Good job getting that sorted, it can be hard to admit to yourself so easily that there's a problem. I had something similar on my back between my shoulder blades a few years back. I caught it and it actually seeped some gunk and it wasn't until then that I admitted to myself it needed sorting. Less than 20 minutes at the GP's and he'd lopped it off and sent it away to be checked (had only gone in for it to be looked at!). Came back clear. But to think for several years I'd known about a lump there and thought not much of it, just kinda hurt it a few times (tight bib straps!) and just carried on. If you've got anything like that guys, get it sorted!
Good call, will give them a try when the need arises next, probably not until Sportives are back on... Wrapping stuff in foil rather than plastic I found helped some with the condensation squishyness.
You have, but then you're pushing out quite consistent high solid mileage regardless of the weather year round, it takes it's toll. My Disk comment was mostly tongue in cheek, but certainly something to consider in the next future bike idea/purchase. Worth getting some better wheels and other bits for the one you have, get it feeling 'good' and you'll want to ride it more. Fit some full guards or something you can't get on your main ride - some incentive for you to use it in the bad weather or for the dirty & long rides. You won't 'notice' much difference but in a few years time when you've had to buy less wheels you'll look back...
Which year did you not say this?
Picture broken here, but guessing it's the same one as from your Strava ride? Well nursed. Maybe you and @Lethal` can go halves on a set!Thought the wind would be the biggest danger this evening, how wrong was I. Managed to nurse it home 10 miles.
Yup, utterly stupid. Should be some way to flag 'stupid' rides like that from people. Flag the rides as 'dangerous' like you can with segments. Bugs me quite a bit when you've got rides obviously breaking the speed limits of local roads. They imposed a 20mph and put speed bumps into the road through my village middle of 2019 yet riders still compete over the segment there even now. The speed bumps have no lowered part for cyclists and are quite 'long', so those are either massive hops (at that speed) or skirting an edge 1-2" from a kerb to avoid them. Dangerous. I dare not even hit them at 20mph on 32mm wide tubeless tyres.
But that guy going up Na Ba is silly. Something happens then other people are put at risk going to rescue him. Nodder needs to go back to playing golf stroking his mates irons where he can't put others at risk.
Anyone bought a cassette recently, best place for deals on drivechain stuff? Merlin?
Anyone spotted any deals on bikes recently, autumn sale season is pretty much here. But then again we might not see one this year? Inventories are so low and supply still outstretched by lockdown demand?
