Looks like it's in the paint, like it's had a bit of tape stuck on it to me. That dark line below the lug on the seat tube looks more like a crack but it's hard to say from 1 pic online. Easier to tell in person and sand it back if it looks sus.

Looks like it's just the seatstay not the lug.

I recently bought one online from Jack Martin and was happy with it. Paid about 80. Bear in mind the trousers come unfinished so you need a tailor to fix the length, that cost about a tenner.

Didn't realise these guys were still going. I saw them in 2008/9, I think also in Brighton. Still one of the best gigs I've been to.

I was a day out on my prediction but Marcel Graber is in the lead now. He'll likely win by a big margin barring anything unexpected. Velomobiles are their own category in my eyes though, not really a contest vs. regular bikes.

Really old timelapse controller for a camera if I had to guess.

Pacific Blue!

He's officially scratched. His name's at the bottom of the list now.

This and Stephane Ouaja getting lost up a goat track on an Alp in the middle of the night a couple years ago.

She missed her initial turning at Lost Trail Pass.

I reckon Marcel Graber, the velomobile guy, will take the lead either today or tomorrow. Michael Rushton has been stopped for 12 hours after a short day of riding.

DIY seatpack with an integrated rear light? Bonkers. I thought it was a tiny sleep mat when I first saw it in a different picture. Bodged stem bag with a bit of string running through the stem clamp is mad too.

Peter Anderson is having a good day. He's the best rested and has covered a lot more ground than the others in the front group. MR has gone a bit further but he's been out a lot longer without sleep and it looks like he's slowing down a bit. I'd expect PA to pull out a bit of a lead in the next few hours.

Assume you mean vertical rather than horizontal, but clugs aren't supposed to hold weight. They just hold the front wheel still and the rear wheel rests on the ground.

e: just googled and it looks like you can use then horizontally and hold the back wheel. In what way isn't it holding the bike up? Is it too loose?

Is nobody doing the reverse route this year or is it just not being tracked on trackleaders?

The 4-legged ones on Amazon are better imo. Having the opposite legs being 180 degrees means you can just pull them apart to extend it. The 5 legged ones are a bit more awkward, not a huge deal but something that would annoy me every time I set the stand up. Amazon ones should be about the same price too.

I got one of the aspides last week. It's decent enough. Slightly more comfortable than an all-carbon one and weighs fuck all.

I found this last week after trying and failing to find a shop that sells big bottles of degreaser, it works pretty well.

Regular V-Brakes by the look of it. 110mm arm length and they're advertised as being for mountain bikes and trekking bikes so flat bar levers rather than STIs.

Spotted 3 or 4 guys all on cargo bikes loaded with touring gear just outside Colchester early Sunday morning. Strava flyby shows they rode from Harwich ferry back to London, On Here? Looked like a good use of a bank holiday weekend.

This is a cool site for following lightning. The little white circle radiating out from a strike is the sound wave, it's pretty accurate IME.

Ohh right. There's a big out-of-town shopping place round the corner from my work that had a staples, PC World, bennets, comet, curries etc. and I'm constantly suggesting to people to try one of those for various things they're after only to be told they closed x-years ago.
