@Blackthorne83 Have you an inside track or is this just supposition? He's not young and perhaps he is indeed an ar$e. Maybe he's a racist, maybe he isn't. I'm sure it will all come out. If you stick a national jersey on, there is an inevitable responsibility to think more carefully how you speak and behave. Don't get yourself into a position of risk to start with.
@MatzeLoCal Spot on. No request should be necessary. The testers, upon hearing the circumstances, should have 1. Paid respects 2. Rescheduled
Fantastic result, and a great write up, thank you
@matthewn5 I'm talking about carbon crank AXLES, not spiders. SRAM axles are aluminum (29 or 30mm versions) or steel (24/22mm GXP); Campag are steel (most models) or titanium (Super Record). Are there any other brands using carbon axles?
@ROOTminus1 Lake wide fit - CX239 would probably be ok for you. I wear the normal width and they are roomy, the wide ones accommodate lardy feet. And who wears road shoes with laces? That's just wrong, 2x boas or stay home.
@chrisonabike Any excuse to repeat my favourite quote from Bertie Wooster, when he took on Spode (Lord Sidcup) who had started a fascist movement called the Blackshorts: "The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?”
@mdavidford more cheap lists-icles.
Please spear us the jousting puns - it's just throwing down a gauntlet for some greaves abuse of the comments section, and there's no excuse for tilting things in that direction.
@eburtthebike some cyclists already wear black shorts, we really don't want the Blackshorts joining in...
@theslowcyclistxx Carbon wheels correctly built for their intended purpose can take a tremendous amount of punishment, as can be seen from downhill mountain biking where carbon wheels survive massive jumps, high speed crashing over rock gardens et cetera et cetera. If this wheelset is not designed for that that's fine but then it should not be falsely marketed as being as strong as XC MTB wheels when clearly it isn't.

JHC, that really was close,
JHC, that really was close, and that lorry driver needs educating, if necessary with a baseball bat. Have the owners responded? Perhaps trucks that big don’t belong on narrow city streets?
Glad to see Domino’s filling in potholes, should last longer than whatever they’re being filled with now.

I live near that road and cycle along it daily, ridiculously stupid place to try and overtake. he only has a few seconds between the traffic island he’s just passed and the pedestrian crossing ahead. It was never going work. If he knew the road, he’d know a few seconds ahead it widens with room for a cycle lane (albeit just paint). Driver should be off the road, that was as close to killing someone as you’d ever want to see.

Women not using a particular public place is a sure sign that this place is perceived as unsafe. To such an extend this can serve as a metric to determine where improvement is most needed.

Absolutely. In North Surrey, women are at least as numerous as men walking on the footways; but men far outnumber women cycling on the roads.
