Is it not possible to use one of the third party battery packs for cell phones? I know that the cable for my Edge 500 is the same as for my room mates Blackberry.
You could just use something like this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Portable-Battery-Pack-Takes-Batteries/dp/B002PHC1XU
to charge it up?
That is indeed the medium...
Shame they didn't approach us at Shutt, that is exactly the sort of event we'd be interested in
Is that the medium you're wearing in the photo Dave? Over a shirt? Looks plenty big enough... I might just treat myself to one
The court is also know as Southwalk Crown Court, on Newington Causeway south of Borough Tube station.
Cases are normally open to the public I think.
I wish either company would give us the option of using AA batteries in a bike specific GPS - the internal rechargeable means it's far less useful for touring or longer audax rides. Pain really, I'm looking to get an Oregon but it'd nice to be able to ditch the bike computer and HRM at the same time.
Anybody know which court is handling this? Can the public attend?
RFEC are a joke and after this comment by it's chairman the UCI should be taking action.
This is getting to be like the slowest soap opera ever!
and so the story runs and runs. There seems to be so much stalling in this case.
the book contains a lot more than what is on the website and has been published in Rouleur.
Two very dimwitted cops if you ask me.
It's not an assumption. Nor anything to do with price.
It's an upgrade because ceramic bearings have lower friction and rolling resistance than steel bearings - a tiny, tiny performance gain, all other things being equal.
As we said, we won't be getting any because, as we pointed out quite a lot, they're hugely expensive.
I bet Rapha fans are getting more hot under the (pink trim) collar about these 'ripoffs' than the company themselves.
Get a grip, it's just a pair of armwarmers. If it makes you happy to buy Rapha, buy Rapha. But the world won't stop turning if you don't.
Just got a tights version and sent them straight back - the odd ball sizing hasn't improved from the previous models. I'm 5'11 and bought the XXL which fitted my 38 waist just fine, legs the right length but then - impossible to get the upper half on! The straps are ridiculously short, exactly as the 09 model. Given that wiggle's sizing says these will fit 6'4 I'm incredulous. I compared them to the equivalent Endura's - their straps are some 4 inches longer.
I think this sounds like a cracking event so we'll definitely be giving it all the support we can. A change of venue might not necessarily be a bad thing - the Brunel Passenger Shed is a bit cold and draughty – a smaller venue well filled will probably generate a much better atmosphere than a larger one half filled.
Shame to hear..........I've already got the date in my diary
thats my quote of the week that is..
Ah but I already save on GT85 and other assorted lubes… by forgetting to use them
As a pensioner on less than 140 quid a week I am glad I am a fixed wheel nut.
eye, but imagine the savings on not buying another can of GT85 you'd make eh! whole lifetimes worth i expect..
The whole self-lubing drivetrain option sounds pretty good to me… never really been my strong suit. Problem being that if the jockey wheels cost £220 how much would the whole thing cost? Crikey.
If they don't fit might be worth returning them to Wiggle, they do seem to have a pretty good returns policy, and either getting a refund or going up a size.

The pictures shown on the website already appear in the Rouleur annual - is it not a bit cheeky to now bind them up and flog it as something new?
