None of them cycling-related - a missed opportunity...

“When we first proposed the idea of a bumper sticker as a means of data collection, it was considered rather unorthodox, but it has paid off with a massive repository of vital information. We, of course, would like to thank all of our volunteer respondents, whose passionate and consistent reporting made the whole 1-800-EAT-**** project possible.” Cattalone went to say that any peer reviewers seeking to challenge the survey’s methodology or criticize its findings can also call the number.

A lot of pedestrians in dark clothing along the unlit canal path this morning. Miraculously I hit none of them, but I reckon I'm still going to get on to Joe!

Good deal on the wheels !

Indeed considering the pedals were €80 and not needed at all, happy with the purchase and my current Mavic wheels are bombproof so hoping these are the same.

Had to go to LBS to get a chain fixed and ended up with Look Keo Movistar csrbon pedals as they match the TCR plus did a deal on Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon wheels for the racing season, a quick end to €880 that I didn't plan on spending, ah well..

Chain is fixed anyway so that's a relief!!!!

I can't sew, but might ask if any of the family are willing to try their hand at fatheadifying it.

That only works when you've got not enough elastic but plenty of cloth, the cloth is fully taught on mine.

You could add a bit to the band? The elastic would hide the join largely-You won't be able to see it if it doesn't anyway :P

As in buff the brand? They seem to max out at 62cm with lots of "one size"(biggest lie ever).

Not specifically their brand, but most I have used (actually all bar one) managed to fit my over sized noggin.

The Kask Mojito has great airflow which rocks for summer but its like being in a chiller during the winter so I really should get this sorted.

I was the opposite, I found it like wearing an oven during the summer and kept me warm during winter, different strokes for different folks.

Just put a weaker or longer elastic insert at the back. Open Up the seam, unpick the elastic and pop a bigger one in. Fiddly enough to do but but at all difficult. Pins are your friends.
Or bring it to an alterations shop and they'll do it for you.
I have a tiny pea head and I have to make all mine smaller :pac:

I seriously would have counted Watergste scandal in there first. But everything’s fake news these days so maybe Buff’s one size only really does beat it.

64cm head too and any brand of “whatever they’re called” buff type things work.

I've done that with a "Castro Cap" before but the problem is that just moved the pressure ring slightly higher. Think I'll use reversed woodworking clamps to try and stretch this yoke.

Anyone with a 64/65cm head got a recommendation for caps? Even handmade XLs that claimed to be up to 65 are like skull cap thats been through the drier one too many times.

I've seen the use of bicycles in many countries. It's amazing how much people can utilise them for transport if needed. Rwanda uses bicycle taxis which is impressive as it's very hilly and they're all single speed. Uganda has a repair shop at every major crossroads as they use bicycles as vans with 200kg+ loads. The bikes are all Chinese made and are pretty bomb proof.
