What size stem did you put on it? I am 5ft10" and have a 54 with a 100mm stem and it fits me perfectly.

Any big heads looking for a lid I've a virtually new s-works for sale. Lightest lid I've ever seen 215g or something silly.

Edge 800 is only £ 166.39 delivered from Amazon!

Had me worried there until I realised it was priced in pounds. Just upgraded to an 800 and got a recon unit plus a load of extras for 135, which with postage cost me around 180 euro

Currently riding a 120mm on it with 20mm of spacers, but I got a bike fit last week and I've ordered a 130mm Fizik stem. Will also be moving to 2 5mm spacers with a view to removing them one at a time to get to 0 space.

I've got pretty decent flexibility though so the position may be too aggressive for some.

I used that muc off pack from halfords this morning.

Excellent stuff altogether. Great for cleaning white bar tape.

Lube is great as well no sticky mess. All good.

Not sure if it's a bargain, but it might appeal to the more social/sportive rider

Whoever sanctioned that picture with the bars looking like that, should be sacked.

Right now.

Or have the bars inserted in them.

Or both.

Not sure if it's a misprice (or something else?) Wiggle(€41.03) or CRC (€7.99) - Elite Paron Bottle Cage (Weight 30g). Have 2 on the way from CRC for the new bike.

Decent price for decent wheels

Zondas for £225 using blank10 discount code

The waterproof socks look interesting.
The reviews are really good.
Other sites have these for more than twice the price.
Anyone using them ?

I suspect that the one on CRC is the composite/plastic model of the cage. The text says it is carbon fibre but the photo looks more like the composite one shown here.

It wouldn't be the first time that CRC put the wrong text against a picture - a few weeks back they were advertising a set of wheels whose picture was for one model but whose text was for a much better model of the same wheelset. Depending on whether you believed the picture or the text you'd either be getting an average set of wheels for an average price or a good set of wheels for a phenomenal price. I mailed them to ask which it was, they told me the text was wrong.

Interesting, it says their HRM strap included with the watch/monitor works with many other devices. Anyone tried to pair one with a Garmin or similar?
