Where does it say you can't stack discounts?

Also...

Question of the day... When is a disk worn? My fronts and rears have got a decent lip now after 5k all weather miles.. but there are no indicators or anything to tell me when it's time to replace?

They are so thin anyway that a noticeable lip would be enough to get me to change them.

Club ride, with the ride to the start and home again will top 50 miles on Sunday. Longest ride since August but hopefully the group aspect will make it go a little easier. Will also be the longest trip out for the winter machine unless I blow the cobwebs off the summer machine.

Get a caliper, or micrometer, due to the way they wear on there and measure the thickness. Shimano minimum thickness is around 1.5mm I think.

I've only ever saw wear that is two groves all the way around, my Formula rotors were like that after two weeks in France.

It is pretty funny when they try and get multiple discounts lol. One or the other, or the highest discount only.

Well it's pretty funny that he actually did stack the discounts and turns out got a better discount than you would yourself for working there.

No point arguing the toss over something that's actually been done.

Have a good weekend all! I'm tempted by this (if I don't head out on any of the group rides)... Cleaned the bike last night so ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! :D (cue muddy lane riding) :o

EDIT: https://roadcyclinguk.com/sportive/twelve-people-meet-every-group-ride.html - guess which I am! ;)

I'm going to go with the Mechanic. And quite possibly a chatterbox too. :)

Sounds horrendous but amazing all at the same time! I really want to cycle Morocco at some point, cycle mag articles always make it look incredible.

Finished the last day of cycling today and no more hitches apart from the first day. The cycling in Morocco is excellent in the interior with country roads where you can cycle for miles barely seeing a car. All the roads are newly resurfaced with a good mix of long climbs and fantastic descents and as there are barely any cars, you can take all the best lines into the corners using the whole road. Great fun.

I'm probably a bit of a mechanic, definitely a pothole spotter...

I've met my fair share of unreliable navigators who have no idea where they're going. I remember a group ride to watch a tour of Britain stage which was unquestionable due south of us, and our ride leader had us set off north for miles, then had us literally ride round in a circle at one point and back to a junction we'd already been through. I wouldn't have minded so much if it hadn't also been the wettest day I've yet ridden on!
