ok ... Potentially I think I got off very lightly. Front inner tube blew out because it got pinched by the tire. Fortunately I didn't have time to even clip out. I just got dragged down the road with my feet in safety locked into the pedals. The seat took the brunt of the force and just got...

I am pleased I never had to. These guys must be riding the wrong bikes http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/10/news/jeremys-redhook-bike-throw-stack_422201 Haaaa Haaaa

ok enough irritations for a season. Fifth pair of Jabra pulse ear buds have stopped working. I have two sets that I keep sending back. I think the system is unreliable for recumbent riding. Don't know what it is? Perhaps it's because the head is laid back and the sweat just runs into the ears. I...

I am so mean I even take the bar tape off and wash it clean. Why buy more if the old will do?

Feeling confident on the bike comes with experience and the know how to fix little things. It's surprising just what a few little changes can do on a bike. Certainly by reducing drag on the front of the bike helps a lot, especially if you can move the offending item to the rear wheel. Such as...

Turn it upside down for a night and then turn it right way up and see what happens. Certainly works for the Vendetta 2.0!

Just loved that saying from the Borg. Very classic and it's true with cycling? Why not change into something a little different? Why not buy that super duper Cruzbike seat that will save you a pound in weight; the one piece seat would be stiffer than the standard two piece seat as it's pure...

Has anyone been a daredevil? They are supposed to save milliseconds which probably add up in a century ride. It seems like some of us want the ultimate (finger on the nose). I know the TT DF tribe spends millions in order to be number 1 ... Like the Brits with Team Sky... They have had a great...

Today I had the interesting idea of core temperature associated with fatigue and hydration. It all goes together in a strange correlation. There must be different thresholds or barriers that the body has to deal with and I guess it's associated with what you wear too. I was on the mountain bike...

i have been doing this ketogenic diet now for 10 weeks, I notice surpringly at odd pains in my body. This season I switched to carbon racing shoes and look pedals. I am utilising more power for longer. Each week I try to do one endurance ride of 80km and oddly the part of my body that feels it...

carbon frames have just got lighter... http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/product-news/dassi-graphene-frame-260002

well I don't like carrying a great big heavy lock. I wouldn't mind having a finger print release strap on my helmet so when I get off the bike I can secure it around the wheel and bike frame or have someone looking over the bike like this guy... Bicycle thief suspect lassoed by rancher in...

For the last 4 days , no riding because of an advent doing ACIM. Lots of interest into this. I am one of those that believes if you don't observe then the universe ((my) Universe freezes... It just stops). So coming back from that sort of reality into one of a Cruzbike reality was very...

Sometimes the Thread Title doesn't come naturally. The ride was the first real ride where I was pushing it after a knee injury after 3.5 weeks. I have now changed my training routine and diet. Recovery rides every other ride which includes stretches. I physically stop the bike, get off and...

Ok... guess some of you still have the odd DF in the garage. There is a drop dead gorgeous DF on kickstarter from speedx called the Leopard Pro. I just love the idea of doing a big climb on a light bike. The idea too of packing a light bike into a compact carbon suitcase and travelling around...

Its been two and a'half weeks since I had a knee issue. I have been stretching every day and doing knee strengthening exercises. It's essentially a recovery ride every day and I have felt better not clipping in but just going plain idle on a DF that's lighter than my MTB. So today is the day I...

So going tubeless on a 80mm deep rim, what sort of valve to get in order to make this wheel tubeless? I bought this from www.light-bicycle.com , and it looks pretty good. Keep you posted...

Well, the fitter one gets, the more distance travelled in the less time. I noticed when stacking up some 50 mile fast rides lately that the balls of the feet were ending up sore. After reviewing and observing some well known long distance riders it became apparent to go for a nice stiff carbon...

Everyone likes to look Bravado and one of the steps in cycling is being able to take your hands off the handlebars and steer and pedal with the feet. For cruzbiker's this is no mean feat. However I can see the time when this will happen for me but it won't if I still continue to use Q Rings. Q...

LOL... Yesterday has gone and I can't tell you how relieved I am about it. I took the Cyclocross bike out yesterday; just have an easy time. Just got back from a week of sight seeing in Granada. Don't know what it is about sight seeing but everything really aches. Funny that consistently on the...
