotted this in Berlin

Second in line if this falls through. Can collect

Wondering if anyone's got advice on training running and cycling at once? I've been gently getting back into running over winter and now very excited about it and doing a 20k race at end of May. However, the weather has finally turned and I'm trying to kick my butt into gear for a trip to Marseille mountains which will be 10 days before the 20k running.
My aim is to be doing 100-120k rides in Marseille with 1000-2000m elevation without bonking 50k from home. Right now, I'm riding twice per week and have extended my range to around 90–100 Belgian kilometres in about 3.5 hours. Run-wise, I go 4 or 5 times a week with long runs close to 20k and trying to be roughly 80/20 for training. I'd like to do the 20k in about 1hr20m (so 4m/km).
I'm not following a strict training schedule but just get out when I can. The running I have been cautious with as I broke my femur and pelvis four years ago and subsequently am very cautious and do mucho mobility every day. I've had a couple of false starts on the running since the accident, a couple of years ago got a bit ahead of myself and did a couple of sub-40 10k times but then my hips said an emphatic no and I was hobbling round for a few months. I'll turn 30 this year so trying to acquire some wisdom and not obsess about PBs any more.
Ultimately I want to do both these hobbies sustainably and if that means easing off the gas now for longer-term gains I will gladly do that. But would much appreciate any advice on how to improve at both simultaneously.
