Plain old r540s are less than half the price, so it depends how much you think you'll benefit from omgcarbon and a bit of weight saving.
Seems like both my legs and various bits of my bike are absolutely broken. Really suffered again on a fairly sedate 50 miler after work. I'm going to take this weekend as a proper two days of rest (no walking for 10 miles carrying heavy stuff just because I'm not on the bike).
I felt I had to defend him as some of it stank of bitterness. One of the guys has a son that races and does quite well so obviously for some unknown to take KOMs he isn't amused. I believe he took a KOM off an ex TDF rider whilst in France but nobody questioned that.
My 105 5700 pedals look ****ed so would have been as well getting R540s.
They do have a wider platform to them though compared to R540
Amen! Well putStrava isn't worth getting in a tizz over, either way. It's not racing, sure, but it is something. You just have to take it for what it is, which is asynchronous racing in wildly varying weather, conditions, situations. It's not like this guy is one of the idiots warming up on rollers at the bottom of a hill as had been seen on occasion, so if he's just doing his thing and riding fast it's a bit pathetic to whinge about it.

I also weighed myself properly this morning and I am 5kg heavier than I was in January. ***** :/ As some of it is down to weight training it is not quite as bad as it sounds but still...not ideal. Taking it easy for two days and then geting serious again from Monday sounds like a plan.

So... After the awesomeness of my rear hydraulic caliper dying I picked up a new one this morning. Fitted it and attempt to bleed. For some reason it's refusing to get pressure in the hose. I've tried all sorts of faffing around, checked for leaks, etc...and it's still just refusing to work at all. Any ideas?
