  3. My Speed Triple........sold in 2009 and would love to get another Cafe Racer/Streetfighter type bike. Miss that adrenalin when you twist the throttle
  4. Personally.....I have gone back to Squirt. While I certainly think it works a treat on the lube end of things (and lasts longer) cleaning the chain was just a pain in the ass and not worth it
  5. Pricey but very intriguing.......................
  6. This was the answer I ended up getting from CRC We are sorry to hear that your order has not arrived yet– we know how much of an inconvenience this can be. Your order has been dispatched to you on the 23/10/2013 via a Standard Delivery Service. Just to let you know, it’s not possible to track this service.
  7. Maybe I'm dof or I missed something........I never got a Royal Mail tracking number, where am I supposed to get one or do I just patiently wait for the PO slip telling me my parcel has arrived?
  8. I had the same issue when using shoes with a flexible sole (old style Olympics). My theory (unproven) was that the flex was allowing the cleat to press on nerves in the ball of my foot and that was the cause of the pain, not actually a cramp. If I stopped and massaged the ball of the foot I could get it to go away but it would repeat at ever increasing frequency once it had started (3 hours or so). I moved to a stiffer soled shoe for long rides and while I still get the problem on occasion it is nowhere as painful or chronic as it used to be

  10. Mirinda Carfrae with the 3rd fastest run of the day!!!!!
  11. Dettol - use cotton wool, not even Pepper ticks will bite you
  12. Got my KMC quick link with my KMC chain ...strangely enough. Have never had a problem with them and have re-used numerous times. I thankfully don't sprint

  14. Missus and I are entered and paid...........now to work on some sort of a plan to make sure we are ready
  15. At a 54.271km/h average (according to the Bicycling web site tracker) I think he might be pretty much in a class of his own
  16. And..........if you like Santa Cruz don't forget the Heckler which is a cheaper version of the Bronson above
  17. Sauser my boytie!!!! Thanks for the updates Mr Fantana
  18. Keep posting any updates - can't access the live tracker site from work Thanks
  19. Good call - he loves the hills. Reckon Charles is in good form as well?

    Tour Divide

    Bit of research - official rerouting, so no disqualification but he cannot take the record (and he was well ahead of it as well)

    Tour Divide

    It is riveting - I spend way too much time on the tracker looking at what is going. Alex was looking at a podium in the future and looks like he could get it this year - he is in a almighty battle with James Olsen for 3rd though. He rides later in night and get ahead and then James starts earlier and catches him. Mike Hall (chap who broke the Round the World record) is way ahead (up to a few days ago he was averaging over 200 miles a day ....off road!!!!!) but he did go off course this morning/last night so not sure what the implication of that is in terms of the rules. There was some mention of forest closures due to fires so perhaps he was instructed to make the detour
  22. Been on SRAM for near on last 6 years with no problems. Had a bike with Shimano and also had no problems - go figure
