    AND, if I had my way, as I did in my races in the early season, they HAD to finish the race…. 👿

    So a break of 10 or less with a minute or more at the half way point.

    Its the FIRST break at halfway aswell, So if there was a group of four 6 minutes up on the peleton, followed by a group of three with 3 minutes. It would be the group of four that score, not all seven :B

    UCI rule 1.3.031 paragraph
    UCI rule 1.3.031 paragraph 3:

    3. Each rider shall be responsible for:
    – ensuring that the helmet is approved in compliance with an official security standard and that the helmet can be identified as approved;
    – wearing the helmet in accordance with the security regulations in order to ensure full protection, including but not limited to a correct adjustment on the head as well as a correct adjustment of the chin strap;
    – avoiding any manipulation which could compromise the protective characteristics of the helmet and not wearing a helmet which has been undergone manipulation or an incident which might have compromised its protective characteristics;
    – using only an approved helmet that has not suffered any accident or shock;
    – using only a helmet that has not been altered or had any element added or removed in
    terms of design or form.

    BUT, The UCI State:

    Adding a removable cover is not allowed, but the visors are authorized if they are produced specifically for the helmet.

    Also, The helmet must be approved by the official security standards, must not have been modified and must not have suffered any shock or accident.

    So in theory it ‘might’ be ok, but if I was the official, I would say NO, because its an add on and is not sold with the helmet, although it is produced for the helmet….HMMMMM 😕 😕

    Don’t ask where I got them, because it was sheer fluke of google and it contained someone’s full details.

    So I have removed all person details and the bits in bold you will need to fill up.

    I have included a receipt document aswell

    If you need any help, just shout

    Well you need to work out
    Well you need to work out with your employer how much of a deposit they want, Cyclescheme take between 3 and 7% of the value of the bike.

    Then you have 36 months without anymore payments where you can use the bike, then either give it back and get your deposit or keep it and the company can keep the deposit….

    I’ll see if I can dig out a form for you or make a simple one up.

    There are slight differences
    There are slight differences between spoke brands, but most are the same, you get round, flat, aero….blah blah blah.

    But from what you have listed, they sound similar.

    I think its much and such building/pre built. Building yourself has the added bonus of picking the exact parts you want.

    So getting the spec of hub, decent rim and any spokes. Plus the added bonus of lacing them up yourself and knowing no-one has exactly the same as you :B

    Companies building them to different spec’s it looks like to me.

    They just mix and match hubs, spokes and rim’s. If you are really that bothered about what you are buying, it would be cheaper to get the hubs, rims and spokes separate, lace it up and take it to a LBS to tension 😉
