Squaring up against some rather tasty track specialists is exposing the fact that climbers legs don't necessarily make the best track engine and more importantly my lack of tactical nouse... I managed a few top ten placings last night and just missed out on points in a couple of races, so for my sec...

Re: Track bike
Dave, Is this another bike you have bought!! I saw you taking it out of the loft- is this where you hide everything you don't want me to see? Do other wives/ partners have the same problem? Anne Read my wife's Sunday Soapbox on the Sette page Dave... I've developed a myriad of deceitful ways to hid...

Hi Andrew, just what I was looking at. May be a little crazy at my age but looks like good fun. As the Dr Pepper ad said, "what's the worst that can happen". Besides which I've bought the bike now! Just going to negotiate with Derby re how much accreditation needed. Off down the gym to pump massive...

Same as Stuart, put me down for March but will stand aside for any newbies that want to try. I always try to encourage everyone to have a go at many different disciplines of the sport and you might just find an aspect that ticks your boxes. Racing anyone?

I used the services of Bourne's in Bissel st a year or so ago for another frame but its a pretty basic...

Beacon A run Kenilworth
Today's A run went without incident apart from the sudden torrential downpour timed perfectly to clobber us about a mile from the cafe stop. Cherry Tree Cafe in Kenilworth continues to provide excellent food at cheap prices (I haven't seen so many full english breakfasts on a club run before!) Anywa...

I have switched to RS81 c24&c35 on most of my bikes now... They are fantastic wheels. Light, durable, remain true and won't set you back a fortune. There is a minor and negligible weight penalty over the more expensive dura ace version but to be honest you are paying for prestige pricing and bling v...

front mech chain rub...gggrrrrr
One of my bikes has developed chain rub. I can't sort it out!!! It started after a recent change of wheelset which involved a move to 11sp set which required a slightly thicker spacer on the cassette (surely that alone can't be the cause) Anyhow...when in the 53 ring and in anything from 16t down to...
