Shit. Didn't get it again.....
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
I don't have a pic, but I just roll the pump and track tool into it so I know where they are - they stick out of the end but it's far better than the plastic bag I was using...
Jon did say he could add elastic loops to secure them but I just went for the vanilla option
-
Bump for this thread and another recommendation for Jon at Mack workshop. Sent me pics of the roll with different items in it (I wanted to use it on the bike with a couple of tubes in it but make sure it was also big enough to tuck things like a mini pump in to stick in a bag for commuting), ordered on Sunday afternoon and it was with me on Thursday.
Sound guy, decent bit of kit.
-
Not surprised there isn't much interest in this... Last call....
-
Oh! Literally ordered one of those tool rolls 30 mins ago. Is that the larger version? Looks good. Jon was a nice guy to deal with.
-
Anyone want one of these? Going free.
Useful if your gas gets cut off (like what happened to me when I got this!). Heats stuff.
Pickup in Putney preferred. Shout before I bin it!
-
Did one of these yesterday, my first time on the track, was awesome!
Does anyone know the gearing that they use on the Condor hire bikes there? Forgot to check.
-
I wore it along the Embankment, and then I took it off and rolled it up when I reached East Putney.

well thanks for the thoughts everyone. Will try it if it is actually raining at the start of a ride with a thin baselayer (don't own a merino one) and will see how that goes. Will still be useful to have in a back pocket on longer rides.
-
Haha yes I had a cheap shell that was instantly defeated by rain, which I assume this won't be. It is also far better made. My commute is so short I barely have time to get properly sweaty (and I guess I could just slow down) so I'll keep going with it.
So is the hardshell going to be different then? Copes with actual long rides without too much condensation and isn't for pulling in for a shower? Not thinking of buying, just curious
-
Hmmm... the reason I got this was because I was sick of riding while drenched which happened on a LOT of rides last year (Ride London and the Dun Run, the list goes on and on). Wanted something that I could pull on and could reliably keep me dry. Saw this on the Rapha ebay outlet store for £75 so went for it. Don't want to spend any more cash really.
So I just have to accept that I'll be wet with or without? There's no technique with layering or something? I am disappoint. Glad it didn't cost me £220!
-
here's a question for y'all. I own a rapha race cape, and it is certainly good at keeping out the wet. The only problem is it keeps in the wet too.
For example, today I was wearing it with a Torm LS jersey and bib tights, and strangely my forearms got noticeably wet. The rest of me was damp. My commute is only 7 miles and involves a fair bit of starting and stopping, which I know might affect things, plus I run hot anyway.
What do people wear under these things that can keep them relatively condensation free at a pretty high tempo? Or is that not the point, and it is better to accept warm and damp rather than soaked and cold?
-
Get to try the race cape and no rain tights combo for the first time, so I'm quite looking forward to it....
Apart from the headwind
And the fact that I will inevitably be too hot
-
I have found the race cape a bit sweaty for moderate to high tempo rides with a long sleeve merino jersey underneath in the current temperature. It feels like my body can't decide if it is hot or cold. I've decided to keep it as a rain / descending / posing jacket, which I guess is it's proper purpose... :)
It is last year's model which I got on discount though, don't know if that makes a difference.
-
did I see this on Upper Richmond Road/Keswick Road junction today?
-
I'd go CdF, just for the colour. I think the moaning about weight is probably for the older model - can't remember if it was 725 as well. Doesn't look like there is a listed weight for the Disc Equilibrium on the Genesis website but I can't imagine that it would be much lighter than the CdF.
-
oh actually it's heaver than the non - disc frameset...
-
Was looking at that yellow disc Equilibrium today, was nice! Have you thought about the CDF frameset? A bit more interesting looking than the above, but marginally heavier: http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/adventure/frames/croix-de-fer-frameset
-
Don't worry about that - when I got mine home from the shop I thought "oh shit" and emailed Genesis - this was their reply:
Well spotted! You can rest assured it's a design feature and provides a little bit of clearance for the chain when in the lower sprocket (hence why there's an indentation on the driveside and not on the non-driveside)
Fun project, will be interested to see how it turns out.
-
I've found the bike for me. Fully custom, big headtube, rad steel and not too pricey. Done
-
Well after all those years failing at every other sport due to being a stick, maybe cycling is the way forwards....
-
It goes like a brick down a well :)

Walz caps are the only type that fit my massive dome comfortably. Nice and not too pricey. The peak can flick down as it is soft though - only a problem when the wind gets up.
