  1. I've not been following this tread, just had to share experience with Chainreaction and DHL Express. I ordered 7x tires and a jersey from Chainreaction (Birmingham) on Tuesday morning. The GBP181 spend got me "free shipping". My parcel is our for delivery in Somersert West. 3days, may have been a mistake (free DHL Express) - now possibly a PR.
  2. As per others, release some pressure up front. Dialing back the tension on the front clasp (over the toes), fixed a similar problem for me. I believe it is pressure rather than temperature related, but increased temperature will result in increased pressure (contributing to the confusion).
  3. It looks perfect, without bends or kinks, but I will swop it out for a different one and try. [Fortunately my wife also rides 12s Campy.] Thanks
  4. This topic has been covered often, usually with similar solutions. I must be missing something... hoping someone can tell me what else to try. Chain slip in smallest sprocket (11T) at power (>500w), obviously worse with small chain ring, but also happens in big chain ring. Brand new Campagnolo Record 12s chain, like new Super Record Cassette and Record RD on low millage Bora Ultra wheels and freehub. Nothing is worn out. Chain is the right length, not stretched (new) and the tension is good. I straightened the derailleur hanger, moved the limits and re-indexed (it is so perfectly sweet). Only started after I changed from SRAM 12s to new Campy 12s chain. [SRAM 12s chains run quieter over Campy teeth than Campy chains...] I did also re-grease the free-hub. Can a freehub slip and sound/feel like chain slip? Also set the B-screw tension to as close as possible (to engage more of the sprocket teeth). The cassette lock ring is at the required 40Nm and the freehub nut is clean and fits flush. What else should I try? Any input will be highly appreciated. Charl
  5. Racetec confirmed you can arrive at the start of the first climb, start your Strava activity (be safe and start 300-500m before the actual segment), smash the first climb, pause Strava while you relax and get someone to drive you to the next climb. Un-pause and smash the next climb, pause and relax while being driven to the next segment etc. etc. Climb Pause Drive Repeat Obviously do some spinning in between to keep the legs warm. Racetec Cat1: Climbers with good support Cat2: Sprinters without support Cat3: Roy and myself trying not to get dropped by the ladies (no change here) again
  6. According to the website, Racetec seeding will be out tomorrow, Friday 31 January.
