New bikes often have untrue wheels. They sit in a container for several weeks in docks, on boats etc and have to endure huge temperature changes during their journey here. First pair of wheels I ever built were a forced rush job for a customer. I used a book for instruction as nobody else in the com...

That will be great George because I do need are recorder at the 10 and well you are by far the best placed and proficient to do the Lmtt pics. So I've got you down for those two tasks then. I'll let John Know as well.

Nice one Phil

We are a bit short of timekeepers.

It's easy enough to do and quite good fun so come on guys.

In particular the 9 mile events are usually very popular and if more than 20 people turn up its not possible to run the event without 2 timekeepers.

Patch

I've just asked if Ian Dalziel wants to come he's getting back to me tomorrow

Patch

My feelings exactly George how ace would that be.

Patch

So the first of the 5 mile events in July will be the Retro event. Bikes to qualify must be round tubes no rims deeper than 30mm no tri bars. It would be nice though if the bikes were actually retro so I'm thinking along the lines of an extra handicap for bikes pre modern age. By this I mean pre ahe...

Patch

Great idea George

Patch

Cool thanks Andy

Patch

So Simon the 18th of April date was an error. The date for that event is actually the 11th of April. Can you still do this one?

Patch

Well spotted Rich. Yes its the calendar on the main website that is wrong. Ill sort it. the dates on the message board are the right ones.

Patch

Nice one Simon I'll put you down for the two you can definitely do then.

If your using auto on the turbo then the garmin won't be able to work it out because your not moving. So it should be on manual for turbo use. I have mine on manual all the time it doesn't affect GPs performance.

Patch

I've paid my deposit to the club online.

Patch

Hi Jane it's just me and Keri. Scott and Sharon can't make it.

I'll be sticking with my not so sticky 7800 group then still brilliant and no stupid fancy cables.

Patch

I have to report that apart from yours Barry I've seen two other bikes with the same issue. One at work with 6800 Ultegra and one at a race 9000 Dura Ace both broken same place. I doubt if many bike shops will have the new shimano cables that's why they weren't used. I've not seen anything from shim...

Patch

A very satisfactory conclusion to the Handicap competition. It's a draw with both of the leaders opting to not ride the hill climb and share the honours. It's been an extreamly tight competition all year and I'd like to thank everybody who competed for making it a very enjoyable season.

Patch

Thanks all for coming out it was a lovely morning. Well done Richard really impressive.

Patch

Yep that's the one

Yes normal thread Barry, these aren't usually that tight. So in the position of this picture undo anti clockwise.

That's quite a remarkable escape phew.....glad your ok.

Road works forced us to shorten the Handicap 20 tonight to 18 miles. Great weather though good turnout and the fish and chips were great. I'll leave it with Simon to sort out the Handicap 20 result.

It's fine I was planning on doing the time keeping. Thanks Martin nice update.

Very cool

Simon Dighton is our new 50 mile TT champion. He rode a 2:02:41 today in the Shirley open. Well done matey.

Patch

Completely Nic completely.

Patch

Actually if you get stuck Barry I'm free and at home Saturday morning.

Patch

Not specific. Stainless is better than cheap. It's a little fiddly to get the cable up from the hole in the bottom and in to the outer cable but that's what you have to do. Lube the cable outer under the bar tape by spraying GT85 up it. Bit of spray where the cable runs around the top of the lever. ...

Patch

Tubs and tubelessare not to be confused. By tubeless we mean clinchers running without inner tubes. Alan is spot on. Nearly all good mtbs will be running tubeless now. Less weight no pinch flats and the sealant in the tyre deals with small **flat**s. Downside is you need specific rims and tyres real...

Patch

Due to roadworks on the original course K34/10 we have moved the event to the K34/10D down the road. This is the course that starts near the Dunnington crossroads.

Patch

Cancelled although a few hardy souls did turn up well done you guys.

Patch

I'm so sorry Anikka not sure how I got that wrong

Patch

It was a bit miserable but a good turnout. Exellent timing as usual from Paul and Helen. Nice to get split times and we were a lot less pressured this week. Ride of the week I think goes to Amarjit real progression going on there.
