Pot noodle, what you need is to carefully take a kettle, fill it with water and put it on the stove. Wait for the water to come to 100C, while waiting you can prepare your pot noodle. You will need to take the foil off the top and empty the sauce into the container on top of the noodles (pro tip: warm hands are better than cold). Once the water has come to the boil, gently poor it into the pot noodle container. Leave to one side for 2 mins, stir and wait another 3 mins.
Bon appetit.

Just kidding, I'm a chef and cook good food but after a long day of riding nothing beats the simplicity off pot noodles.

But it's not carbon, it's steel.

For the extra 500, I would of prefered rohloff. Electric shifting and touring or commuting (guess what any hub gear bike is for) seems kind of silly.

You could just run 25c, all the pros are now

3 hours before bumping?

Anyway, you thought about p-clips then just using something like sks chromoplastics?

It would be set by cookies, mine are deleted when I close a browser. Normally though as long as you check "keep me signed in" the cookie should be persistant for a week/month/any amount of time.

I think by "proper" he means using braze-ons, no?

It would be harder to keep clean with tape running all over it.

EDIT: I have some thin helicopter chainstay tape I bought ages ago. Just threw that on, see how that keeps up.

I have my dynamo cable running from my front light (mudguard boss) to my rear light on my pannier rack. I have done this up the brake cable along the top tube, down the brake cable and across the rack. All is fine except the gap where the is no brake cable to tie it too on the top tube. Here it rattles. Other than cable ties on the top tube, any other ideas?

I wouldn't jump red lights even if I could. It seems silly to want to be part of traffic, then say we don't need to follow the same rules.

Gear strech normally occurs within a month or less depending on riding. I wouldn't say it was if you bought it in May and have ridden it a fair few times. I have never experianced this (other than mild cable strech). But I would just hold out for the replacement.

I used to find all saddles bad, I then tried brooks team pro. It was fine on my genesis equilibrium at the time, less so on the croix de fer and by the time I moved to the Raleigh randonneur it was uncomftable. I guess this was how much I was sitting up. I sold it (on here) and bought a b17 select, bit hard but very comftable. I like the fact that brooks feel sturdy.

I'm feeling very young reading this thread.

I finished fitting mine today. I used spade connectors to connect it all. I am using an SP hub, Luxos B front light and toplight plus brake rear light. Went out to pick up my Son's coat from Grandma's that he forgot and it all seemed to work. I can take pictures if you want, I used electrical tape to try and "weather proof" the connections.
