Any videos kicking about? Had a quick look but nothing jumped out.

As above, if it's frost I'll keep using my 700x23c tyres on the roadie. If it's snow or ice I get the CX bike out with clearance for 700x33c knobbly tyres.

It's a fair point but most of my riding is short bursts of 10 miles i.e. my commute. That will count for >4000 miles of riding and my average commuting speed over the last few months has been generally around 18mph on the way to work and >20mph on the way home (westerly wind). If the...

Don't see why. I upped my avg speed by 1.2mph over the last year and can't see why I couldn't do the same again next year so if I push a little harder than I did this year I'm there.

2011 Rode 450 miles London to Newcastle via Manchester. ~3500 miles in the year at avg speed 16.2mph. 2012 Rode 600 miles Newcastle to Paris. C2C Whitehaven to Tynemouth - 136 hilly miles in 1 day. Virgin Cyclone - 104 hilly miles in 6 hours 49 minutes. ~5000 miles in the year at avg speed...

You should lock the frame and the rear wheel to something immovable using a D lock, as well as the front wheel and saddle if you can. Something like this would do the job. Proper locking technique

I have some HIGH5 recovery but it tastes horrendous so I normally eat cake and have some meat instead.:D

I've never had any problems but have heard of others having those problems - is the issue with the seat post mount rather than the clip on the light itself? Mine just clips onto the saddlebag (much like Shimmyhill's photo).

Sufferfest is amazing. The only thing that gets me back on the turbo and looking forward to puking in a bucket!

You can take the magnet off completely and it should log your speed based on GPS alone. That's what I've done because the magnet based figures were off - maybe check your batteries if they're not also brand new. When the batteries get low the sensor is a bit hit and miss. The above is...

Steven Taylor Michael Bridges No-one else springs to mind although it was a pupil at my school who kicked off one of the big 'controversies' around working class entries into Oxford about 12 years ago

Nice find on the ebay voucher. Got myself a front and rear knog backup light for emergencies for nothing (benefits of my wife also having an ebay account)! :)

Loose your way? As opposed to lose your way. Typos/spelling errors are fine on forums but I'd expect a company the size of Halfords to have some sort of proofing process.

That is a fail. Good deal though.

I've used free Euro OSM maps from here and successfully navigated from Calais to the Champs Elysees in Paris - no problems with them whatsoever, and they seemed more reliable than the Garmin ones some of my friends had.

I have this bar which feels fairly shallow compared to my previous ones. Very comfortable. Might not suit everyone though.

Anyone got any idea how I figure out the correct spoke type/length to replace a broken non-driveside spoke on my Easton EA50 Aero rear wheel? I believe they're Sapim double butted spokes with a j-bend but no idea of the size, and struggling to find bladed versions anywhere online. Emailed...

Depends on your weight, tyre width and personal preference. I'm 115 at the back and 105 front.
