It wasn't a 5800 lever, but a 105 hydraulic shifter. The ones with the big ugly bulbous hoods. Seems to be a really common problem with them that the spring breaks, but you can't buy replacement springs. My local bike shop managed to fix it by making a new spring from piano wire. The guy there said he'd seen loads of these come though and need similar fixes so was quite good at it by now.

I'm pretty sure I have the Canyon garmin mount lying around in a box that I'd happily sell you for cheap. It doesn't also do go pro, though.

I just got an email from BC ....

I’m writing to invite you to an optional Volunteer Forum event, which will take place virtually on Tuesday 8 November at 6:30pm, and be led by British Cycling’s Commercial Director, Darren Henry, and Head of Commercial Partnerships, Chris Williams.

In the session, Darren and Chris will run through a short presentation and answer questions on our current commercial partnerships, our work to secure new partners, and how our work with partners can support us to deliver our ‘Lead our sport, inspire our communities’ strategy.

Due to the number of people we expect to attend, questions should be submitted in advance to volunteering@britishcycling.org.uk , by 12pm on Friday 4 November. The session won't be recorded, however, if you're not able to attend on this date, we're planning to host similar opportunities in the future as part of our work to strengthen communications with our volunteers and workforce. Therefore, I look forward to seeing some of you virtually next week and meeting many more of you in the months and years ahead.

My 4iii precision left sided only PM has given up the ghost, only about 3 months after the warranty expired ...

It started reading clearly very low in the middle of a ride, and my attempts to recalibrate and zero offset via my head unit or the mobile app don't work. Customer service have been great at trying to help get it working, but have reached the end of what they can diagnose and fix. Sounds like they think it's hardware rather than software.

They've offered me 50% off the price of fitting a new one to my crank arm, which would then be covered by a new warranty. I'll probably go for that, but it will likely be quite annoying and expensive posting it to the USA and then getting it back to the UK. Before I do so, just checking if anyone else has any ideas or experience on how to fix this?

I don't see why not if you've got room and willingness to store 2 thing. I think it'll be a better solution as it gives you more flexibility. For example 1 in the utility drying out laundry and another outside a bathroom where you've just had a shower.

This arrived on Wednesday, and I'm very pleased with it so far. After reading reviews I decided to go for a dessicant model rather than a compressor. I paid 180 from Amazon.

You could connect your Wahoo account to to auto upload activities to another service (trainingpeaks or strava, for example) and view data about your ride via their desktop websites. I'll always review workouts in training peaks rather than the wahoo app itself, for example.

That's a good idea! I might look into them for next year, as I only tend to do 6k miles per year. For this year I shopped around and tried to haggle with my current insurer, but ended up having to switch to get the best price, which was only about 20 quid more than last year.

Yep! All gone up this year for me too despite no changes

Turnout looks pretty good. All the DNS were apologies in advance. That's a lot of KWCC members entered, though. It is awesome that they can get so many entrants! My club has about 450 members and we generally have only 6-8 members enter the open HC we organise.

I'm gonna try the POC mitts, currently £25 on wiggle in my size in black. I've just had the 3rd pair of Morvelo mitts break after just the 2nd ride, so have asked PBK for a full refund rather than the charade of sending me another pair and hoping they will be better quality. They just seem to be a terribly made mitt!

Chat a few pages back about getting the BC Gold discount on TrainingPeaks, and I realised this morning that I needed to renew my subscription...

Clicked around a bit on the BC members section and managed to find it here.

Mmm okay, quality of this pair was extremely poor. 2nd ride and the stitching at the thumb came apart. I'll ask for a replacement and hope for better.

Morvelo mitts in large just arrived. I usually would wear a small in most other brands of glove, but only sizes large and upwards seem to be available anywhere online.

Initial impressions are good - just what I was after. The large size is fine, but I reckon that a medium would have been a slightly better fit had that been available. Hopefully they'll shrink a bit the first time I wash them.

If I don't report back on durability any time soon then that's good news on that front ;-)

A big thank you for the recommendation, @M_V - I really appreciate it!

Mmm yeah I've noticed that too. I've not really seen tons of Kennaugh doing analysis in the past, so perhaps it's just how he speaks. I read it similarly to you, though - that he suspects some sort of unfair advantage.

Hmmm, Morvelo very helpfully say that "gloves are a standard size. If you are normally a medium order a medium"

I'm gonna risk it with a large pair, which I may regret...

Morvelo do look okay and certainly worth a punt at 15 quid. I cant find a size guide for their gloves, though? I've fairly small hands for a man and they only seem to do them in large and above.

Can anyone recommend a pair of mitts with minimal (preferably no) padding that will be durable, that are currently for sale?

My last pair of the old specialized BG mitts have finally given up. The ones with the pittard leather palm.

I'm looking for something that will stop my sweaty hands feeling like they might slip off the levers when I'm really going for it on a steep climb in the heat of summer.

I looked at the giro jag mentioned upthread and just think they are gonna have too much padding. Gripgrab look like they have 2 models that might fit the bill. DHB aeron maybe? Or Gore C3?

The latest Kojey Radical album is not entirely awesome, but has some good tracks on it. Similar with the new Lupe Fiasco album.

I don't think so - the Roam came out in 2019, I think, so still relatively new.

My Bolt V2 works fantastically - I didn't have the issue that people like DC Rainmaker talked about at launch (but I live in Derby so not a huge city), and have had no issues at all since I bought it nearly a year ago.

Google are forcing app developers to use Google's own payment system, which gives Google a 30% cut of every sale. Amazon are not okay with that, so pushing people to use the website to buy things, where they don't have to give 30% of their revenue to another company.

Yeah, they are both threaded the opposite way. If you look closely they have their own threads. That should solve your problem.

Ooft, that's a good price! I had been tempted on some favero assioma duo shi pedals, but might just do this instead...

Anyone used Wahoo SYSTM/X and got an opinion? Seems actually fairly good value for an annual subscription from what I can see.

You might be very close to where I live if you're hanging out there ... I've not seen that bike around, though, and it's also not mine.
