Seriously this tag is not at all bad or hard, loads of people know it, just no-one's bothered to go and get it. I'm out cause I got the previous tag but no-one else can complain!

Just in the process of entering this: http://cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/Default.aspx?&ge514__geka=8sW2Q7VKZmF8CUWP7ygm7riwpLFKNCEAIlX03Hp4_FhPDrktfqfkoQzxx15QQk__xHPLqh7iw6GhFuQIYBC-kw&ge514__gevi=XCpJGZoOsdoc9IDgR3GP4g&gv850__gvac=2&gv850__gvff0=58210&gv850__gvfl0=0&tabid=361

Turns out I couldn't enter this as my club (Uni of Manchester CC) hasn't paid its CTT affiliation for this year. Nice of them to cash my cheque anyway.

clean .. and looking like a track bike

This should do you fine, even better if you walk in with it over your shoulder with the wheels in covers.

As long as everything's pretty much in order (see helpful links available on the manchester velodrome website!) no-one will pay too much attention to gearing and crank lengths etc., as long as you generally look like you know what you're doing and don't draw too much attention to yourself.

Basically doing a taster session couldn't be easier and there's nothing "secret handshake" to it. Just be sensible!

I wasn't having a go, just making sure 1:7:04 had the full picture.

Oh no, sure, don't worry :)

The Regs are slightly more stringent than simply "road legal", you have to have bars >35cm wide with the brake lever fitted so it can be operated while holding the bars at their widest point, but I'd expect anybody planning to ride under CTT Regulations to have memorised them anyway :-)

The point I was going for was it's hardly revelatory that you need a brake, given that you need a brake to meet the verymost basic condition of your bike being legal to ride on the public highway. But yes, extra stuff also applies.

blah blah blah

best of luck and happy times
.

34-36mph? that's about 170-175rpm, hardly spinny (and brakeless too, brakeful definitely higher).

What the hell are you talking about?

You are required to be riding a road-legal bike though

And it must have a lockring!

I've heard they operate a ticketless honesty system of payment?

I heard there was a 'three strikes' rule?

You should compile all this into some sort of guide book.

Long and short = you will get catched, they will take the (€50? €60?) fine off you. But tell 'em you didn't understand and some bloke told you blah blah, bet they never get anyone trying that.

The tickets didn't even seem that expensive when I went, l got a 4-week pass I think, this was a few years ago tho.

We were young and carefree...

Has this been resolved yet?

Nah, I like it when the tags turn over pretty quickly, and I like knowing them even if I don't go and get them. I don't think you can try too hard to get the right kind of level of difficulty without risking having something that no-one gets for ages, which I think is worse than it going the same day.

Anyone got a black TT brake lever knocking about?

Yes! Cane Creek 200TT. Bought pair for £35, one never used, £15?

Dude, you're all making betty feel bad about her bike!

Awwwww
^^^^^ bike looks really smart, especially for how small it is! How tall are you?

once a title has been won on a bike of that brand

Or, indeed, by the person giving their name to the brand (cf. Boardman bikes)

Where can I see decent hilights of strade? I don't mean last five mins / km

youtube?

Is there a thread on the Vancouver forum called "Watch me troll these london folk", where you act as a medium for the silly things people suggest?

Thank god someone has finally worked out what's going on here. This thread has been hurting my brain.

I feel they are discounting my point re. bananas, tho. How many people need to eat on a trip to the shops, eh??

This frame is basically that of my dream bike, tho. Love it.

oscc

^^ On that kind of note, I went out with the Uni club today (lovely day btw!) who require you wear a helmet, and I found it's a lot harder to eat a banana with helmets straps fastened than without. Just say no!

you think £300 for a designer jacket made in the UK is excessive.

I think this is the exact entire point everyone is trying to make. Same goes for all the yuppie shite on sites like Mr Porter etc.

What sort of "sprint" are you talking about?

anyone have recommendations for Gear Ratios for 660meter Sprints?

Match sprint, two laps of a 333m velodrome, obviously!
