Do carbon bikes have a major flaw

[deptfordmarmoset]

I rode mine in the rain last week. The return journey was rather embarrassing as the crankset cut my shorts open and I have rubber burns up my back.

Is that what you told your wife when you got home?

I thought traffic lights were usually set to change after a certain time irrespective of the sensor.

Some do, some will prioritise a busy route, only changing when there is a need to change.

This is a set of lights on a road which goes under a railway not wide enough for 2 way traffic

As far as I know they can switch in various ways, from induction loop sensors, timed, and controlled from a central office (whether that happens very much outside London I'm not sure). Mostly I don't have a problem triggering them, I find the timing at some junctions more of a problem.

I have the same trouble with my Mclaren MP4-12C. Terrible it is.

Wish someone had told me about soluble carbon BEFORE I bought the new fishing rods
