  1. If you don't Strava your ride, it never happened
  2. I also only got bumped up from E to D, and every other race this year have started from A
  3. Thanks for the advise That seems to have solved it
  4. Hi I was wondering if anyone has some ideas on an annoying creaking noise I seem to have developed on my left pedal/cleat/crank, I am not sure which is the culprit! Just some background into the problem, I have recently changed my shoes and cleats on my road bike and this seems to be when the creaking occurred, although just before that I also changed the group set on the bike and they had to remove the crank etc. So now I am not sure where the problem lies. Some people have said if its the cleats then it is more of a squeaking sound, and if it's the crank then its a deeper creaking noise. I seem convinced it the cleats , so thats why I just need some other opinions. (The bike is carbon btw) I have a set of Look Keo Blade pedals on the bike, which I have not changed and so I figured it can't be them. I did however change from the "grey" 5 degree float Look cleats, to the "black" 0 degree float pedals and changed my shoes to Shimano R321's. Some internet searches suggest spraying some oil/lube on the cleat, but i am a bit worried to try that incase my shoes un-cleat without notice. I have obviously checked to make sure every thing is tight on the shoes and cleats and the crank seems pretty secure, although I don't really know what to look for on the crank/bottom bracket, so any advise would be great cause its getting quite annoying when riding in a group and everyone looks at you, cause of the noise. Thanks in advance
  5. I got seeded EL, which like most have said seems odd, because for the 947 I got seeded A. I know my mates who are also strong riders didn't even get into AL. Anyway, I guess it going to be an interesting race
  6. I got seeded AL However I am thinking of dropping back a few groups due to recovering from injury So I won't push to hard, just treating it as a good training ride! So my question is which will be the most enjoyable group, with a comfortable pace of 27km/h?
  7. The seat post looks a bit high on there! The bike looks cool though
  8. If your resting heart rate is up, that is the first sign that you should not exercise! If you had a head cold and your resting heart rate was normal, then it should be fine to do moderate exercise, but definitely a no go in your case. The best thing is to listen to your body.
  9. I have a stages power meter and it doesn't show a balance between left and right. It will only show power from your left leg. Its still very accurate though

    Lapierre Bikes

    Lapierre's are awesome bikes!! I have a Lapierre EFI 800 and it rides like an absolute dream!! Here is a pic
  11. Thanks for the replies! Here is a chart showing the different sizes and what size you should pick depending on your hight. So from the chart you can see where I sit between either the large or medium. I am going for set up tomorrow and will see what they say will be best. The bike shop has been great and said if it is the wrong size I can always swop it for a medium
  12. I test rode a medium it worked, however the saddle was almost at its limit and stem was possibly to short. This is the reason that i chose a large in the end. I am just wondering if riding a large will feel as nimble as a medium? but i know a large will probably be a more comfortable fit. Thanks for the replies so far
  13. Hi everyone So I would like to know what you all think. I have just bought a new specialised epic dual suspension 29er mountain bike. I ordered the large frame, however I wonder if I should have gone for a medium? My height is 178cm and this puts me at the upper limit of a medium frame or the lower limit of the large frame ​So I don't know what would have been better? or did I make the right choice? Thanks

    Urban MTB Assalt

    It was a good ride and the route was quite challenging. I only had a problem with the storm water drains, fell twice due to them being slippery, and saw many other people also come off. Does any one know what the winning time of the 55km race was?
  19. I am in D group, and did the race last year in 2:42, so I thought I would have been a bit earlier. Not to worried though, will still be fun
