Re: Advice : Alu - Clincher wheels recommendations
TBH, I think you might be looking into it too much. All wheels around that price will have no discernible performance difference and it basically comes down to the one that you like the look of the most.

Re: Advice : Alu - Clincher wheels recommendations
It's hard to beat Deep V's, even with the stock hubs. They are what the AIS use as training wheels so they will most likely hold up to whatever we can throw at them.

Re: A roof over tempe track
Probably best not to bring it up, as I can see the council taking the most cost-effective option and just closing the track as it would be deemed 'unsafe'.
My solution would be to pour petrol on the mould and set it alight, thus killing it with fire.

Re: Top Notch Bib Shorts
In my experience, Assos tend to go see-through in the buttcrack region after ten washes or so. Unsurprisingly not many people who wear them are aware of this. Not very nice, especially when you're drafting a person of Italian descent. I have a pair of Rapha pro team and Rapha Classic bibs and they a...

My speakers are broken, thanks for clarifying!From what I can make out from the audio the first thing the bike rider says as he gets up off the road is: "expletive, Virgin Mary, you had a red light"

Re: Monday and Wednesday training schedule.
Tomorrow night I was thinking a warm-up paceline (trying to keep it steady, not a smash-fest), with some 3-up match sprints. This to be followed by either a madison if people are interested, or getting two or three riders together as the rabbits for the rest of us to catch. Hope to see you all there...

Apparently Goldcross are having a 50% off sale at the moment, it might be worth hitting that up.
FWIW, my Tk2 was my dream bike when I bought it (nearly three years ago now!) and I've only recently thought about retiring it because it's getting a bit noodley. Great bikes!

Re: Monday and Wednesday training schedule.
Patty I'm thinking we can work around the pursuers/paceline like we did Monday night (this worked well). I had a few things in mind but running some starts and doing some timed efforts will work too. I'll try and get there a little after six and we can discuss.
