Looking for a rear wheel for my commuter. Any recommendations for strong, entry level wheels that have reasonably generous rim width? I'm running Shimano 10 speed.

Apparently the bike had been hacked. Nice big can of worms opened up there, then.

Have you got a source for that? Been looking for updates in the news on this but not seen anything.

I don't think Brita filters reduce hardness

Brita claim they "reduce limescale build up"

Seem to be having limescale build up issues in my Bonavita kettle despite always using filtered water. After descaling with Full Circle descaler it built up again after a week or two. It's a Brita filter but have been using cheaper non-Brita filters for a bit. Could it be the cheaper filters?

He's been arrested now according to the guardian.

I've seen fewer of these recently.

Having said that, this morning e-bike rider in baggy tracksuit came blasting past me RLJ'ing for good measure.

Could be why I'm not seeing them so much these days.

I've seen fewer of these recently. Was a time when I was getting regularly overtaken by e-bike riders sitting bolt upright doing 25mph plus and soft pedalling.

Felt like a lot of people are back after their hols today. Was more aggression than the past few weeks.

What is the recommended Time Atac pedal these days? Looking for something probably in the XC range or similar. Googling suggests the Time quality is not what it was. Are Mavic versions any better?

They're just another example of all the 'small' elements of road layout that just don't work and are slightly annoying. The approach seems to be 'if you can stop before the ASL that's nice, but don't worry about it if it's too much trouble'. I'm not determined to use ASLs, and it's not the biggest concern, I just find them pointless if they don't mean anything.

The video above doesn't prove ASL encroachment by the taxi (just being in the ASL it is not an offence), it all depends on the approach so I'd need to see the footage from before the first lights are red to see whether the taxi could have safely avoided being in that ASL or not.

If it is possible for drivers to avoid going over a stop line at a junction without an ASL then why can't they avoid going into an ASL? I think we just assume sometimes that they can't help it because the junctions busy or whatever but surely you just treat the ASL itself as a stop line until you know you can make it out of a junction?

From what's been said on here so far, I'm hoping CTC or LCC comes out with an informed take on how to respond to this.

Watch out for different thicknesses of shoe. I developed hip problems when my new shoes had 3mm higher stack than my old ones. Took me months to figure it out

Just saw this and realised it may be why I have been having hip problems. Switched from Mavic to Sidi shoes on my commuter (both MTB type). The Sidi feel like they have a much higher stack height. Have been getting discomfort in the upper thigh/ hip area.

Cheers, will check those out.

Going to Edinburgh this week. Any recommendations on places to get beans?

High St Ken is basically just one long heavily polluted obstacle course.

Don't you just love those speed bumps that sit in the middle of each lane?

Always get buzzed by drivers insisting on taking them square on and the only reason they exist in the first place is because drivers can't be relied upon not to speed.

The threads have stripped on the seatpost clamp on my Ultimate AL SLX. There's 2 types on Canyon's website - but can't find out whether it's the 30 or 30.2mm diameter one I need. Any ideas?

Or - are there any non-Canyon seatpost clamps that would work? The Canyon one is pricey - £30 inc postage.

The bikes about 4 years old so out of warranty.

Looks like chainring is yours.

It's still available - pm me

changing rules based on who you like/ dislike puts you in the same camp as Lappartient though.

Valverde - another TdF rider escaping the vitriol this year despite actually being a proven and unrepentant doper.

Definitely noticing the missing front number plates on flash cars. And was riding behind an electric scooter merrily cruising through red lights this morning. Also, broken glass - seems to be everywhere and not cleared up for weeks.
