I found it was so long that I keep forgetting all the good stuff that it had through it, but days later I know it had good stuff. I like the variation in scenes, except the extreme close up use of wide angle, that irked me a little, but if that was the only issue once or twice in 2 1/2 hours, it did well.

Really missing my Condor 700/700 now. :(

Saddle like what sorry? It's a badly angled photo, but the saddle is actually horizontal (rails are parallel to ground) if that's what you mean... must take some vanity pictures some point.

Edit, or if you meant so far forward, it was the setup from riding on the tt bars a lot with the current stem.

So much why. Loving this thread more every page.

Synapse Carbon, 2010 or something? It's had a hard life. Terrible pic was halfway through the last long ride over a week ago. Needs a few more upgrades to full DA I think. Currently mixed gruppo, DA and 105 (originally 105, upgrading as I come across parts).

Who outbid me on those used Arturo leather cycle shoes, then?

Damn!

The Revenant was pretty good.

NO WAY.

Love that book.

Dat headtube.... it's like... anti-lopro

Why did I only just find out download/cnet are now malware/adware riddled downloads?
Whyyyyy?

Woke up to Yahoo search bar with a dodgy url link in firefox startup. Much effort to remove all that shitware, even on a Mac.

Need one 190 nds crank

Hehe... I love throwing out these names, normally nobody knows who I'm on about. I'm a bigger fan of NDW music, but I came onto Bongwater cos of the link to Pulsallama, found by accident from all the No Wave stuff like Friction. Awesome shit

Bad ankle pain (inside directly on the bone and above). Was symmetrical, but has healed quicker one side than the other leaving me sore.

This is after the 100 miles last week. I thought it was an overdoing-it injury, but week later it's still creaking as I move.

Any clues what to change? It was a long, long ride but not had the issue before with any of my bikes. I have little or no float in the shimano cleats, but as said, wasn't a problem before on 90 miles up hills and stuff, and never a problem on 30-50 mile rides with the setup unchanged.

As far as I can see, my feet remain quite level, I don't point toes down much or at all, and the cleat is back as far as possible to avoid this anyway. Maybe angle?

Trying to dress better. I wear out trainers crazy quick, but I have cobbler friends so I can get real soles and heels done very cheap to a high standard

I wish that 100 miles Swindon-London on thursday last week gave views as pretty as the rest of you had. The A4 isn't exactly a scenic route.

Ah there's a pair in my size on the auction site, I hope nobody here bids me up! Be nice to get them cheap enough to try, even if they are well-used.

Thanks, yea, saw them a little while back but feel a little like they're a halfway house, but in the wrong direction. I'd prefer something that I wasn't going to need to work on the sole and heel of straight away.

Why can't I find any 'nice' and 'quality' leather shoes that are suitable for cycling in? I'm trying to get out the habit of wearing trainers all the time, but I don't want to pay £billions on vintage style touring shoes.

Or, any ideas on leather shoes that have a short toe cap?

Soooo many people without even a piss-weak light or reflector on their bike. Both in town, and out here in the sticks. Gets a bit silly as they wobble and change course.

Bloody hell it was cold. Thumbs up again for the KTM pack, with extra straps to secure it tighter to reduce swing

Gonna cycle from Swindon to London tomorrow. Looks like it's the easier direction with barely any incline over the 100miles (to return would be all uphill, maybe I wimp out and take the train back).

Going to test out the 2010 'dale synapse carbon with the giant KTM seatpack and a small backpack. Must see if it handles well enough to use as an ultralight road-only bikepacker.

Consider it a guide ;) the file says it was last updated in 2011, so there's a whole bunch from 2011-2015 that aren't on the list. I'm keen to keep hold of the collection but don't mind selling a couple if it suits. If there's anything let me know, and I can see if there are others not listed that are similar.

First time I've looked at the Kuota since the summer. Tried a 10spd cassette on the Juna Ozzo trispoke, and it fits fine, it was a little tight to get the lockring on, but it locked down with enough turns, and enough space for the axle to clear the cassette on the bike. Maybe spacing it a little won't cause any dishing problems, but might give a little extra safe clearance, tolerances are tight at the mo. Maybe I'm just nervous after seeing oodles of space from the 7spd cassette on a 9/10spd freehub.

Big question, not sure how to phrase it or I'd use the forum search:

I thought the trispoke was out of true, because there's a bit of a wobble. Noticed as I spin the wheel on the bike that when I let it freewheel, the cassette (static) also follows the wobble, does that make sense? It's like the axle is a little bent? As if the whole wheel moves across a little from the hub.

Could there be something bent in the hub? Or is it loose parts? The wobble is consistent, always a dip in one direction at the same point of rotation (like a wheel out of true).
