I see the pic you posted on facebook with your bib shorts on...Can i just add i don`t like the way you were touching yourself in the pic, you seemed to be enjoying yourself a bit to much..

Agreed

 

[Louch]

Wasn't touching anything, just using the black of the top to contrast...at least you can't see the camel toe the adidas shorts give me with there multi piece padding

three 20 mile rides over last 3 nights. loving this little stretch of sun. if the wind would bugger off itd be bliss!

 

[MikeW-71]

Yeah, getting a bit fed up of this wind now. Still I'm off on 4 days hols now and we're only going to the Centerparcs at Penrith 25 miles away.

So I'm cycling there and back on the MTB

Got destroyed from the wind today all they way from the top of Dunning hill, Along Dunning glen and all the way home to Alloa, didn't help that i had done 2 CAT 3 climbs, my legs were screaming at my by the point i was heading for home................Saying that it was great fun cycling from Braco to Dunning with the wind on my back, it was fun until i heard ping from my rear wheel

Got my bike back tonight, new cassette to go along with my new chain, just needing new tyres and it will be like a new bike lol

 

[Louch]

Won't be like, it will be a new bike! how you have chewed through tyres since August baffles me, thought you where on hybrid over winter? I'd be investing in a track pump to check your pressures correct

Tyres have done 1,209.99 miles since August, front one is fine, back one has a slight hole in it, other than that its fine also Wanting new ones for puncture protection more than anything. I have a track pump and it gets used once a fortnight atleast.

Used the triban over January and most of February until the chain snapped

 

[Telemark]

Tyres should do way more than 1,200 miles, but fewer punctures is an excellent reason! Your fellow CC Ecossers will appreciate it, no doubt.

I reckon they will but the last back puncture caused a small hole in the tyre

Pfft, a small hole, young people today don't even know they're born. Stick a folded up fiver inside the tyre over the hole, job done.

Once ended up with a 2 inch screw driven through the tyre, inner tube and partway through the rim while bombing down the East Kilbride to Blantyre road.
That was an exciting bit of braking!
I got into trouble because I refused to apologise to my boss for being late, instead opting to hold up the wheel with the screw firmly embedded.

Oh, sorry, we're not playing Puncture Fairy Top Trumps?

My commuting tyres have more holes than Swiss cheese, 5000 miles so far, hope I can get another few thousand or so miles out of them, like Ed I've had all sorts (50mm nails, glass,ect) once the ube is fixed all is good.

Ah ok, still doesn't feel like a lotta miles, I'm 2200 on the boardmans originals and both in good nick. Back got 200 miles less after a short lived affair with a gator skin, but given I weigh a ton it's not had much respite since back on.

What tyres you going for?

No idea tbh, cheap as possible with good rolling and puncture protection
