No one use these MKS ones?

I love mine. You need half toe clips with them really, though.

I think you're a bit wrong about your perception of Rapha vs Vulpine pricing.

Same price. Only one I'd even consider.

Did this on New Years Eve. It's a fun route! There's a climb nearish the end that'll beat you up if you're riding fixed....

Cannondale ripoff, innit.
I thought I was ordering a gunmetal black/grey, but they arrived in a deep purple. Which is ace.

I've got some Endura bibs - they're really good actually. Bit disappointed by how they're wearing though... the pad is starting to feel a bit thin/worn after 9 months - and 5 of those they weren't worn (winter)

As for Dumoulin's saddle sore - I reckon riding in a lot of pain for a long time gets really, really tiring. When it's a percent or two in power output that is the difference in leading or losing 30s-1m up a climb, you can see why a little something being out of whack makes a huge difference.

Seems I've switched on at exactly the right moment, for a change. I'm liking Bob in pink. He's riding without fear.

An IED in your shower?

A tiny bit of rain and everyone gets in their cars. Soft, that's what everyone is.

I saw a chap this morning wearing running/rugby shorts.

Over his jeans.

Ha, my missus is always banging on about that pub. She goes there every time she goes climbing at the sea cliffs.

Mountainous roads where mud/animal excrement flicks up into your mouth and onto the top of your bidon? No potential for germs at all?
As for cold, wet weather making you more susceptible to infection - might very well be true, say scientists from Yale: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/body/scientists-finally-prove-cold-weather-makes-sick/

Oh hi, oddly angry man.
Your immune system never take a hit if you've got really cold in the wet then?
And stomach bug germs never fly up from the road spray?

Not saying that's definitely why he's ill, but it is a thing that could have happened.
FFS indeed.

Is it still Jalabert on the french comms?

Hmm, will ask the advice of my wheel builder too I guess. Report back on your experiences please!

Oh dear. Must be a pretty bad lurgy. Picked up something nasty during the wet tt, maybe? Big shame, was looking forward to seeing him in the mountains.

Yeah, I had a man in to make a loft hatch and replace a tile for a vent - he didn't say upfront that the price he quoted was a cash price. Fucks me right off.

Definitely tubeless. I'm 69kg fat.

My CX search just got pretty ace... been effectively gifted a nice frame and forks. So now I'm looking at groupsets and wheels.... was thinking about getting some chinese rims and getting my friendly wheel builder to make em up. Having never done much cx - what rim width am I looking for? How many spokes?

It was the bigger nose piece, apparently.

Are the HM caps online only?

Gorilla tape is holding. Tore it a tiny bit wider than the internal width, then sliced it with a scalpel to fit exactly once it was stuck down.

I got a question - carbon rims for cx. Anyone bought any from aliexpress/hongfu/etc?

But no longer available! I guess look for similar listings with the same photos?

I tried the glasses on the other day in the raphcaff - really nice, though they're too narrow for the bridge of my nose. So light though.

I'm liking the Herman Miller caps this week - how much are they? They seem to be selling like hot cakes.

I think it's daft even having Wilshere in the long list. Oh well, wouldn't be an England pre-tournament if there wasn't a will he/won't he be fit story.

Going back to Spurs - that's really funny. I haven't given much of a shit about this season because I'm getting really bored by the whole sport - money, drugs and more money, and just so much cheating too. Leicester winning is ace, obviously, but it's not like they don't have a really rich owner. Arsenal have been abject, and yet still beat Spurs. That's very funny indeed.
