Thanks, 38 it is!

Now Oval and round are the same price, shall I open a can of worms and ask if I should just throw an Oval on?!

I had a niggling feeling that 38t might be a better idea, thanks!

After Palace I'm thinking about taking the 42t off the front and going 36t, can't imagine any circuits in London league are to challenge that top end(?). Would be running 36t - 11-32.

I'm a happy Juin Techn R1 user, smaller and cheaper units. You can find failure stories for these too if you look around.

I've got one on my fixed with a disc build, it's not hydro good but rode it this morning and was perfectly good. Not ready to spend £230 on SRAM S900 TT HRD (use a bar end brake on bull horns)

Similar issues on height, used Spesh Hover bars for a while (15mm rise) but wasn't a fan of the feel so splashed out on Aeroflys with 25mm rise, nice but a bit pricey.

You may have been battling my other team mate, I was in no mans land for maybe the last 3 laps trying to hold off someone in Octave kit and chase someone from Brixton.

Was on a black PX with purple hubs.

am fecked, everyone is different and so on but didn't think I could average 184bpm for over an hour :S

Was researching panniers this week, ended up getting Ortliebs but if I was taking a punt at something cheaper, Rock Bros looked like a good option and come in 2 different sizes. Can be had from Ebay or direct from AliExpress.

Name that hub!?

They've pulled them down.. had the Vig open and saved all the pictures, will look on cache for the Shark..

Fouriers Alloy Out Front For GARMIN Edge 1000 800 500 MIO Bryton

Interesting, we could also use Poole (ferry/train timetables allowing) and go Caen/Cherbourg as a point to point ride. If you have any routes along those lines, would certainly be interested, thanks!

Thanks, some great suggestions! Portsmouth is the easiest train/ferry port for us on the SW side of London but as you say, must be lots of ways across that I'm just starting to discover.
A ferry from the East coast to Hook of Holland could open up some routes too, like the EuroVelo.

It's more that I want to ease my other half in who is relatively new to riding. This is why I'd rather skip the London > Coast sections because I know what the traffic is like and how much nicer it is on the other side of the channel but you are most likely right! Need a few lumps and bumps.

Looking at mini tours from London that are train and or ferry. 3-4 days riding, not mega distances, credit card touring - so light loaded. Did the Isle of Wight recently and that went well, so maybe try further afield.

So far, have come up with..

1. Cherbourg to St Malo - about 250km, mostly greenways
   https://en.tourdemanche.com has some interesting routes, could use the ferry into Portsmouth from the start and finish in France - but the schedule is very seasonal.

2. Amsterdam > Utrecht and then where ever time allows.
   Direct train to Amsterdam then heading into the countryside, see some friends in Utrecht. The new train service is ££££. Need to wait for a sale!

Open to other ideas!

Use both GP4000s and the Michelin Endurance... deffo the Michelin for the commuter, no issue using them on the odd bit of gravel either.

That's what came up from my research and a few people on here can vouch for them but I can't. https://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=GaCIROn&type=conversation&type=comment&id=185341&sort=date

I ended up buying a second Exposure Sirius for about £55 as I already have bunch of Exposure mounts.

GaCIROn have come up a few times on here. V9C-800 would probably fit the bill..

Winter prep in full swing, just received these rear lights as backups, initial impressions are excellent.

Sounds like most things in cycling then! :)
Could work well on my gfs bike, no room for bags and need to keep it light.
edit: Have found them elsewhere for a similar price to the Front roller range.
