  1. Not quite spied a wheeler, but heard a wheeler!

     

    A certain Mr Greg Balden on Real XS at about 8am this morning, winning a competition of a meal for two in Barrhead! Nice one Greg.

     

    Can't believe you didn't give a shout out to the mighty JWCC!!

     

    Second prize was 2 meals in Barrhead.

  2. There are 2 races in Cumbria in easy reach over the next few weeks.

     

    First of all 20th of July in Greystoke near Penrith and then on the 4th of August in Carlisle. My plan for both was to get the train down as it only takes an hour and both are riding distance from stations with no changes from Glasgow. No preenty required on either and they have a full card of Junior races too.

     

    Also, on the 3rd of August there is a Cross up in Arbedour I was planning on doing too.

     

    Anybody else fancy any of the above?

  3. I struggle with these as well Jan.

     

    Try soaking it in GT85 or similar and taking it off the chainring, then the process described above.

     

    If that doesn't work, buy a new link and split the chain with a chain tool (I may have resorted to this in the past)

  4. Vayer won't reveal his methods of calculation. He reckons he can estimate power to within 2% accuracy, but given the variables (bike weight, gradient, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction) this seems unlikely and as he won't show us his workings, how would we know? I doubt I could estimate most riders weight to within 2%.

     

    In short, it's guess work.

  5. From Cyclesport: At a Pinarello Launch in the middle of the Giro before Wiggins ducked out, he apologised for chucking his bike in the Trentino and said "It's not the bike, it's Shimano i'm mad at. If you're going to buy one of these, don't buy it with the electronic group from Shimano, buy the Campag one"

  6. Sean,

     

    What's the latest on UCI rules, etc....?

     

    Kenny

     

    As I understand it those rules only apply to UCI sanctioned events and, therefore, don't matter for open events under BC/CTT rules.
