@wqvm not necessarily.

New, new.

Not so much, it's a Retag from 2010! Still open until I post a new one.

I know, the images wouldn't upload!
Old - horse shoe bridge by Springfield Marina

Image upload fail. Off to find wifi.

Damn, tagzumped.

Use street view to memorise where the turn is (5 miles in), that's about it.
There is an annoying drag just after the turn so I try to recover slightly on the roundabout and get as much speed off the slip road as I can.

Yeah, I saw this a while back and filed it in the purile sexist shit folder. Not welcome on the forum.

Reccomendations for a builder/bathroom guy in East London?

Looking to knock my existing bathroom/wc into one room and extend it slightly, which includes new stud walls etc. Then fit it out as a new toilet/shower room.

Think it's been like that for a while now. It's fine for a pootle, but it's a pedestrian path so not really safe to gun it along there.

I'll take it. Are you around tomorrow afternoon? I will hopefully finish work early in Hoxton as I have to be in at 5.30am!

Ouch. Hope you heal up fast.

Did 100k in Kent, avoiding small lanes and it was fine.

@Peter_Carter @frank9755 I didn't realise they were that expensive. Can we not get sponsored by Dimension Data? Is the technology different from the big sportives?

@onyerbike I could be interested, but suspect I'm an XL.

I'm sure the nopinz one is great but when it's £79 vs £240 I'm not sure I can justify the difference.

Also, is that bioracer one the same as the one nopinz helped develop and are selling on their site for £175?

If I only have a crap generic skin suit that I want to replace, is this a good option? I know the Castelli ones are highly rated, but I worry about their durability. These look a bit more durable.

There is someone selling a 59cm Ritchey Road logic frame on here.

I switched from Force 10 speed btw and Ultegra was an improvement.

I have Ultegra brakes and I really doubt that the callipers are the problem. I use the DA pads and have had no problem at all. I'm not exactly lightweight either.

I did 'toe in' the front brake too much once which noticeably reduced the stopping power, I guess because so little of the pad was actually in contact.

I'm thinking of doing the Deloitte one with a friend this year, for charity, but may also be going on a week long cycling holiday to Nice or Mallorca not long after.

What sort of toll does this kind of ride take In your body and how long should I leave afterwards before another big week?

I know it's a very general question, but it would be good to know how people felt after doing this kind of thing for the first time.

Previous trips have been 7 days of 100km+ hilly rides in Mallorca etc and have never felt like I needed time off after. In fact I smashed my 10mile pb after a week in Nice.

In that situation I would ask for pictures, or a model number!

My new 15" Touchbar MBP arrived. It is pretty but I've not really tested it yet.
Disappointing that Chrome has no support at all for touch bar yet, a guess they are doing it on purpose, to prove a point or something.

I use Bikmo. They were fast and efficient on the once claim I have made. Reason I'm with them is they cover bikes and bike boxes during travel which I think is a grey area for some insurance.

Plus things like you can claim a rental bike if yours is lost or damaged so your trip to Mallorca isn't ruined. Also covered a £100 taxi I had to get to hospital after a crash in the peak district.

Was with M&S as part of home insurance before, and they were good, but the cost difference was worth the extra cycle specific differences.

Yeah, it looks identical to the fluid one but had a handlebar mounted dial (on a cable) that you can use to adjust the resistance. It's done through the magic of magnets.

I use it with trainer road so permanently have it set on one resistance setting and just change into little ring for recovery.

@hugo7 I have the Elite Chrono Hydro Mag elastogel which I'm thinking of upgrading to a direct drive one so it could be up for grabs, I got a good deal on it so would happily let it go for £100.

Same as the one you linked to above, but with adjustable magnetic resistance which you will want if your riding fixed. If you are in London, you are more that welcome to try it out.
