If you want to do some pave (or kaissen, if you're a fussy linguist) then I can heartily recommend these guys - http://www.cyclingpave.cc/ I was with them for RVV this year and it was fantastic. :D They even have their own Malteni beer. :cool:

Clearly not. You could also add in ignorant and full of ****.

Topeak Road Morph - it's the one with a hose and fold-out foot, which turns it into a mini track pump. It really is very, very good. As you are pushing against the ground it's much easier to get to high pressures (110psi+). It's also lasted me for over five years without breaking, and I'm hard...

Won't washing them a few times do the thing, or are the edges effectively melted plastic? Would have posted earlier but I was weak from the manly musk coming off Durian Rider's post.

He was on a (very) short list of Clinic posters who I would read and look out for. Sad news.

He's wrong about wheelies. Otherwise, nice. :cool:

After a 100 mile ride in foul weather with no mudguards and a saddle that had holes in I finished with a chafed and scabby perineum. Mudguards rock...:cool: Er, when you ride off-road are you riding in close enough formation to have spray from the chap up front getting in your eyes? And do...

There's a review here - http://road.cc/content/review/28095-magicshine-mj-816-led-front-light and some potentially useful comments below the line. You don't say where you want to use the light. Off-road the Magicshines will be fine (albeit with flaky reliability) but on-road they are a...

The OP clearly needs to chill out a bit - why not sit down with a nice cup of tea? Here are some mugs for your tea- I'm sure they'll ship to the US if you ask nicely. :)

Newsflash - what anyone here thinks is completely irrelevant and I doubt that anyone from Contador down gives a toss about playing you. Contador's case will be considered by CAS, not a scratch jury of internerds.

I'll do my best. :p But, yes, very sporting and fair.

Would it fair to say that the bunch stays together for longer these days? It's pretty unusual for the big GC contenders to do much more than follow wheels until the final col on a mountain stage, as opposed to launching long distance raids. A greater emphasis on bunch riding would have the...

No worries. My pinscher, Kloedi, keeps them at least 4' 19" behind me.

Yes Ryo, you're quite correct. Colombian riders rely on pure instinct and intuition. Only crappy western riders, pumped up on FAIL and cheap coffee need race radio.

Not an uncommon attitude. Happily, me cheering G, Wiggy et al doesn't put a penny in Murdoch's pocket.
