+1 for new wheels, but as you're running 7 speed, check for compatability.

You could also try a titanium railed saddle and or carbon seatpost for a bit of extra flex. Alternatively, some good, thick bar tape might also dampen the vibration a bit.

Haven't you seen how bad they look?

Such a tragedy. The inaction is scandalous.

Roofbox.co.uk used to recommend not using fork mounted bike carriers with carbon forks - something about the different directional stress that goes through the fork when clamped in a fixed position. I've just checked their site and I can't find this now, but there is some general advice about fork m...

In defence of Wiggle, I have found their customer service to be excellent. I had a few small issues with a new cx bike a coupe of years ago and they responded quickly and in a way that put what I needed first.

They're an internet shop, so is having to deal by email so unexpected?

Report it. You have the time, date, road, car make and model, and reg number too.

I agree with MickF.

On a plane, especially if there is more than one flight involved, I'd always go for a hard case bike box, still packing it with extra foam, bubble wrap, pipe lagging etc. I've only used soft case bags in bike trailers attached to coaches. If you do go for a hard case, as an additonal precaution, loc...

Never tried it personally, but I have heard that shampoo is good for that.

You need either home contents insurance with cover away from the home, or a dedicated bike insurance policy, like that available from the CTC.

Key improvements I'd suggest: - Be able to log in with an email address linked to my membership account - my membership number is not memorable - Be able to stay logged in, or not, when I leave the site - I'd like the option - Undertake a thorough usability evaluation and update the navigation and s...

Go for something with a telescopic mechanism. It makes life easier. Also, look for something where by the majority of the pump is attached to the value and remains stationary. I have a Topeak Mini Master Blaster, which is a real pain. Only a small portion of the pump is fixed (the rest is the pumpin...

It is good, I have to say. Never seen a bad Park tool (not even the beer glass!), but you'd expect that at a premium price.

+1 for Asguard sheds and bike lockers.
