Sweetspot Colin, Thanks for the info and also for the link. We are keeping our fingers crossed on all the cols being open and I'm hoping i don't get too much stick for the fact a later departure was impossible because of my wife and my little girl's birthdays! The sweetspot idea, and...

Thanks Gentlemen, thank you for your replies. I have just ended up doing a dutch 4 hours into a headwind riding home from my in-laws but you have both given me a session to try that i had not thought of. Just out of interest, when you say upper zone 2 for HR, Colin, what % MHR are you...

Hi, A question for any experienced alpinistes, "What is the best focus for the last month before a planned alpine epic riding week?" By way of background, myself and 5 five buddies are heading to Briancon for 6days alpine riding. We are doing 5 circular routes covering the Izoard (Day...

Garmin 500 Hi. I don't know the Joule but have had a Garmin 500 for a week now. I am delighted with it. I don't use the cadence and power but do use the computer functions and the HR monitor. Have to say it works brilliantly. I'm no computer geek but have managed to set the thing up...

I'm no expert.... I have a distinction in my mind here. What is legal v illegal = what is dope and what is not? Would I drink strong coffee and pop Pro Plus pills? Would I take protein powders, creatine, branch chain amino acids & vitamin supplemnets? Would I sleep in a hypoxic tent & train...

Briancon rocks Six of us are going to the alps in June. We are staying in Briancon and planning to do a mixture of routes either starting and finishing in Briancon or moving our start/finish up and down the highway. All is possible with a minimum of driving but impossible starting from...

I love these threads.... Lieing, cheating, doping. Sporting fraud, societal moral implosion. There are so may issues wrapped up in these threads. I'm never sure what people expect. Is driving a car faster than the speed limit breaking the law even though it's only punishable if you're...

Thanks for the reply. I stupidly did my new 11 speed with my old 10 speed outer cables; hence the re-cabling. Certainly helped a bit and, having re-read the instruction manual, so did indexing initially on the 5th cog. Spending is certainly over and LBS is going to check rear mech, hanger and...

Thanks for the tips. I have just re-cabled and have ordered a new rear mech hanger. I will install the hanger and try the cassette one more time if not successful. Have got things feeling pretty good now but having gone through a couple of rear mechs, a couple of cassettes and a couple of...

Hi, Anyone got any suggestions on the following. 11 speed chorus set up. Right cables, tweaked by LBS, indexed perfectly but chain does not run smoothly in 6th gear. I can adjust the rear mech to run smoothly in 6th gear but not index properly elswhere or I can adjust the rear mech to index...

Reynolds attack Reynolds attack carbon clinchers. 1415g. Standard DT swiss spokes. Comes with carbon brake pads, tyre levers, spoke key. Better than any aluminium clinchers. Shop aropund on the internet and no more than £700-800.

Just fitted Chorus 11 no problem. The cassette went on my reynolds attack rear no worries at all. Jon

Hi, Have ridden the eastons and mavic kysrium sls but have recently switched to reynolds attack carnon clinchers. Have to say, the reynolds are different class and got then for about £700 from my local bike shop. Jon
