Really need some space in my room and money in my pocket so feel free to buy stuff off me
Also have a tokyo fixed s2 frameset 59cm and a brand new 2017 dolan precursa frameset 58cm I might get rid of, 150quid each

have a brand new 2017 precursa 58cm in gunmetal grey, never got around to build it up and seems I am not going to. Too late to send it back so if anyone fancies it for ~150quid (50 off from retail) I'm happy to let it go.

what kind of back problems?

it is very super important to learn to brace your core properly. Lets you lift more with less risk of injury.
Also check hip/ankle mobility, or if you have buttwink in your squat.
Make sure you don't hyperextend in the squat. Pull your ribs down with your core, set your lats tight, and pull your hips under you (squeeze your glutes). Weight on the middle of your foot, feet slightly outside hip-width and when you come up push your knees out (try to separate the floor with your feet). This should keep you more upright and place less direct stress on your lower back.

yep in London, near Shadwell
can set you up with seatpost+saddle, stem/bar, chainring/cog/tyre?

got a brand new conti gatorskin 32c folding for a tenner

so excited to build it up

can I purchase one?

last one (Ben Venom's) is so Van Halen

yes and yes

quite want to get rid of the wheels so dropped the price again.

I've been using mavic yksion elite guard on my roadie which runs on omega vs, and really satisfied with them so far. Don't remember any difficulties fitting them, ca 1000km in and no punctures, grippy and cheap. Been using them for commute too, can't say anything but good.

80mm for a fiver?

thread updated, few stuff sold, some price drops.

ordered a new (2017) precursa in gmg. Really excited and got some really decent components to build it up as my all-rounder. Webpage says it takes 23c tyres max, but I sort of doubt it and IIRC I saw people with 25s too. It does take 25s right?
Ordered it yesterday morning but it doesn't yet show in the 'my orders' tab on my account overview. They say it takes a few days to process orders, but so far got no confirmation apart from the paypal receipt, which I find a bit curious. I'm not worried, was just wondering how many days it takes for them in reality to process/ship?

color is not that important
nice means something above miche/token/stronglight
46T only

as above, preferably in nice and good condition.

anyone knows a place in London where I could get a 1 1/8" to 1" ahead shim shortened a bit? need like a cm cut off

I only do oly lifting now, but before I kind of specified my strength work to aid sprinting too.

sets of 5 is a good starting point, so are sets of 3 if you're confident in technique and really want to improve power. However for really short, maximal efforts on the track it's just as important to get the legs going and practice really high cadence spinning.
I believe I got the biggest benefit from paused squats. Simple, you control it, get to the bottom, pause for a bit, the really explosively stand up. No bounce, nothing, just push the ground down. I don't think lifting for high end speed requires really sophisticated strength training, heavy squats/deadlifts and that's it. Just wanted to recommend paused squats instead of normal squats.

For 1min efforts, there are some more sophisticated shit you can try. Things like heavy singles EMOM, hypertrophy sets with more focus on speed of the lift, shorter timed rests between sets. I think it can really depend on where you are now, whether you need to spend more time on the bike doing maybe lactate tolerance kinda stuff for endurance or need more power to your engine to really push that 1min.

(also, I am pretty sure all the cleans and clean/snatch pulls help massively with explosive power if that's desired)
