ah yes, will add that and the axle to crown to the listing.

Kelly stem shortly to be added too.

What's the reasoning behind the light flares on solo riders bikes? So the team riders travelling at pace can see us trudging along from a way off before flying past?

All gone, or gone on eBay.

Not this one. Still a pretty solid palmares against teams with multiple bikes, jet washes, etc:
a couple of wins to it's name.

yeah, loads of chain drops at Big Dog. Frustrating but I don't think it made any difference to my final position. Hopefully the fewer hills and the longer duration at Torq in your Sleep will mean I won't be putting as much power down.

Yup, I'm praying that my new washers arrive from Paragon this week and help prevent a repeat of the chain-drop-gate that occurred at Big Dog.

@Howard, looks like the train might be relatively simple, depending on what's happening at Waterloo. Direct to Farnborough then a ride of 3.5 miles to the course.

This is Web 2.0, I demand clicking and dragging.

Purchased a Garmin described as in excellent condition. Item arrives and clearly has some scratches and marks on the screen. Scratches have little effect on the Garmin in use, but it's certainly not what I'd describe as excellent condition.

I'm off on a tour the following week so make do whilst getting in touch with the seller to let him know the issue. He asks what can be done and I suggest a small partial refund of £15. No response from seller in about a month. Reasonable to leave neutral feedback in that situation or should I just have returned the item when it arrived if I was unhappy?

EDIT: Now available elsewhere.

Actually, to answer my own question it looks like that banjo fitting is crimped, so no money saving hoses from other manufacturers.

Hope 5mm hose compatible with TRP brakes? Seems a far cheaper option than the hose kit TRP offer, given I'll need a bleed kit which will include duplicates of all the small bits.

Is there no way to create custom training plans? seems odd, everyone's got a different schedule and it'd be good to move things around.

bah, too slow. probably for the best, the last thing I need is another bike. enjoy @BenDelaney.

Thoughts on budget tubular disc rims? I'm not all that powerful and they're for cross, so stiffness and aerodynamics are quite low on the wishlist.

Will the Mavic Reflex cut it?

Thanks all. DT 350's would be nice, but unfortunetly too pricey with everything factored in.

Where did you get that rear hub from? Need to get my crux rebuilt and that looks like a neater option than loads of spacers and a heavily dished wheel.

Great course, had a bit of everything and a lot of climbing.

Lost loads of time in the first lap and thanks to many many chain drops but held on to third in the seniors. Big improvement on my result 2 years ago.

I don't think it'll be a quagmire. Tends to dry out pretty quick this time of year. Bit slippy in places, hopefully, though.

I'm in. Training it down on Friday and staying at a friend's house so I'm out of the group save. There was running water in the pavilion in the Spring, for sure.

14mm allen key, for freehub removal, in East London anyone?

I'm on about 58" for dry/flat/fast and 55" for muddy/hilly/slow. That's on a singlespeed so I've got the option of coasting if it gets a bit too spinny, so you might want to gear up from that a fraction.

Looking to do some more focused training so I am after a turbo I can hook up to an android phone. Must be pretty quiet for usage in a small flat. Don't have a massive budget so looking to spend under £200.

Think there must be a leaking pipe under there or something. Fell in that in February when it was a real bog but it's damp in midsummer. Smelt for months afterwards. There's a continuation of the singletrack which cuts it out if you carry on a few metres up the path towards the east (when traveling south, or just fork right on the singletrack if going north).

Jeremy Durrin won?

It's quite possible I paired the mini v's with the wrong levers.

CR720 are the wide Tektros. Only downside is I do tend to clip the rear brake when remounting occasionally, and there are no cable adjusters.
