quick question. If i was to buy these pedals http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-ultegra-spd-sl-6800-clipless-road-pedals/rp-prod106702 what cleats / shoes would fit? I'm completely new to this whole clipless pedal malarky.
Thanks![]()
I really do need to get round to trying Zwift. ArmoVanBuuren, is it possible to add friends and race them? Could be fun to have a (admittedly small) OcUK meet online![]()
Great review of Zwift Armo and really glad to hear your back is getting along so well! Keep it up! I should be in there soon...
I'm up for that, pretty sure you can 'friends' on there, how about clubs? A virtual cycling club! We all know that once it's out of Beta and they start charging for it there will be a lot more rides to do!![]()
Pinch flat from fitting or something else?
Must be your luck, or your power output stretching the rubbers physical properties to the extent it leaks air!![]()
hard to say! was fine for the whole night, then the whole day commuting to and from work, and then flat in the morning? no idea! could be a pinch flat due to how hard it was to fit them! hopefully they've stretched a bit now and I'll install a new tube when I get home.
had to ride on my triban 3!ah well, full mudguards were nice
OK, so I logged into the Ride London site and my entry isn't listed as cancelled.
Might be too early to say but I think I'm in.
Congrats if you are!
I think I entered the ballot, how did you log in?
So I had a go at my bar tape and cables tonight.
Turns out the Jagwire Sealed kit doesn't fit my bike, where the cables are routed around the BB the sealed line is too large to fit in the plastic clip... Ofc I had to cut the old cable to remove it as it was too rough to pull back through the shifter.
Luckily I had the older outers, so I just used the new inner cables and put the rest back in the box, could have bought 3 inner cable kits for the price of this one!

Sealed line on the left, much bigger than the cable on its own.

All done!
Link doesn't seem to be working and I've read that the ballot isn't actually until 6/02?
Tidy job on the bar tape! With the BB plastic thingy, can you get replacements for those? You might find some with cable routing dimensions which would be compatible with the Jagwire kit? Might mean reindexing gears afterwards though?
I'm semi-interested as my mrs' bike has rubbed a couple of gear cables there (and looks very tatty) so I might replace it on hers (and learn the hard way how to re-index a cheap Apollo bike)
Guys the Garmin 'in-front' adaptors, do they make monitoring cadence etc much easier? Bear in mind I've only recently changed from nothing to stem-mounted Garmin so finding it hard looking away from the road!![]()
They start sending the emails on Monday apparently.
The same thing happened last year, they denied the cancellations meant that you had failed to gain entry and said the ballot hadn't take place yet. It was lies though and they are saying the same this year.
The out front mount makes it a bit easier to read and makes the bike look neater IMO. I don't spend much time looking at it as you get a feel for the right cadence and power your legs are pushing after a while.
