12 chainring inflicted puncture wounds to the back of my right leg, 8 of which needed stitches. Took all the skin off the top of my index finger, middle finger, and 4 knuckles on my right hand and lost a lot of skin on my right knee. Fucking gnarly road rash
Well that's a bit shit. Hope you heal quick. Did you ride to the nearest hospital?

Chopped my steerer, fitted a chain catcher and swapped my brake routing the right way round. Just waiting on some Conti 4000SII's to arrive from rose.de.
Got one of Merlin's new plain white jerseys as well. My nips are dark enough to see through it...

« on: April 22, 2015, 05:33:36 PM »Can someone explain the differences between Chosen and Joytech to me? Google is no help and the driver dude... posted looks like a joytech with a thread on cog...
Joytech is 3 pawls with a single circlip like spring going around the driver, over the pawls which gives the springiness to the pawls. I know thats vague but Ody, demolition and a bunch of others used it especially on complete bikes. The width differed between a few models so it might not be a one hunna percent accurate fit.

I've got a week in may booked to see my parents in France. They're about 45 minutes outside of Limoges. I'll be bringing the road bike. Its not like it's cycling mecca or anything but should get some decent rides in.

« on: April 11, 2015, 02:31:06 PM »The "carbon gripper" stuff? That is fine to have in there. It has little bits of something in there so you don't have to torque the parts as much and they will still grip. My Chinese post that came with the frame had some texture on it already, though, you would be able to get away without using the paste if yours is the same.
Yeah the post did have the grippy stuff but I figured I was meant to use the carbon gripper anyway..
In Estaing now. Weather is superb. 20 degrees every day.
Smashed the climb to Conques yesterday. As an Irishman I'm not too used to this heat yet. Maybe I'm fucked for Italy in the summertime lol.
Fucking stoked I see fighter jets tearing through the valleys every day here. Defiantly a treat for me.
Threw up a few more pics on Instagram if anyone's interested. @hugh356
Isn't it @hughc356? Looks mega. Need to get a touring rig together.

It definitely wasnt the seatpost guts. I slathered the post in grease, put it back in the frame but it still creaked. A bit of bedtime googling told me that regular grease and carbon is a big no no because it can make it swell. In the morning I checked it and the creakiness has gone. Took it out and wiped off all the grease and did the same to the frame. The creak was still gone. Hurrah!
Tl;Dr
It creaked, I greased it, it doesn't creak.
