Is there any reason why the sites haven’t been rolled back to when they all worked? I still have major issues logging in and lots of the threads are all over the place with comments missing, etc. Is there a target date for fixing things because I am getting tempted to cancel the sub and renew it when the sites are fit for purpose?

Some great options and thoughts there, many thanks all.

Perhaps start with what kind of cycling you do and what it is about your current wheels that you want to improve? Also, what kind of budget…

Wheelsmith has always been very good for me. Malcolm was always very opinionated so I got bored with him telling me I should be riding tubeless, etc., when I simply wanted what I wanted.

Just to close this one off, I ended up having to return the unit, at my expense I should add. The customer service team quickly agreed that it was knackered and that water ingress was the most likely scenario (no surprise to me, the MicroSD card had beads of water on it when it was removed prior to sending back and pressing any buttons caused a dribble of water out). I had the option of a refund or I could wait whilst the unit went back to China for an investigation…so I chose the refund and got the money in my account within an hour (albeit without the additional postage covered).Back to the drawing board for me.
Well I’m afraid it’s not
Well I’m afraid it’s not going well. I used the camera yesterday on roads that were predominantly dry but with the odd wet stretch. The weather itself was dry, sunny but chilly first. The camera, which was fully charged, lasted less than an hour and then died. Is still dead and does not charge. It looks like a bad water ingress issue, despite it not raining at any point, so just road splash.
I shall be testing the customer service aspect now…

Ok, camera arrived and my first impressions are quite positive. Looks to be a good step forward from the CR1.
Interestingly, Amazon lists exactly the same product made by SUNGOOYUE, so this looks like a rebadge job…prices are similar though.Setup was fairly easy, the recommended app (Viidure) works well. Weight is about 100g, power connection via USB-C and it secures using a ‘Garmin’ 1/4 turn lock. I have tried it a few times and the footage is fine, it’s a bit bumpy (no smoothing like the Cycliq although that’s 3 times the price). It certainly captures the basics and the pulse light works really well. In use, it gives about 6 hours with pulse BUT make sure you disable wifi after startup. I would have thought the default was the other way around but there you go. Leaving wifi on the duration drops by about an hour so it’s still fine for most rides I do. There is also a warning when low so the light can then be switched off.
Looks to be a good vfm option, only 1 week in though…

I don’t know TBH, but I would investigate by firstly identifying the cable. If it is the rear gear and looks/acts like an inline adjuster, drop down the block (moving into the 11 cog) and give the adjuster a few tweaks. Move back up and see how the shifting has changed. Then, repeat/optimise shifting as required.
TBH, most people I know don’t use inlines for the rear as there is usually an adjuster on the RD itself. An inline is invaluable for the FD though, and yet I always seem to have to fit them on new bikes.
The police down here in Devon
The police down here in Devon just keep it simple, no updates whatsoever about submitted footage. It does leave me wondering if I should bother or whether there is something simple I could do to improve, so I just report the bad ones.
Yepp, another vote for Argos,
Yepp, another vote for Argos, fantastic quality and realistic with their leadtimes. The only downside is the number of lovely bikes they have at the place and on the website…could end up being an expensive respray 😉
Same goes with car headlights
Same goes with car headlights for those of us road riders.

Close vote then, one senses that environmentally friendly travel just means getting an EV and not changing any other aspect of usage, like introducing some active element…
Best way to watch the
Best way to watch the highlights is to pause when ad break comes, use the time tracker to move forward 4-5 mins and then press play. Works perfectly and lets me skip through the sprint stages without missing the last 5k and any earlier drama.
I’ve never heard of that
I’ve never heard of that happening and have used several carbon seatposts over the years (whether supplied or post-market). I have ridden with someone who’s seatpost broke almost halfway into a 60 mile ride, he stayed upright but didn’t have a lot of fun on the way home.
