Thanks all, yeah it is the start and end of the Breckland 12. They were talking about the 12 alot last night. Looks like Joe Skipper is doing it

I did my first club 10 tonight, managed 24.42 on the B10/19 (slightly hilly) which placed me at 7th, first road bike though and was just over a minute slower than a guy on a brand new fully kitted out Factor Slick so am happy. Need to do some more training now

Yeah that would work, how much and are you happy to post?

Personal progression and stress relief/mental health, I've played sport in one form or another since under 10s rugby (Currently 26). Now i row and cycle, my main competition is in rowing so I've focused mainly on that for the last few years. I train to keep up/out perform against my squad members, I love being part of a crew and always want to be my best for all. I'm not the best at following a firm training plan but mix indoor rowing workouts with trainerroad sessions of late which i have seen a lot of results when on the water, but that might be from going from 81.5kg at the start of lockdown to 73.7kg now and have had very little difference in power/splits (erg).

Focusing more on cycling, I love the result training has on speed but I really couldn't care less about Strava segments, it's more about how I feel when riding the bike. I do enter the odd competition on the bike, with my first 10TT coming up on Wednesday. The one thing i don't like about doing all of this training is the expectation of others/peers, I work with a few cyclists and they put a lot of pressure on me with riding e.g they think I can do a 22minute 10 on a road bike.... So for this reason I have the majority of my sessions private on Strava.

Nothing beats a hard training session when you push yourself to being sick though :)

Don't mind the brand, just 130bcd, 50t and being narrow wide

Thanks

I'm in Wymondham.. probably should change the name but oh well...

I've seen that CC Breckland have a club 10 on the 29th so that will be my first, only a few miles away too which is nice.

Has anyone had an issue with a Wahoo Bolt and cracked screen? My GF bought one at the end of May and dropped it this evening (she's gutted). Has anyone been able to fix theirs or have run theirs for years and not had a problem? If so I'd just swap with mine and take the hit with the bad screen

Still for sale?

Chinese crabon wheels and tyres are wanted but for now, my commuter is ready for my return to the office next week.

Also almost 4 years after i bought it...

A is the top one, (better suited for my spine, less so for the arse so need another fizik). Also riding bikes isn't about what people on the internet think? I've been doing it all wrong for years, surely how good a bike is, depends on how many instagram likes it has :)

A or B

Still got some fine tuning but I'm happy with it

WIP : waiting on -17 stem

Struggling to get the front mech working, stupidly haven't installed a cable tensioner which is next to do so hopefully that will solve the issue. Need to sort out the bars, only noticed the issue once when looking at this picture. I lent my mate the rear wheel so will have that back for the weekend to hopefully take it out for a spin.

I'm currently cabling a project and have the below issue.

So i have an ultegra 6800 rear shifter that's not clicking to go down a gear, does this mean it's broken/is it an easy fix? I have tried to put the cable in but there's no movement with it.

Fixed it - wd40

I have messaged you.

Thanks everyone for your help, I'm going to start training and will attempt the same tt course once I've completed the first plan on TR. I'll update you with the results, should be painfully fun 👍

Thanks, i have looked at trainerroad and it does seem to be good. I have a decent indoor set up so will start a plan on monday.

I'll look into clubs, my main sport is rowing so a weekday evening tt would suit well. And i would definitely enjoy beating people who are in full tt mode on a 9kg+ steel road bike.

How much speed do you gain from a good fitting tt bike to a road bike? (Might be asking how long is a piece of string)

So I've just done a 24.35 10m on my isen, on an unofficial course by the A11 in Norfolk with alot of roundabouts. I've got a giant trinity (old style) but am struggling with the fit so have just been using it sparingly on the turbo. Should i wait to get a bike fit and follow a training plan indoors in the meantime? Does anyone know a good plan? I'm very green to time trials so any advice on how to train/get started would be great

So the caad is finally... getting pieced together. Was searching for a while for a decently priced sram groupset but found an ultegra 6800 for a 100 so couldnt say no. Also have a fsa slk light crankset coming which i'll debadge.

Things to do are, get a bb tool (remove existing)
Order new cables.
Wheels (will put on some beater wheels for the time being) until i find a good deal on 50mm carbon ones.
Longer stem: x2 110mm/120mm preferably if anyone wants to swap??

Im finally putting mine together, am a fan of the silver finishing kit.

I saw that, 2k seems a decent price.

Would be interesting to know how many they made.

Is your seatpost still available?

That is lovely, glws

Laka says the below; don't know if insuring it for what i paid for it would be underinsuring as can't replace like for like

Your Laka policy will be on a “new for old” basis, this means that if you have to claim we will replace your bicycle or accessories as new or with the nearest available, new, equivalent.

We won't apply depreciation of the value of your bike over time.

Remember that the community will not pay out more than the sum insured you’ve selected.

If you insure your bike for much less than the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) or the replacement cost then this means that you're not paying your fair share to the community and so we may have to reduce your claim. This is called underinsurance

So I've been using Laka for a solid 6 months to insure my bikes, my gf just got a new bike and was wondering what i should insure it for? She paid 1350 for it but it's rrp was £7300 in 2015/16, I've attached a picture. Is it cost to replace or price paid? Ignore the stem, new one's in the post

Cheers, just PM me with the details

Has anyone got a set of 3t 60mm risers spare? I have ventus 2 ltd bars and need more height at the front end, i know the Aura/brezza ones fit
