I have two extras, massive and ugly as you say. Didnt want to spend $$$ so picked up a hell from Lordgun for €64.99, not as nice as the high end ones but looks much better than the extra

Just picked up a Pave 28 wheelset halfprice for £99, white rims but couldn't resist at that price, gold also available!!

not sure if tied to my account

Not as recovered as I thought, hopefully next time, have a good ride

Just got over food poisoning but keep missing these, will decide in the morning if i can make it, will get train from waterloo

guessing its not time for mud tyres yet?

Using the £20 off £50 code for prime now you can get an GoPro Hero for £71 which is pretty cheap, (£95ish elesewhere). Will need a London address for delivery (which might be within the hour) and to install the app on a iphone/android phone to order

Seems it has the best quality for a budget camera and that gets the price down quite a bit. Only think i was worried about was the bulk sticking up on my head, anyone tried a helmet strap?

any pubs in Hackney/Haringey likely to show it in the garden?

Cheers, will also add a massive thanks for the advise on the extra being a good gateway, wouldn't go near a normal saddle anymore.

Where's your shop?

Is the hell as tall as the extra? I'm alternating 2 extras between my fixed/road/mountain bikes but the seat post is rusted in on the fixed and the high height of the saddle is a bit too much

Cheers all, I run hot and are often dripping so sounds good for me, Sportful mesh base layers are £10.50 on wiggle at the moment so will give one a try

Do they genuinely make you cooler than not wearing one in the hot then?

would be wearing under a sportwool jersey most of the time

Cant afford a fit at the moment so brought book by Phil Burt and using video capture with Kinovea video analysis program. Need to redo in shorts and with a stand & camera rather than phone but looks like will be useful, was feeling 100% in this shot but looks like hamstrings arent flexible enough or saddle too low, going to see what happens when i raise it

I will be along to one at least, confirm soon.

Went out with Mbro35 on Saturday, trails were really dry, we did lots of bits around Chingford they hadn't been able to do since last year then up to Epping, didnt realise trails were so good around both places, struggle to find much by myself

because its recessed or because the bracket will foul the frame?

mystery solved, turns out its both, and QR comes on the model I'm after which is nice

The rear wheel has been upgraded to a 142x12mm axle, which ties the back end together tightly. The drop-outs are convertible between the 142x12mm and standard 135x5mm quick release via removable inserts, so your old set of race or training wheels will still fit. That said, when set up for 135x5mm, the dropouts remain ‘closed’ so you need to completely remove the skewer before the wheel will come out—it’s a little inconvenient and no longer a ‘quick’ release.

Haha yeah, I actually asked about it on there but not holding my breath

Guess will just have to order one into store

The strange thing is the frame is closed dropouts but isnt thu axle, Trek website;

*Q: Is the 12x142 axle included with bike?

Staff Reviewer
A: This bike comes equipped with a rear quick release and does not include a thru axle.*

Anyone got a recent superfly? Am trying to choose between the superfly 5 and x-caliber 9 (ride2work), frame seems definitely nicer on the superfly but no rack mounts, going to need a rack+panniers when I goto the TT on the IOM.

Looking at fitting the Tubus Adapter Set QR, the Superfly 5 does have a QR but with closed convert dropouts (135-5 spacing) which is confusing me (ive been away from mtbing since bar ends and gripshift)

Just reported a taxi to road safe that decided to punishment pass me twice down mile end road, made me think about getting a camera but from the wording on road safe they wouldn't accept video as evidence of a close pass?

Videos should not be edited in any way. They must not rely on a perception of distance such as a close pass as the apparent distance will vary according to the type camera and settings. There are other issues with video evidence, such as parallax error, which makes objects appear close together when they are seen in line. In general, evidence of provocation or disproportionate reaction will mean that no action is taken.

Managed to get in first try, might actually meet some people from the forum at this rate

Entry open now

Saw a post on urban75 saying entry opened today but no sign on website yet

This one just confused me but looking at it afterwards by raising the twisting the stand the lock will probably just slide off with the bike
