got one

How much are you looking for?

I am looking for a good quality,adjustable resistance turbo trainer.

Always meant to ask, if going over Erskine Bridge from Erskine and heading fror Milngavie, can you go onto carriageway at end of cycle lane and onto slip road rather than have to go under bridge?

Sold.

That explains what was going on when I rode past!

I have a almost new Fizik Arione Saddle, black in colour. Ridden only 200 miles in the dry this year. £35 and it yours. Evans currently doing it at 30% off at £69.99 Buyer collects from Renfrew. 07713 390671or DM me.

Tony yes, I saw aht you did there.

Thanks all Really enjoyed today, good company and a great ride. 71 miles door to door.

Hi all I will the other group at 9:15 as from home door to door if they do 50 miles will give me around 65. The bail out options on the 90 miler are perhaps a bit difficult. Have a good one.

Billy Pike track? No idea what/where that is.

See you all at 8:15

Billy Thanks, where are you starting from and when? Ronnie

Hi I was looking to come along and join. 90 miler a bit beyond me at moment, any 50-60 mile groups ?

Thanks for the timekeeping this evening guys, headwind at the turn was pretty bad. Can I hijack this post and also say I cannot join the club on line as the link appears to be dead and I have also emailed admin.

Hi, can I put myself down on the start list as well please? I have done a few TTs with the club before, was out with a bunch today and want to join. BTW: 30 milers today?great sense of rounding down went on there to make it 30!!!! Loved it though.

Hi, as one of the new faces I would like to thank you all for today, 63 miles door to door, see you next week

Although not a member I have been following these threads with great interest, good luck to all involved

I think it is 14 days, certainly thats what sign said today

There are two main kinds, rim trainers and the more common one where the tyre itself makes contact with the resistance roller. I work away a lot so take my training bike with me most of the time, the benefits of the rim trainer is you can just hook the bike up and train, with the ones where the tyre makes contact you will need to use a special tyre or it will overheat, the downside is obviously if you have a dedicated winter/turbo bike then you will have to swap tyres if you want to go out on the road. I can also recommend the Minoura trainers. On a related topic, as I through necessity spend a lot of time on the turbo I use the sufferfest movies on my ipod and this helps to keep the motivation going. www.thesufferfest.com. Angels is the best of the lot.

Thank you for everyones advice, especially the offer of a trial of the Boardman. Here is the outcome: I went into Halfords today with an open mind (Paisley branch) unfortunately the young chap behind the counter did not seem to know exactly what bikes were in the range, and my requests for prices to change the front chairing were returned with a blank look initially, this for better or worse was not a good start in regard to service back up from this retailer so took my money elsewhere. Since you guys champion Dooleys so much I took a wonder over, it took only a few minutes of speaking to the staff to confirm this was a better choice, I am now placing my order on Monday for a Kuota Kharma, full carbon and 105 for £1500, a little more than I was willing to go to but looks like a great deal. And to seal the deal they will put a 53/39 on for me. Now all I need now is a Cancellera style motor to stop being shunted off of the back of the Renfrew bunch!!

Hi, I wonder if I could seek some advice. I am looking to upgrade my bike, I currently ride a Trek 1200 with 50/39 and 12/ 26 gears, and can just about maintain 25mph on the West ferry at full gas, and can get up the Clune ok on my current set up but have no gears left at the first section I am thinking of getting a compact chain set on my new purchase, the Boardman has a 50/34 and 11/25 set up. My question is that since most of my riding is done around this area, what are the benefits of a compact? I am worried that overall I can just about manage with my current set up and that I may run out of gears if going down hill or have a decent wind at my back (this of course could be nonsense!) Also whats the view on the Boardman brand? (I am nervous about Halfords) Thanks in advance

Sorry Kenny I was in Norwich today! Back home for a now so will be out on the next few TTs.

Wouldn't mind joining in, can just about manage sub25 on that course on a really good day but not really used to riding in groups at pace, maybe not the best time to satrt ! Did a couple of 2ups on the Georgetown Road last year with JW.
