Gaffa tape – two layers at
Gaffa tape – two layers at right angles – also works for those. Put it on the back though.
Wash your hands frequently.
Wash your hands frequently. Most colds are spread by contact, not through air.
Remember that year when everyone thought they were going to die of bird ‘flu? There were gel handwashes everywhere and people used them. Far fewer people got influenza that year.
Nothing wrong with Zondas.
Nothing wrong with Zondas. The blowout wasn’t the wheel’s fault.
Funnily, ditto. 😀I am absolutely pathetic at lining up a front mech – it drives me mad trying to get it straight. So much that I’m hoping the next frameset I get has a braze on so I won’t have to go through at least a couple of hours of peering through one eye, then the other, from about twenty different sodding angles. Then, after indexing, realising I haven’t got the height right. Or the chain was in the wrong sprocket, and having to start over again…
Get one of these:

Also works for Shimano/Sram.
Sets the space above chainring, and the alignment. Worth its weight in gold!!
please explain more.
Update, feel foolish. Figured it out, Park say to use a “penny”
The Campag tool is a plastic spacer with alignment marks. It slots over the large ring on the crank, and is thick enough to set the 2mm spacing between crank teeth and derailleur outer plate. It has lines on it so you can align the outer plate and the crank. Then all you need to do is tighten up the bolt securing it to the seat tube or braze on.

If it’s a new cable you have
If it’s a new cable you have to pre-stretch it – put it all together too ‘close’, give the lever a strong pull – unless you have external cables which you can pull at right angles – and then relax the bolt and refit. The cable should never be ‘slack’.
Have you checked the limit bolts?
Aren’t all Campag 9-speeds
Aren’t all Campag 9-speeds compatible after they introduced the ’rounded’ ergo levers in about 2000?

Have you tried wiping with vinegar on a tissue? Something I do occasionally if the braking has gone off on my Campag/Fulcrum wheels.

Yeah when I got a black Canyon a few years ago I busied myself putting black scotchbrite strips all over it. Way to go, it’s invisible in the daytime. Eventually I took a bit off because it didn’t look very good, hairdryer got it off without problems.

Yes I thought it might be something to stop iPeds stepping out in front of a bike, because they’ll see that wiggling around before the bike is upon them.
Yep, the 3M reflective tape on Ebay is your best bet. The hexagoney stuff, for preference – if it’s good enough for the backs of ambulances…Agreed!

The Overground is good – bikes seem fine much of the time.

Good carbon isn’t dull. You won’t get it in a £1500 bike though, not even in a £1500 frame.
Personally I’m happy to ride any bike if it is has lively steering and feels stiff through the bottom bracket. That makes for antidull.

You’ll have to do a bit of measuring but this worked perfectly for me and a friend:
