Missed this thread! I got my new Spesh Roubaix last week and took for a whizz on Sunday. It's quite nice! Replaced the stock wheels as they weighed a ton. Don't think it's a rubbish bike despite what that shop said. :P http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8510/8529252186_b98d30088c_b.jpg theres one thing ...

HAZBRO

bloody hell do you lot get a new bike every year because i thought the country was in the mist of a recession crisis!

HAZBRO

When is it?

How about a club run to jenkin road then, theirs only one way to find out if he has got his calculation wrong

How about Dave Brailsford he should do a good job!

F1 brakes only really work when they glow red hot Portable Bunsen burners 'pinarello style' should be fitted onto the frame with a gas supply under the seat, just like the gear wiring internal tubing can be used to transport the gas, well they do have to be red hot to work properly, well here's you...

...but if someone's got thousands of pounds of spare cash they might just do it anyway :wink: I'm not sure what country your living in because i never knew their was such a person, this is Great Britain we are talking about, populated by snobs in this time of recession,and the home of beggars and t...

HAZBRO

I would of thought a carbon disc along with some altherations and optimizations with the frame can actually mean a lighter bike, but at the end of the day, its only grams we are talking about, so if someones got thousands of grams round their waist then its pointless in terms of weight saving

HAZBRO

All that work that shimano did getting the perfect gear set and brake movements with their di2 set, now they must set to work on electric disc brakes in order to fight of any competition, what will the pros opt for, as disc brakes can be way lighter than calipers brakes etc

HAZBRO

This makes the pinarello dogma 2 look like a toys r us budget bike!

HAZBRO

HAZBRO

Ok Ive just read quite a chunk of the black book, I understand the training sessions and everything, but what i dont understand is he doesnt aggree with club runs also if you dont have a heart rate monitor and turbo trianer, you will never be a good cyclist i dont have none of them things how can i ...

HAZBRO

Also are you more likely to become a successful cyclist with coaching or without and did Bradley Wiggins have coaching in his teens?

HAZBRO

[/quote] increasing the intensity and reducing the duration whilst increasing the frequency

So from jan, just do lots of little but intense rides and increase the distance slowly

HAZBRO

I bet coaching expensive though en it ! And how do you peak in a cerrtain month when excercising?

HAZBRO

There was a period in my early twenties where I rode at at a high intensity 4 or five times a week whilst also commuting 10 miles a day. I certainly got fit but pretty soon developed a very painful knee problem the effects of which I still contend with today 20 years later. I'd advocate a gradual b...

HAZBRO

At the mo i'm resting my knee so I can get it ready for the club run, hopefully i will be doing a load of time trials next year also I want to get my endurance level up and get racing in the coming years just need the best methods possible. So far I've just been getting the miles in my legs. After I...

HAZBRO

I managed to spin for an hour at my gym on a training bike and got 16.1 miles done and almost passed out in the changing rooms straight after! If I do it frequently like 3 times a week will I improve my cycling, or will I injure myself because two days after I went out on my bike and did my knee in ...

Im currently finding it hard to get a jersey that fits me im 16 and the smallest mens jersey is like a bin bag on me!

HAZBRO

Ive just looked at these

I should be like 200th or last thats wrong i was on a mountain bike with the breaks half on dying, how do they come up with these results??!!

HAZBRO

Everythings sorted now there is only a tiny bit of play on the back wheel now
so its fine

HAZBRO

Alright ive sorted it 'sort of' i go to the gym on it but im not sure about taking up to cannock for trail run doesnt seem all that safe

HAZBRO

Its not looking good back wheel now moves from left to right

HAZBRO

How much does it cost to rebleed the brakes?

HAZBRO

THE BRAKES WERE HALF ON FOR THE WHOLE OF THE RACE NO WONDER I WAS AT THE BACK ,40 MINS OF THAT

i thought it was a bit tough to pedal through a basic field!

that highlights how imortant bike checks are

HAZBRO

Cheers I'll take a good look at it hopefully its nothing serious

HAZBRO

After the cyclo cross event on sunday my Bike took a bit of a bashing, the wheels picked up mud like tractor wheels do, but as soon as i got it home I put it upside down a simply tried to turn the wheel but it just won't move freely, i think its the Hydraulic breaks, but i try not to tamper with the...

HAZBRO

yeah john youll win it again you've just got to keep yourself fit like Ryan giggs, 40 yr old footballing legend stilling playing for man utd

HAZBRO

I look extremely calm and next year im taking my helmet off when i do it, and is it me or do my tyres look slightly flat compared to the other bikes?
BAD PREPARATION no wonder i restarted!

HAZBRO

HAZBRO

Steve i have the software to reduce something but without killing any pixels off in the process, ill reduce the current logo if you wanted to use in documents, such as membership forms, or ill post this with a white back drop and ill purposly create a smaller version so you dont have to worry about ...

HAZBRO

THERE NOT SMUDGES its shadow, also its actually gold if i lower the luminance also i didnt want to change the design because you need permission and that would mean changing the logo itself, its like changing the Disney font to times new roman, nobody would no who they were, and yes i will modify ev...

HAZBRO
