    100 PSI in 25mms is way too

    100 PSI in 25mms is way too high anyway.

     

    60 and 80 is more like it – but headache ? Are you drinking enough ?  

     

    My old Giant TCR was awesome for soaking up road vibration – you could ride over a drain and not feel it.  I’m sure you could pick up an old carbon TCR for pennies.

    Never trust their insurance

    Never trust their insurance company.

    I’d speak to someone like Bikeline to see if they can do anything for you now  – but you should have done this straight away ideally.

    Trust me they will take higher pressures. I’m a lot heavier than 64kg and have managed to compress a race tyre to the rim hitting a bump. Also my road bike is not my everyday, it’s a weekend and sportive special. 140psi is an absolute maximum on dry, smooth roads – as you can guess you don’t find them in UK. UK roads max 130psi for 23C, 100-110psi for 25C.

     

    Sorry just found this – you might want to check that your rims are rated for 140 PSI. Thats a huge pressure.

    Far more likely to be yobs in Hot Hatches than runners.  I’ve yet to see a runner lob an empty lucozade – not many drink it  – but teens at the gym clutch it after doing their Set of 3 mins on thr treadmill….

    It’s a very different position really.
    When we were young and tri bars came out we would just slap them on and be fine. I suspect age makes that a bit harder. If you’re suffering after just 10 mins you need a bike fit.
    My mate had tri bars so comfy that he’d catch himself nodding off.

    What time was this ? Maybe they were caught out by conditions.

     

    Peeing down today and I’ve passed a rider clad all in black with no lights front or back.  Its a miserable day out there. Why you’d ride like this is beyond me.  Maybe they’ve never been in a car in the rain, or maybe they just aren’t thinking.

    Out running today I began to look out for the grids by me. Quite a few are there with the slats running parallel to the road. Never noticed before whilst cycling but I’d not be riding that close to the kerb.

    I’m sure they should be done differently but also we should be looking where we are going.

    That said a local driver managed to claim (and complain) when he’d driven into a newly modified sticky out pavement. Personally I think he should have been charged with careless driving.

    isnt that what aluminium does though ? It’s not a problem for the frame ? I’d not worry.
