shoe covers?

Not always a huge fan of Rouleur, but this description of Sagan's solo bid for victory at the Ronde is excellent:

'In contrast, the world champion, steady as a rock, was draped over his bars and pedalled with the insouciance of a man leaning on a fourth-floor balcony, regarding a sunset. He was not going to be caught – and he knew it.'

You could do like I did, and mount it with a garmin out front mount. Or it would fit under a stem with zip ties like a di2 junction box.

the wire comes out of the middle of the long side of the box

Bought these but turned out they were too big, haven't been worn on a bike by me, and had barely been worn by the guy before. Would like what I paid - £70 ---> only £60!!

Amazingly light, oven remoldable shoes. RRP is £250, these are some of the lightest, stiffest, most comfortable road shoes our there. Wish they fit me as they're incredible things.

anyone know where I can get some long plain navy blue cycling socks from? struggling to find anyone who does a decent range of plain colours.

How does that work out?

d1 = £85 incl. postage
luxos = about £100 incl. postage

@mustardbeak if you look at the top picture, the gap of the garmin out front mount that I use that allows it to clamp the handlebar has enough space for the mount part of the d1, I had to file it down a couple of mm, but no problem.

Soooo... my long review of the http://d1.igaro.com/.

TLDR: Functional looks but superb performance.

Build/Looks:
Looks pretty basic, it's metal case, 2 usb ports, with some sort of black plastic coating or paint, but feels rock solid - In many ways the basic looks are a positive, much less chance of someone nicking it from your bike. Weighs almost nothing.

I think it's designed to mount on a bottle cage mount, but I found it fits perfectly under a garmin out front mount (see awful photos).

Performance:
Really really impressed by it, I was riding in the pouring rain in north wales up incredibly steep gravel climbs at only a couple of mph and it was able to charge two things at once - iphone & usb battery or iphone & usb speakers no problem, whilst the light on my supernova still being on.

Also left things (accidentally) plugged in whilst descending at 40mph+ and they continued to charge and my iphone did not explode :)

For want of a more scientific way to judge charging ability, it charged my iphone 5c about 2-3% whilst cycling quite slowly between Queens Road Peckham and Camberwell which is about a 1.5 miles.

Overall: it seems to offer better weight, more charging options and cheaper price than the other big contenders. very impressed. 5* would buy again.

My hope is that after that tactic failed they might let him a crack, especially as they were more likely to use him up at Flanders thinking he wouldn't be in contention for the final after the climbs.

However considering EQS tactical poverty at the moment, you are probably right..

Tony Martin on 50/1 odds to win Paris Roubaix, worth a £1 speculation

'on a bike that looked much much too small for him' - that was what raised suspicion.

saw a guy riding round peckham on a bike that looked much much too small for him, no helmet, ruck sack on.

Bike was a team sky pinarello dogma, with 6800 groupset, yellow accenting.

Bike like this one (but not it)

2nd flight related luggage post in 1 day..!

I flew with ryan air & a bike wrapped in cling film from marseille to London, absolutely fine. I'm not sure if it is really to do with the airline, instead it's about the baggage handlers for the whole airport that will end of deciding the fate of your bike..

fly with easyjet to geneva for £25 +£25 for the bike, then spend the time you would have spent cycling through northern france,cycling in the alps.

v nice, makes me want to rebuild my vigorelli...

Final spec =

Ultegra group set (5800 shifters)
Trp spyre discs
Dt Swiss/vision wheels with challenge strava biancha tyres
Zipp stem/ bars
Arione.

Thanks :)

So far longest ride is a 10 mile ride to a friends in the country roads of Cambridge. This thing blasts along on the flats, and the fatty 30c tyres + carbon frame just takes all the buz out of the road

We're cycling so that should make things easier & thanks, all helpful advice

Thanks - good to know. Yep, we're bring locks for that very reason...

Got the frame off here for a bargain £240 with the groupset and brakes minus the crankset. Wheels built for £200 and got the rest on the cheap with a bit of ebay hunting.

Thanks - it's 8kg on the dot

Can save another 250g by swapping tyres to grand prix 4000s which I'll do when I take it to the mountains, it's also got heavy basic spd pedals that I could probably lose another 100g on. All in very happy.

Only annoying thing is the knocking around of the internal cable routing...
