Quick spin into town with a friend for coffee and to pick up some bar tape, inspired by @wynne ofcourse. I weened myself off caffeine around January time and usually just grab decaf as I do enjoy the taste of it but alas we got our drinks mixed up and didn't notice till about half way...

anxiously awaiting the start of todays peanut butter thread

I skated a load of those Almost double impact decks when they came out, felt springy but probably placebo more than anything in the same tier as Bonite, Element doing featherlight which iirc was a carbon and helium combo etc. Always wanted to try one of the Mullen Uberlights but I can remember...

As much as I love summer mornings the sunrises seem to be significantly better when it's approaching autumn. 26 miles this morning, happy to be back up to a 17+ mph average.

Been a bit wary if not slightly anxious about getting out, easy to make excuses in that frame of mind ie oh I can’t go out at x time because rush hour or blaming wind or whatever although I’d say the clothing excuse is a valid one considering I spent a good chunk on bib shorts/short sleeve...

@Antwack gave them to a neighbour for his commuter, still going strong! @sam_white was gonna say you already asked that a few months back and I couldn't find one but figured I'd double check, maybe the t-cut and cleaning brought it out more. SL201387. Did end up cabling this with some Tektro...

Great to be back out on a roadie but christ my road legs are shot - tried to supplement it with running and being out on the mtb but it's nowhere near the same, I do not feel like the same person who was doing 5am 70 mile 5k elevation rides less than two months ago but it'll come back 🤞

Thought I may as well start a thread due to interest when mentioning it in other areas of the forum. To cut a long story short I got knocked off in June which wrote off my Bianchi and whilst I will be compensated for it, solicitors are slow and theres only so much pottering about on an mtb I can...

Early and short, traffic doesn't get bad around here until around 8am but with it being the first day back for schoolkids I got home a bit earlier. There's a pretty short but taxing climb right before I get home which I'd normally go full pelt at but that road ends up essentially being a single...

Don't get me wrong I don't mind it and there's a lot of nice routes here but as I've mentioned in the past for me getting back into cycling coincided with a lot of lifestyle changes in terms of becoming healthier/fitter etc, and as enjoyable as riding my Kona/Inbred was there's a definite...

Cheers mate, still some aches and pains but much better than a month ago (meds help hah), glad to be back out on the bike mostly especially considering recent news ie Froome's crash, I think TDF this year had 13 or 14 abandons due to crash injury etc. Feels a bit bland for me pottering about on...

Slight amount of bike anxiety the last few days, I do try and get out as early as possible but some days due to schedule (or just straight up not being bothered) it's not possible. I'd say I'm more comfortable on road compared to bridleways/shared paths/etc (odd I know) but as much as there's a...

Various stages of Inbreeding, after turning into a roadie it sat unused for a while before I picked up a cheap Rockshox fork off FB. XC30 so techically a 27.5 fork but not insane amounts of travel at 120mm so has been fine. Set up single speed for a while at 38:16, deore front ring and a 16t DMR...

I vaguely remember them popping up around 2012 or 2013, friend had an mtb from them which from recollection had Deore group and Rockshox fork but much like this was letdown by low quality own brand frame/wheelset. Carbon fork or just painted black?
