I’m pretty sure the velomacchi thing was really just for the purpose of the shoot - they make a bag that they show with someone riding the Trek.

However I’m sure there’s someone on here who actually gets to CX races in this fashion, maybe they can answer? I forget who exactly but they made a rack to go on an Xt or some other mx/enduro type bike

Velomacchi are all over those wheelie control bars

My work are hosting a Hedon pop-up shop on the 24th Feb -> https://www.facebook.com/events/144130669649051/

If anyone is in the market for a flash new lid, and the weather improves a bit, would make a nice ride to the coast for some tyre kicking and stuff. There's also a helmet giveaway.

Plus, Brighton Tattoo Convention weekend, so it's fun for all the family.

I did end up pulling it out, and a dousing of muc off seemed to show the smallest of leaks. Put rubberised superglue in there a la bicycle tubeless and so far it's all good. I will arrange the mushroom plug shortly though!

Anybody got a spare 100mm 31.6 stem they wouldn't mind moving on? Black if poss, but not too picky

Take it out or trim it and leave it in?

^ likewise

I decided it was a viable option about 2 years ago when Small Batch opened a branch there. The number of vegan menu options about town rises daily. Just don't go north of the railway line.

I'm sure you have but just in case - have you considered Worthing? Lots of people seems to be getting priced out of Brighton and heading over here, but the ride into Btn is only the same as many zone 3 into 1 commutes.

We bought here (FTB) in October after realising we were never going to be able to afford to move back to Brighton, and its working out pretty well so far.

if it makes you feel better, I exchanged at 4.30 pm one day, completed midday the next. Right up to the wire of someone up the chain clusterfucking everyone. Still waiting on the contractually obliged deed of variation bits and bobs from our sellers 3 months down the line, but the move happened and our solicitor was a hardass but allowed it all to happen. I never want to move house again after the whole experience, but yeah - all is not lost.

The Pekev lined ones are thinner and feel more like normal jeans, though sadly a lot of manufacturers are really into putting accordion stretch sections in which really isn't a good look IMO

My tuppence - definitely worth the expenditure on proper gear, and I recommend Rev'it as arguably best tech/value for money. They do full race suits down to waterproof armoured jeans and kevlar shirts. Lowest profile armour in the biz, as far as I know.

I'm on the south coast too, my quotes were £200 upwards for fully comp on a battered 80's 600. Ended up going 3rd, F&T to save a few quid initially since I've got a few jobs to do on the bike.

FWIW, my work (non cycling, but also 'special interest') pays a few sites a monthly fee for basic ads to run (adblockers probably hide them). The sites don't provide any analytics of their own, we just send over files for them to implement, and I just monitor it through the usual channels. It converts reasonably well, so there might be scope for some advertising income for LFGSS without too much outlay in terms of workload (I imagine, don't know how hard it would be to edit sidebars or banners). The sites we use are not forums, more like blogs I guess, and are not ad-heavy.

Perhaps withhold the amount from the next set of fees unless they can account for this payment properly? I know this was discussed earlier but it would at least stop them blanking you

If anyone fancies the ride out, my work are doing a bit of a new premises launch party this Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/events/157466104994542/

There will be some giveaways, some food stalls, some race bikes to poke at, etc etc. Should be pretty fun.

Any heated grip recommendations? I'm gonna be doing a lot of Brighton<->London riding again and hand warmer things are tedious af

Their quote was over double what I had from Hastings, so a particular shame to hear that, you’d think more money in would give a better service. For a sub£600 bike though I’m not gonna pay up the MCE price anyway, excess was the same as bike value

I'm hopefully picking up a new ride this weekend - getting back on the engine oil now that I've sacked off London.

Insurance quotes are coming through with Hastings Direct as cheapest. Any horror stories from the LFGSS hive mind?

I believe they are good for anything with bar-end weights (contrary to the UR site) ->
These, I am now informed, are very specific to the Honda Integra

They're pretty new to us, but seem really good, nice and light. Padding not super luxury is the only negative we can find to be honest. We're at a new site in Shoreham now, better for parking if you do make the trip

In case anyone is interested or it is useful - I have recently started working at The Cafe Racer (clothing and bits, not bikes).

Not sure about acquiring any forum benefits just yet, but I'll see what I can do. Is a pretty small outfit. Will take requests/abuse as it comes.

I'd be keen on the winch - PM coming

Sorry, it went a while back but long enough since the thread was buried that I didn't think to update

Not sure if this is necessarily the right spot, but I wanted to put out a discount code for my company for forumgers to use.

Some people on here will be familiar with our kit already, but essentially it's Italian fabrics, handmade in Europe, every design in mens and womens. All the bibs come with the Cytech Tour HP pad (triple density, carbonium fabric, generally really great).
