Not acceptable. BMX is cheap but you want what you pay for.

Enve stems look tits when matched with everything else they do. Thomson road stems are gross, need a 4 bolt one with a decent shape.

« on: March 29, 2015, 08:10:08 AM »So badass, but, racing on Gatorskins? Those wheels deserve better tires.Of course the gatorskins will be swapped when the season really starts. There is so much debris on the road still I'm actually glad I had them on.
While I'm at it, anyone have any tire recommendations? I rode 23mm GP4000s last season and I really liked them, however I was thinking about some 24mm Specy turbo cottons or Vittoria Corsa somethings. I ride my Enve's training and racing so I'd like something to last at least 3k miles.
Challenge Criteriums are the best tires I've ever used. Pretty expensive but they're good enough to warrant me buying another set. Worlds apart from Conti tires.
I'm going to GP4000's when I've got some decent use out of the Lugano's that came on mine. Everyone seems to slate Lugano's but I haven't had any problems in the wet or even on icy roads.
Those Enve wheels are sick. What's the view on Mavic wheels? One of the blokes at work was saying that the hubs aren't really up to much.
Edit - missed the key 'aren't' bit out!
Mavic wheels are a bit meh. They work but they're not spectacular. The entry level ones won't be any better than your current wheels and if you're getting the more expensive ones then there are way better options out there.

My friend's Experia has been sent off for repair twice in the few months he's had it having just given up altogether. Let's not start a pissing match, you can have whatever phone you like, yours isn't better than mine because you have it (my phone sucks too, still works though.)

As with anything, good lighting and composition makes the most difference.

« on: March 23, 2015, 12:29:35 PM »Proper fucked it today, planned a route out on a map near my girlfriends not realising it was full of climbing and I hate climbing. Ended up being sick at the side of the road half way up this hill so went home. Searched it online when I got back and it was a 1km climb with an average gradient of 9.7% and maximum gradient of 21.8%.
Everything was wrong before I left - wasnt hydrated enough, rushed through different breakfast I've never had before, necked a big smoothie before I left, tyres were soft and I didn't have a pump...bad day. What's everyone eat before a ride? Is it worth getting a good breakfast in right before you go, or to eat then leave it at least 30 mins?
Getting food right is the most important part of pedalling the bike I think. A bowl of muesli and some scrambled eggs on toast with a coffee would do me for ~80 miles/4 hours. Eat a cereal bar or two on the way round because running out of energy sucks.

Marker pen and a decent round file. Easy peasy.

It'll just be a bit of a faff to get in and easier to pinch.

I like the idea of V-brake mounts. I could get a Paul brake and it would confuse the shit out of everyone.
