Road Cycling

Sounds ideal for what you wanted & hope you enjoy!

Guess it might even fit into the passenger footwell in a pinch if you needed the whole of the rear for something!?

Yeah, it allows me to test the waters without any big financial outlay. road.cc really rated the Sora version of this vintage when they tested it (4.5/5 IIRC) and I can see why.

Space wise... If I know I need the space I'll leave it at home but if I get caught out (e.g. I visit a customer and they have kit that needs to come back) I can put it on the back seat to free up the whole boot. Joys of a company car I won't lose any sleep marking the upholstery! Unfortunately it is too big to fit in the footwell.

I'm on the road again next week so hopefully I'll get a ride that isn't mid heatwave so I can go a bit further.

2.5 hours in today, a little later start to allow the roads to dry out after the storm in the early hours. 5 minutes before I get home and someone driving the other way hurls abuse out of their window at me. I submit footage to Essex police with a a decent statement that I spent some time writing (including specifically their offences) but it was all for nothing, no further action. I decided to write to my MP about it as I previously complained to Extra Eyes and was told there is no appeal process but they were reviewing why there were so many "no further action" submissions so clearly no improvement has been made.

Got those go faster fish scales @bastic

Literally had no time to test them out...went for 10min spin...tried few bunny hops, down few kerbs and they are still round lol
At the airport now ready for Girona trip .
That will be a test for them .
Wonder if I will notice that 500g saving on weight and if they are stiffer . I wish they will be lol

Following on form a post a couple of months back, where I had a bike fitter come round and alter my three bikes. I still haven’t got round to getting the spacer and shorter crank length for my road bike yet. I’ve been diagnosed with having a slight FAI on my hip joint so I’m now prioritising getting this bike sorted.

Couple of q’s if anyone can help. Has anyone gone up to a 54t chainring? Also anyone bought from Ali express? They have a 170mm 54t dura ace crank for only $460. Cheapest I can get it here is $600. The 52 is even cheaper. Are they legit?
