Hi Hubbers I'm looking for where I can buy replacement helmet pads for a Lazer or Bell helmet or anything similar, like the attached, which fasten to Velcro. My helmet was replaced under crash replacement from "new old stock" and the importer isn't getting any more it seems. Thanks in advance

Yip, unless he's got it in writing or on video then no chance

A new bike helps the recovery process immensely! 😁

Cool thanks, I'll try that. Guinea pig mode...😁

Does this mean that CL were wrong? If so they owe the OP a new frame....

Ive been riding for 20 odd years with undulating fitness. I'm currently on the comeback trail with a forced layoff after prostate cancer and have had good success with the Polarized/180HR training method as my main goal for now is lots of base fitness and at least 15kg weight loss. Ive just resumed with 3 rides per week, (one shorter midweek and 2 longer weekend plus 1-2 gym sessions per week). Is your programme something that would benefit me or am I better off doing what I'm on currently?

The road of good intentions is paved with ...🤣

A slightly different slant ...my roadbike (Ultegra 10 so) rear brake (still rim brakes)was seemingly seized....turned out cable was REALLY toast AND arches somewhat seized/sticking closed ... Now usually shift cables are a doddle, and the same for my Eagle 1x12.... Cable was so buggered where it comes out of toptube/steerer tube (Supersix Evo) that I battled to get enough slack into the lever to pull it out, but did so eventually ...I was clever enough to cut it but leave an end sticking out on both sides of the frame...or so I thought. There is a "barrel" that the cable slocks into in the lever/shifter, in the lever, which came out when I pressed the cable out - by that stage I was becoming moderately concerned, luckily I spotted the plastic bushes on each side and taped the thing together to avoid any more leopard crawling the garage floor with a light looking for parts..I'm still missing a cable end...by then I had undone half that sides bar tape and removed the lever as for the life of me I couldn't get the cable to enter the shifter as the lever needs to be only slightly depressed....ok, when that was done I cleverly taped new cable to the old in an attempt to pull it through which it wouldnt so I thought, "what the hell and pulled the old out ....getting the new cable through the top tube was a battle, luckily despite Messrs Cannondale not fitting a guide into the frame, they fitted a removable ferrule into the frame above the rear brake so after pushing and pulling the cable with the bike on its side I got it through....oh and then I noticed the rear arches were partially seized and cleaned and lubed withQ20 ( not bad for once in about 12 years). What takes 10 minutes in most cases took me an hour and a half . 🤣

If I tried that ride my legs would crack!

Sorry, the cars silver. In my family we have ended up with more and more black bikes ...

Yeah I'm 100% with you. I'm an amateur old man and I'd know that this is gonna be illegal. Too convenient and way too predictable ....

My son recently bought a used Forerunner which has the strap (stupidly?) integrated into the case, and it snapped right at the case. Is there any fix for this? Thanks

Yip. I'm a great fan but it's time to retire

Thanks....things are looking bleak for them. When I looked at Impey in Tour of Norway, he was like 100th out of about 120...

No Team Israel?

This "involuntary" rubbish is just that. Opened container is OK but a closed one not? Hang em high I say!

I looked at wax lube but having to keep removing my chain to apply etc and not being able to re-apply during a race turned me off. I love Squirt and am on about 7000km on an XX1 chain on my MTB that never sees a tar road.

To the idiot on the TT bike in the Cradle this morning.....myself and the car ahead (car ahead driven by a law abiding lady) were held up a bit by a tour bus ...we pass you a few hundred metres before one of the Cradle circles but get slowed down through the circle where you decide to come from behind and try and pass the lady on her left hand side INSIDE the circle and proceed to shout at her and hit on her car with your hand when you run out of road. What an @sshole move. It's guys like you that give us cyclists a bad name.

Yip. I've twice used price match to pick up a useful discount ....

I've gone back to suspecting that they're all doping again....

Or scam or missed a digit in the price....the pics look very low res ....

Use trial and error to see what you're comfortable with. Internal rim width makes a huge difference ie the wider your rims, the greater the volume and the lower pressures required. I can run my front Minion DH as low as 0.9 and my rear Crossmark at around 1.6(against all popular convention and what the apps say) despite weighing 107kg and I've never had a pinch flat or even a slight burp. Yes I might have a tiny bit more rolling resistance but I don't get rattled to bits. That wouldn't work in a high inertia or high G type corner where there is a lot of force involved but the open trails I ride with mild berms and sandy/stony surfaces.... I keep a spreadsheet of all my tyre and shock pressures so I know where I'm at.

Tend to agree. I shop more at CL now than in the past when it had that "elitist" image. The store is staffed by cool people and the service is pretty good with improved pricing.

That same big megastore, let's name them for who they are - Cyclelab, give cyclists a bad name. In general, yes general, they behave like entitled royalty that need 3-4 abreast rather than the reasonable 2 abreast. Look at clubs like Northcliff Cycles and Club 100 to see thatsharing the road is possible
