K, I'm in. Managed to get to Decathlon via a detour on the way home, so have 25c robust rubber. I've tackled some pretty non roadie tracks on 25c Duranos so I think these Pro4 Endurance will be ok.
Is any beer drinking included in this ride?
-
I'm keen. I've ordered some Michelin Endurance rubber for the road biek. Dilemma about which bike to take, and how much stuff to bring...

Hi all,
sorry to disppoint most of you; @Farcuss collected the Kitchenaid this eve and also claimed his can of Five Points.
Happy mixing!
Many thanks for all the interest.
Cheers
Chas

Dibs is the rule for me, however in the seemingly unlikely event that others wish to bow out I am more than happy to sell to @GreatSince78 at his offered price and donate the balance to the forum.
And drink the can of Five Points myself.
-
Will throw in a beer for prompt collection.

Emma did say she would clean it but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Kitchenaid stand mixer like wot Nigella uses, with stainless bowl, whisk and dough hook. Has been used quite a bit, there's some play in the driveshaft, probably could be sorted by someone who can be bothered, but it works as is.
£40 collected from e17.

Seems there have been quite a few variants with different PS. This suggests maybe you have a "phono box original" and need to 16v 500ma wall wart?

What @Apone said. Had a very similar experience.
If possible, knock it down and start again - cheaper in the long run.

Thought I'd report back after a couple of weeks of commuting on Kojak 700x35c. I really like these tyres. I've settled on 55/65 psi f/r which for me is the right balance between comfort and not squirrelly. I find them really comfortable to ride and plenty of grip. Fine in the wet as well.
The only downside is now when I get on my road bike, with 23c conti gp4k, it feels like riding on nails. I think I will need to get some 25c tyres back on. Only went down to 23c in the hope of managing to fit mudguards and gave up on that in any case.
-
Sounds awesome. Wish I was there. Will be next time.
-
I was looking at the plastic nukeproofs but white and black unavailable, the colours don't really work for me. Will look at the alloys although £90 is a bit over budget...
-
C'mon, gimme your flat pedal love.
-
Yes, I kind of know you are right (although it's a left turn).
When there's nothing in the loading bays it feels pretty non controversial to ride up that stretch to the lights. Today there were two coaches parked up and I found myself riding into an oncoming Renault traffic (or something) panel van coming fast the other way. Tbf, they did gimme some room but I felt non clever for pulling the move.
Might pavement hop in future until this scheme, which looks great, actually gets built.
As far as I can see there is no reasonably straightforward way to avoid this part of my route.
-
Great; all sorted.
-
Thanks - that's awesome.

Is anyone familiar with that bit of Midland Road which runs down the side of St Pancras Station?
My commute ends at the Euston end of Eversholt Street, and I go down Brill Place -> Phoenix Road. Fine, more or less, when heading west and I do the same thing heading east on the way home. Which means I cycle the wrong way up Midland Road, but then there are traffic lights in the correct orientation for me to turn right into Goods Way, which I do.
It's generally ok when I can nip up the loading bay opposite St. P, but sometimes there are coaches parked up here which makes it dodgy.
Any views? Why are there traffic lights facing south at the junction with Goods Way if this manoeuvre is verboten?
-
There are rules, though!
-
Ortofon 2m red according to Google - good choice :)
-
Great! What cartridge?

I've bought a new roadie douchebag jersey to mark the occasion. Apparently I am an xxl in Italian cycliste poseur clobber. Cool.
