    It's raining

    Well it doesn't get my mobile phone wet. I've only been in one really bad lot of rain... there was a flood of a couple of inches running down the road. I would say it's waterproof enough for me

    It's raining

    I just use https://www.decathlon.co.uk/500-ultralight-windproof-cycling-jacket-white-id_8283388.html It's light and folds small. If the sun comes out , it comes off and then I hide it under my jacket. It's got vents under the arms and at the back. It's so good I take it travelling. If you want...

    Ouch

    Well oddly enough all my falls have been on the left side. Not sure what that means. I wonder if statistically that is common amongst cyclists? So when I get this crank arm power meter... it's going on the right side :rolleyes: After watching Phil Gaimon's efforts, this year will be big hill...

    Yep. The hills will blow the cobwebs away for sure... love the acceleration and all those chasing you go smaller and smaller

    Little tweaks

    Ok... revelation time Old on the left... new on the right. Right is considerably lighter, more aero and better fit (and cheaper). If you are in Decathlon... try a pair. They are the Btwin 900 Chaussures velo 900 noir. It should be interesting how many watts saved with one shoe size. When...

    Ouch

    It's embarrssing to say but sometime. Once in a royal blue moon I would be clipped in and I would forget my centre of balance just for a moment and I would keel over. Just remember to relax and let the handlebar take the impact. Novices usually ding their elbows and knees. (I am still a...

    Ouch

    I've done the superman impression on a DF. It wasn't going on a descent balancing on the seat going 90kph but going head first over the handlebars to avoid a dog shooting out in front of me as I was sprinting. I landed on my rib cage. It's agony for 3 months. You have my sympathies

    Ouch

    Hey @nobrakes ... really sorry to read about your plight. It could have been worse. It could have happened if you were riding a DF. At least you didn't brake your bones. It's a great idea to have an aluminum handlebar too. It doesn't crack... a few grazes can be covered up. I've had a blowout on...

    Has anyone tried a CruzBike "fixie?"

    Has anyone tried a CruzBike "fixie?"

    You also find fixies in ciclocross and steep hill races. I am attracted to the aero capabilities. 120mm frame dropout size is a lot less than 135mm. Pinion also do a crank gearbox that would fit a 120mm dropout frame size. So how about a s40 with 120mm frame dropout with pinion compatibility...
