I've been using the blue classic model for a while now and can feel a difference in my breathing. I use it in the morning and evening and it hardly takes any time. There's a book that goes with it called breathe stronger perform better (by Alison McConnall)and there's a whole range of exercises link...

Ridiculous. What about all of the cycling clothing companies that sell Roubaix jerseys and tights?? Can they expect to be sued too?

Just finished reading "Reg Harris: The rise and fall of Britain's greatest cyclist" by Robert Dineen. An interesting book about an interesting champion and a nice easy read. I'm not sure nowadays whether he is “Britain’s Greatest Cyclist” when you consider the achievements of Tommy Godwin, Tom Simps...

Paul, I gotta pick my new bike up on Thursday at 4 ish but could maybe meet up with you later if that's any good. Usually we finish at 3 on a Friday so could meet up at say 330 at Streetbike in the future.

Can't make Thursdays anymore Pat/Pat. Have you any thoughts about possibly moving to Friday evenings? No worries if not. Cheers, Kev

Just got back from the first Thursday ride and really enjoyed it. Great route and enjoyed the company, cheers to both Pat and Paul. We're going to keep it going Charlotte so you'd be welcome to join us (the more the merrier) and like Pat said earlier in this thread: "It was a fast as the slowest per...

Spoiler

Was that a Giro wining ride from Nibali today? Not sure that I can realistically see Wiggins clawing that back from him? He doesn't look comfortable and with the rumours of stomach bugs abound it makes you wonder whether or not this will be his year. Looking at the overall standings, it seems Sky st...

A lot of contenders - Contador, Valverde, Froome, Rodriguez (don't think he's in it Kevin?), Quintana etc. - sitting this out, presumably with Le Tour in mind. I think you're right about Rodriguez Richard. I got excited after the hinted he might contend the Giro following his solo stage 5 victory i...

2013 Giro d'Italia

So the Giro is upon us and who do we think is in with a shout of winning this year? Are there any other serious contenders outside of Wiggo, Nibali and Hesjedal? Is the time trial long enough for Wiggo to put some serious time into his rivals? Rodriguez looks to be in good form as does Scarponi (Is ...

Millar certainly wins the bike throwing contest but I bet he can't park it like Wiggo.

i agree it's a shame for Brad as I was hoping to see how his 'explosive climbing training was working and was looking forward to a Nibali/ Wiggins showdown. One of the main qualities/ attarctions of bikes is there is simplicity. When you start adding electronics to it I feel the point is lost and co...

Just read an excellent book called: Paris-Roubaix, The Inside Story: All the Bumps of Cycling's Cobbled Classic by Les Woodland . It's a must for any fan of Paris Roubaix. Below is a link for the trailer of the book

Thanks for that. I think I'm going to get one and fit it as a precautionary measure as they are fairly cheap and look like they could save any potential chain slip.

Deda Dog Fang

Has anyone used a Deda Dog Fang on their bikes? It's a small plastic accessory which attaches to your bicycle to prevent your chain falling off the inside of your smallest chainring. My bike seems to be set up and properly adjusted but occasionally the chain slips off so just wondered if they"re wor...
