    Perfect post to advertise
    Perfect post to advertise this. The past few years. I have done a “Transfers” thread. See here

    2013 http://road.cc/content/forum/67036-transfers-2013-world-and-pro-continental-tours

    I was going to start a 2015 on the 1st August, but I just don’t feel like doing it anymore. The attitude of many around here puts me right of being part of the community. I do the games scoring because it benefits the many and not the few. But I cannot be bothered putting in the effort of the transfers thread this season.

    So anyone who wants to take it on. I’ll give you a layout to make it easier for you…..

    I have Visconti in my purist team. Wasn’t put in as a filler because I had plenty of budget, I was banking on today, but I thought he might have done another one earlier in the tour

    So they are still riveting
    So they are still riveting carbon frames? I thought that was a long since gone method.

    I still wouldn’t do a DIY job on it as first choice. I would see what Scott will do for you regards warranty replacements.

    If that is a no go, then try the DIY or get someone to rivet it back on for you.

    On a carbon frame, it almost certainly means the frame is done, because it is not a typical “braze on” where it was brazed to a metal frame.

    Before brazing, they were riveted to the frame.

    I think on carbon, they are moulded into the frame during manufacture, hence it cannot just be typically repaired.

    If it can be taken off cleanly, you could get a carbon braze on adapter and be going again, but I don’t know if that would weaken the structure of the tube or not. You really need to get in contact with Scott directly, I wouldn’t be going through Evans as they had nothing to do with selling you the bike in the first place. They are just going to charge you to say it is or isn’t broken.

    I would be going back to the place you originally purchased it and demanding that they are responsible for your bike and any warranty issues, regards whether they deal in Scott or not.

    The local bike shop is the place to get a bike box….for free. No hassle as they normally just go to recycling anyway. If you can get 3, use one of extra strength around the bike.

    I use http://www.directcouriersolutions.co.uk they book it in with a number of courier companies, depending on where you live, all mine have been with TNT and it proves to be ALOT cheaper than going with TNT direct.

    Scores are done outside the game, so we have to wait for official standing to come out that we can use to score the race.

    The once that is done, upload them to the server and hit update….it is not us that take the time. It is the process of updating thousands of teams and leagues that takes the time.

    Always keep it in the box it comes with, that is what it is for. Different if you are using a saddle bag, but in a pannier, there isn’t so much of a space constraint
