Believe it or not, my wife actually rubbed some volterol into the girls knee. If I'd started rubbing the girls knee with her good self watching, things could have gone very badly indeed...

Yeah I could do with help getting out too. These research degrees are rubbish for the auld sociability/ego
Failing all else, you can always declare a Boards spin. PlanetX organised one earlier in the year which was good gas, albeit he also managed to organise a minor hurricane over the Military road to go with it

Fancy a handy spin at any stage? Phoenix Park -> Howth and back or any other suggestions?0 -

when a tyre does this - stick in the shed as a possible spare, or bin? it's the two rubber components splitting from each other, but the mesh underneath is OK. i'm pinching the tyre to exaggerate the gap in the photo, and this is easily the worst section.

Anyone take the road form Nangor road to N4 that passes Baldonnell air base?
What's with the signs on Baldonnell House which are highly negative towards the military?
My last trip past there during the week there was a masked man standing on the edge of the Baldonnel house wall banging a drum......
same noticed it while back and the scary masked man too, assume its ongoing feud with baldonnell house owners/ant military against the government0 -

Oh well cadence cadence cadence.
jaysus, what cadence do you spin along at ? I run 42x16 and rarely cruise at over 30Km....:( damn my big heavy legs (i'm sure it has nothing to do with the mass wobbling about above them

Well if he managed to get up to 40 km/h it would be around 130rpm. You would be going at a more sedate 87rpm or so at 30 km/h though ....
Even worse, on 26" wheels he'd need to be doing about 152 rpm. Which I'd guess is why he's lost the ability to go 40 kph since going back to his MTB 0 -

Well I never said I could sustain it for very long
But for a kilometre I can. The wifenbike is a rocket. I was spinning like a lunatic on my 6k beater test run last night and never quite hit 36kph although my fastest km was 32kph.0 -

I prefer to describe it as sustainable
I need to work on my pedalling technique. When ever I try maintaining a cadence over 100rpm I start bouncing on the saddle.0 -

I had that problem for a while too, made a thread about it - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=81833680
I never have trouble with it anymore, at least not on my road bike. Can spin pretty comfortably at over 100 rpm now, but it did require practice.0 -

The stronger your core the less likely you are to bounce, if your saddle is too high you are more likely to bounce. Maybe try to pedal round instead of just up and down if that makes sense? It happened to me when I started track. Time spent at high cadences helped me the most. Spin spin spin!0 -

Not sure if this will be of any use to anyone but if you have ANY version of Shimano Di2 or you know someone who does, don't have the firmware that came out in August applied, ever.
It prevents, rightly or wrongly, mixing parts from the various systems. I believe they are called "mash ups"
I did a lot of learning today!
Also came across this which was kind of cool and I had patented in my head :mad:
Auto gearing is just around the corner. Set desired cadence and off you go...0 -
