    Bike maintenance top tip.

    Before taking the headset apart trying to fix nasty noises from it, check if the quick release on the front wheel is tight enough.

    Just pulled the trigger on a Rose Pro SL 2000

    The wait for it to arrive is going to be agonising.

    Even Lidl did that with their last batch.

    (I find myself cycling to work along Turvey Avenue and wondering if I've put them on the correct feet).

    Hmm, often wondered who that guy was that kept checking his feet out on Turvey. Made me so nervous, I only go the Hearse Road now.

    Anyone know if PlanetX follow the typical bike release season? Really considering holding out a few months to get an RT-57.

    Allegedly unstealable bicycles

    though I can't see why thieves can't just reassemble them.

    Is it a rule or something with Tiernans CC that all members must cycle in full race gear and bike be kitted out to the nines (including wheels)? Spotted 2 different lads (one yesterday, one this morning) and could have sworn they were doing a short warmup for a race..

    Inter-club league is on Thursday nights. So the lad this morning was probably going to go racing straight after work.

    Our own club league is on Thursday's too, so I do a "posh commute" those days myself.

    I'm not Tiernan's but I commute on full race gear on Wednesday's as our league is on Wednesday nights. I get waaaay more respect/less shoaling from other cyclists in my Lycra/race gear than the usual dress and tights but more anger from traffic :rolleyes:

    ETA I don't commute on my track bike. I haven't the balls for that yet. Plus I don't think she'd like how slow we'd have to go to get there and back. It might break her little cycle-y heart altogether!

    Looks like I'll have to give up griping about not having a full time job ..and start griping about being in work all the time.

    Farewell impoverished freedom.

    With our wonderful tax system, experience tells me that it should be just farewell freedom, you will still feel just as impoverished.

    Nearly. Luckily I remembered in the nick of time that my wife will now be getting home before me.

    A revised online shopping strategy will be required.

    Parcel motel is your friend there. Keep the good (read:expensive) stuff hidden.

    Get it sent to work, then you can attach it as your "working late" and then your partner will never even notice when she comments and you say "I have always had disc wheels, how'd you miss that?"

    The key is to keep the expensive looking stuff hidden.

    That Garmin 510 or carbon fibre seat-post. They look pretty cheap ;)

    Hmm, that's suspiciously triathalon-y, Rollingscone. Is there something that you need to tell us...?
