Gravity

im also back in after a good couple of years ignoring these threads. my continual ignorance of my weight is starting to show in my BP/cholesterol etc the tide needs to turn in 2020.

Sure, this is certainly understood, but this is kind of an obvious problem. I should add if i chuck my MTB pedals (old long spindle XT's) on then the issue is gone

No doubt, and i will certainly take that into consideration, however i enjoy tinkering, and even sometimes fudging, i also think that perceived comfort is a pretty good indication of bio mechanical fit.

No bike fitting done, i am basing this on the feeling of comfort. @Mongoose i am running Look Keo Max 2, so i must just get those little spacers, but by the feel it is out by more than 2mm, i also have Spez road shoes, and have moved the cleats quite a bit, and can feel that my feet would prefer the cleats more to the middle of the shoe.

Hey all, Posting this here in the hope that someone can assist. I have a road bike with look Keo Max 2 pedals. My Feet feel WAY too close to the crank, i have moved my cleats as close i can to the inside of my shoes (that in itself doesnt feel great) does anyone know where i can get these without importing them (as the shipping is more than the part) - for the below i am looking at like R750!!!!! I have not purchased the addon for the pedals, as they gain 2mm only and i doubt that is enough. any idea's (I am open to ghetto mods)

cool Hairy, you are welcome to take it for a spin. I will Pm you my deets and we can meet up sometime.

Thanks man, it is a large frame and i am 182/183cm, the frame is rather roomy, i could have gone medium. I imported a Soma Steel MTB fork (made by tange) aaaages ago, it's been powdercoated from its original glossy black, unfortunately this resulted in the loss of the rad logo.

I have also noticed that this time of the year is like a tinderbox of emotion. its like people try so hard to destress that they are more stressed.

I have had a cold for 2 weeks. Sore throat and a headache, with a general feeling of crappiness.

if you are on your own and want company, wait at the robots by the flea market, im sure a couple of peeps will come on by. My spidey senses tingle riding through that place.

Guys, they wont be able to fasten it properly..........DUHHHHH!

Keep it til you go to a bachelors party or a big messy bday party. Helmet + 6pack of beer+ Duct Tape + some tubing = Party Beer Helmet. (or screw a couple of cheap bottle cages on) if you are into that sort of thing.

105 - i would be interested in a bulk order of the cables if i cannot find them locally.

@Milky, those look interesting, but for aesthetics have you tried to find compression less cable housing? i have a set of mechanical disc brakes: Shimano R-517 / SM-RT54-S (160/160) and have no problems, but have read online that compressionless cables provide quite a noticeable upgrade in braking power

congrats on the bike, enjoy the hunt for another wheelset.

Gritty Crit

i was proper sick for a week at the beginning of this month. Pretty nuts fever, absolutely crazy headache and burning eyes, with a nose that felt like i had snorted cement. Been doing nothing exerting for 3 weeks, because although i am symptom free (apart from this damn blocked nose) i still feel off, decided i had had enough and NEEDED to go for a ride. Took a chilled ride, but man, there is still something lurking inside, i felt terrible. Like bonking, but after a ride that would get me the opposite of a PB. My mind wants to fly, but my body can only crawl.

the bit that is discoloured and "torn" i assume that is *Supposed to be permanently fastened? The actual release looks like it is the plastic nut, you undo that and the handlebar holder thing comes loose? in that case i would try superglue the snapped/torn part back where it came out of.

shame man, that is a swak one, i also need a bell. On another note, Cryotherapy sessions are like R500 per session, we get ours for free......i am still cold from this am cycle.

i don't know what it is, but some shops feel inviting, others don't........ i personally don't actually know what it is. example, i just dig the Giant shop in town......its just got a cool vibe IMO.

i am using Vee tyres - 40c Rail's i think they are called - they leak sealant out the sidewalls like a siev. Using Stans, im hoping they are better after the next sealant topup.
