How did you find the behind-the-arse water bottles? Any bottle ejections, especially with larger bottles? I've always thought it makes the most sense to go this way with a larger framebag but heard horror stories from testers and triathletes.

Mine weighs in at 128g. I'm sure there are lighter options (or maybe I got a duff one?)

@haveo @Sig_Arlecchino I stand corrected gents. Thank you!

Not sure if it's a bargain but this Bianchi Lo Pro is about two grand cheaper than the only other one on the bay.

edit: as pointed out below - probably not what I thought it was. Oops.

Any idea where I can get something similar to this from a UK supplier? Don't necessarily need slide-adjustability, just want to lower my bottle cages to fit a framebag.

edit: found a pic I saved to my harddrive of a non-slidey one which would probably be better, no idea where I got it from though.

He came 4th in the flying lap at Worlds and was mid-pack for the TT. That said, he was mid-pack for the 4000m IP too so potentially a lot of ground to be gained there as well.

Daft mistake by Cav - on replay it was clearly unnecessary. Fortunate some of the other top boys have cocked up even more...

As someone looking to move to NZ at some point in the future, that's a great list for perspective - thanks!

You clearly have some unique circumstances that account for what you are saying, I think what people are taking issue with is how you are taking those circumstances, and the attitudes and experiences you have from that specific perspective, and have tried to apply them to everyone else as a best practice regardless of their aims, goals or circumstance.

That MKM is even nicer than I remember! GLWS

Worth noting the rings are huge to compensate for 650c wheels, which are responsible for further throwing the aesthetic balance off. Make everything else look oversized and bulbous.

Subbed - rolling chasis looks sick. Shame about steerer.

I'm sure if you post video on here of lifts (side and maybe rear shot) you'll get any basic issues pointed out if you're worried about technique. Internet form check not the most scientific and accurate but 90% of the time if there's an obvious error it'll be easy to spot.

Just bought a budget pair from SelectSpecs (£16 incl. postage). Came quicker than they estimated and fit better than any pair I've had from Specsavers, as good as the more expensive Boots pairs I've had too. For the price, highly recommended.

Article on them here. Comparison with standard 1.125" bearings shows a massive difference, not that it seemed to help them much.

Boardman's admitted himself (in publicity to do with his book release) he was a massive dick when he was younger and only really stopped being so when he stopped competing.

It depends completely who'll be coaching you. If it's some random gym trainer then you'll get random results. If you've got someone who really knows their stuff then they'll give you a few pointers but, saying that, I'd be very surprised if technique is what's holding back progress on the lifts unless you're injuring yourself.

I'd be looking to replicate stack/reach of a similarly (un)aggressive road frame that fits.

Ex-pro 93 Geoffory Dussault is only 1,500m behind Skinny on the same road, both making good speed. The battle for podium spots is getting incredibly tight!

No tips but that sounds incredible, enjoy!

I couldn't decide between M/L Escapade either and ended up getting a Small Roadrat. Geometry is bang in the middle fit-wise, the only drawback is having to run an inordinate amount of seat post.

In what sense?

Cotic Roadrat is steel, has discs, large clearance and track ends.

I think that's oversimplifying things a lot, nobody is saying fruit isn't healthy and absolutely nobody here is saying you should drink milk instead of fruit juices.

No worries, happy for you man!

After wanting to do some of Tom's rides for a while, it's just dawned on me that it starts around 6miles from Stansted. Lightbulb moment!
