I'm doing the British Cycling NSI course over the next two weekends, should be interesting!

It's delivered at the National Cycling Centre so hopefully I'll get chance to have a nosey around the velodrome at some point.

Pretty cool calculator for the obsessive climbers:

And this makes rides look interesting, though I haven't investigated it properly yet:

Underwriters doing my head in over proof of address. If I invite them round for a cup of tea and a chat with the neighbours do you think they'll believe that I haven't inexplicably moved in the last 3 months, having already proved to their satisfaction that I've lived at the same place from Feb 2012 to the end of 2014?

Obviously I'm not going to buy this:

but I like the sound of a water/sweatyproof pocket and headphone guide in a jersey. Anyone know of any, apart from Cuore?

cheers!

I reckon I'm gonna go for a dynamic. For those whose google-fu is more developed than mine, is Bike24 generally the best bet given current exchange rates?

Now sold.

Having read what you're prepared to pay for home improvements I think it's safe to say our definitions of expensive are fairly different! Which is fine, I realise I'm a northern cheapskate.

Fuck me solicitors charges are a joke. I hope I never have to fight anything in court.

What year is the frame please?

cockpits lol

Will also consider a swap for a Langster or similar alu/carbon combo.

I've owned this from new but alas it's time for me to reduce the number of steel fixie skidders in my basement!

There are the usual scratches from locking up but it's never been crashed and there are no dings or dents.

Ha I hadn't noticed that!

So much great cycling near Otley! Did Norwood Edge a couple of weeks ago, caused quite a stir among the locals

My pal sweating at the top of this climb:

Went on a beautiful 80 miler on Sunday around West/North Yorkshire, taking in Fountains Abbey and Bolton Abbey along the way. Absolutely stunning views which my photos will never do justice.

My Canyon Ultimate Al started creaking when going uphill and now it's doing it when I put any effort at all through the cranks. I've tried all the usual stuff - pedals, qr's, spokes, chainring bolts, regrease/install hollowtech cranks. I think it must be the press-fit bottom bracket, so I'm going to take a punt on this:

which I can also use with my headset press to reinstall the cups.

Has anyone had success using Loctite 641 or 609 when reinstalling press-fit bb cups?

Yeah, long shot I suppose but I'm after one. Or maybe even a 105 5800 if the shape isn't too different. It would need posting too.

cheers!

Nice. A good area for your desired access to both cities, and a short ride out to some damn fine cycling country.

Surely Millar deserves more than 6/10 for distance?!

Leeds/Bratfud? Whereabouts?
