I like Vredstein Fortezza Tri-comps too. Low rolling resistance and gummy compound offers great grip. No punctures in 500 miles but my rear tyre has sveral deep cuts - at least the puncture protection seems to be working. I have mine inflated to 145psi - which is what Vredstein recommnds, but may be less prone to getting cut up if they were inflated less.
hardcourt is the jam.
"9 (grasscourt) teams contesting the euro champs?" REALLY?
come play hardcourt. the battle to be one of the 48 teams at worlds is currently happening at qualifier tournaments worldwide.
leagueofbikepolo.com
also, very very few people play hardcourt competitively with fixed gears so that's no longer a vlaid association. (but watch out for X2)
not that sketchy by city riding standards but still poor form for a cop
@ gerald(soldier1980) what about pagan cyclists? we need to repent too?
the real winner of this debacle is the horrendous title.
in a few weeks, I expect to read about
Shleck Sloppily Shlecks chain off, Suddenly Shlecking his Stage Superiority; Surly Saxo Sues Shimano
Well its Norway or Belgium for me and they aint both in the sprinters class
Hhhmm.
I reckon you picked
Swift for stage 3
Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil, Ciolek, Hushovd & EBH, Voeckler & Bonnet and Navardauskas
You'll need to change em now
Not for me there aint, stage 3 will be a brit to win, stage 1 will be from spain, belgium, norway, france or lithuania. if you manage to fathom out the potential winners in my team from those clues

how can two people win it? Are you predicting a dead heat on stage 1? That's a brave pick!
I like it. So much so that I've already been on ebay looking for a cheap chinese knock off version.
Simon, from now on I'd like to be referred to as 'dino S'... my friends, co-workers will be intrigued... 'is that Dino? He seems different now...hmm
BMC management is on crack... Sven who? Right. Maybe I could be a walk-on to the staff at the next tour stop... sounds like just anyone can get baguettes for the team.
Dont fancy either of them because its a slightly uphill sprint, there is only 2 people who are going to win it
Yeah Cav's pics

And the error bars in the kms cycled are? Because that makes a difference. But we'll probably only know what the difference is in another 5 years when we have more data.
Yes things are better than 20 years ago. But we aren't cycling as much. Which is a shame.
inner tubes now
all set for tomorrow...
Just bought a pair of Easton EC90 SL forks on ebay. Completely unnecessary for my riding/bike but they seemed cheap and will look cool...
Rob
Cav was having a good laugh, snapped himself in one of those cages on wheels and had a sword fight with boonen
It was a good laugh, did you see Contador getting interviewed
Anyone that didn't see it, this was Garmin coming from underneath the stage http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/261875_215344351834669_10...
Have lots of invites but I hear Google has temporarily stopped sending them out.
PM me your email ID and I'll see if Google is let me send you one.
Omg Thor Hushovd was dressed in a wig and carrying a hammer. And the whole Garmin-Cervelo team bowed down to him. Priceless.
bike: pair of conti grand prixs
not bike: greggs pasty
but those seat stays are... straight..? Where's the vertical compliance going to come from?
Aberdeen, eh? My birthplace. Left when I was 6 mind (didn't have much choice in it, obviously).
Had been wondering where outside London you could have been that had such a terrible housing situation due to costs/ long commutes, but it's all crystal clear now
A bit like that here Iain, there was planning in for 250 new houses, now bear in mind this is a village full of people who commute to Aberdeen or are retired, the locals dont get a look in, so they were going to build a "percentage" of affordable housing, which turned out for be 16 houses
I cycle a round trip of 50 miles, largely because I refuse to pay peak fares for travel on a half full (at best) train at 0535 You need to win the lottery to own a house in the Se these days, they claim to build affordable homes but they're not unless you've umpteen grand lying around...
Tame by any standard. Can hear his cranks creaking as he slowly grinds along the road... I was expecting to hear brake squeal and shouting; this looks more like he only realised how it looked when he viewed the video. Which, as others have said, is appalling quality - should have bought a cheap one from eBay; mine was £20 and quality is great.
