Well - I've just read the Sheldon Brown website that Stevew kindly suggested. It has to be men that devised such complicated 'systems' for measuring wheels and tyres. Why not just measure the diameter of the wheel - or is that too obvious and simple. :roll: The problem with that is that different t...

And it was fine, full of a promise of glorious days, a deep blue sky with dazzling piles of white cloud here and there, as though celestial haymakers had been piling the swathes of last night's clouds into cocks for a coming cartage. There were thrushes in the Richmond Road, and a lark on Putney He...

Depends on the hills you want to climb. Having a steep hill to climb is great, there's a clear defined target to aim for and you can pace yourself and feel you've achieved something. Having a series of undulations where it's just a slog can be soul destroying and it's difficult to prepare or train f...

Agree it's interesting and I think it is one of those questions that somebody somewhere will be seething over thinking that it shouldn't be asked because it is a ta...

Does it matter what ethnic back ground one is?I have to ask this as I'm colour blind. :wink: No it doesn't, and that's why I wondered. We have a sizeable non white male community in the UK - 50% of the population can be classed thus, what I'm really interested in is why doesn't cycling seem to refl...

While watching the TDF last year I didn't see any riders from Japan - despite Shimano being one of the big sponsors of the event, I also didn't see any Africans or Asians. While I'm out on my bike I mainly see people like me - blokes - and the occasional female. This came back to me after the Censor...

New operating system from MicroCloth. Heavily advertised and trailed by the BBC

Hmm, fitted the saddle and it looks wonderful, I think there may be a good reason to move the bag loops too, the shape of my bag makes fitting it a bit awkward. Will have think on this
