Cheapest and most easiest would be p-clips and rack/carradice/bikepacking backs for the pickenflick?

Probably not at all relevant but if that’s the sort of think your after I came by this today from someone quite local - look nice for £50 if your looking for an edc -
Shit sticks.

Haha, well you've got an absolute bargain. Build it up cheaply with some silver finishing kit, and 9/10 speed shimano and you'll have an amazing bike.

If your quick, lemond frame, 853 pro team tubing, size 59. Lovely frames, I've got a zurich which is the same frame. Geometry can be found here. Only 1hr 30 to go @ £50

Anybody tried any of the new smps? Vulcor looks interesting - supposed to be the same shape as a composite, just a tad wider.

Depends what your fishing for at the end of the day but a 9ft 6-8wt should be perfect. Bigger flies and stronger wind = heavier weight line. Travel rods make commuting to fishing spots via bike so much easier, and shakespeare make cheapish travel fly rods, but at the end of the day just use what you've got.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHAKESPEARE-NEW-AGILITY2-EXP-7-PIECE-TRAVEL-FLY-FISHING-ROD-TUBE-/372309393181?var=Trick with any sort of casting is mostly timing, watch your fly line to make sure its properly unfurling behind you. With regards to wading, in the summer, the easiest thing to do is just go in shorts and use a battered pair of trainers. Tide times, time of day and weather have a massive effect, and if by trying to cast five extra metres means it ends in a heap you're not going to catch anything.

Ok so I’m looking to try out some longer cranks, and fancy going from 172.5 to 180mm. The frame I’m thinking on running them on however, has tight crank arm clearance even with 172.5mm 5800 cranks, and had to have the chainstay dimpled to get to fit.
Only sram really do cheaper 180 Mm cranks and ive found the dimensions clearance wise for these, but does anybody know where I can find the dimensions for hollow tech cranks?
Equally if this doesn’t work what would be my options for getting more clearance to the chainstay apart from another “tactical dent”? Can I space out a gxp or hollowtech bb?

For mid race twin swap to prevent what happened in giro?
-
Isn’t that a fairly average statistic for a domestique? Most will drop out of a one day race when their job is done or tick along to the finish if it’s relatively close.

Still time..

skinny's TCR?
-
yeah reported on itv4 coverage, assume he was dropped and trying to get back on

financial nous

Given the number of races and riders surely lots do? I’d imagine most of the top ten? Obviously not all in the same a state of dehydration.

Hmm. Ok all that well may be true but would the uci not take into account this variability when they set the limit for that particular specified substance in the first place? Possibly not, and it may need reevaluating. However does anybody actually have a figure on the number of pro peloton athletes who have asthma/use inhalers? I’m likely wrong but I have it in my mind it’s quite high, and given that a lot of these inhaler users will be be in a similar physical state to froome, And between the entire peleton get tested so often wouldnt we see a much much higher false positive rate if the limit was so easily exceeded by physiological and QC variability than the 3 or so in the past 4-5 years?
-
Are they both doing the vuelta? I would have though Adam would sit it out after tdf given hes quite young? Although I know it’s supposed to be good prep for the next season. Haha well on paper they’d be great as you say I’d be pleasantly surprised if it comes to anything
-
Not a Yates? Thomas doesn’t have form that I know of in hilly one days, and froome has zero results in races like that?
-
froome and lopez caught out in the split. Yates and dumoulin in the peloton by the looks of things.
-
Deployed the AeroTongue® to good effect
-
Does hive mind reckon Yates will be able to continue this form though?

Yeah, my ds crank wouldn’t clear, but Matt/Caren put a small tactical dent in the chainstay and all’s been fineness since
