Working on what Daz quoted I would sorce another chain and put it on after about another 1000 to 1500 miles.
He said eight and one eighth was the must change length.

Great stuff Trev. You've made me home-sick with mention of local races mind

[Man from Del Monte]

Shap and back TT tomorrow morning. 28 miles and 1400'.
i have been handicapped to finish in 1hr 30 mins...... 2 hours more like it.
just praying for a tailwind up the hill

[Hanneke]

Good riding going on here!

Good luck Man from Delmonte, sounds like a TOUGH TT you are in for!

Emm, don't know anything about spinning but how do you break a spinning bike???? LOL!

No racing this weekend, as I am on work duty... This is odd for me, as I have been racing all but two weekends all season!

Did a good hard ride this am though, keeping the HR at zone 4 for about an hour, on top of whic Ib had warmup and down... Legs nicely glowing now

[monkeynut]

Caning it around the Gisburn mtb tracks on one of my crossers pushing it hard on the climbs with some good running up the top end on the greasy switchbacks and to the top of the rock garden at Welpstone crag
It was more fun than a box of frogs watching some lads on a full sussers trying there hardest to fend me off on the climbs:w00t:

No it will be okay for now, trev is about right but keep checking it toffer. No ride for me today as I was on race organisation duty but I got up early and stripped a road bike down in 35 minutes. Cleaned out the bottom bracket , cleaned all the parts, re built in about an hour. No bike shop bills. Lbshops are becoming increasingly expensive nowadays and and a friend of mine has been quoted over a hundred quid to swap over a bike.
I've been seriously thinking about becoming qualified and setting up. The bike inn do great courses.

did 1hr 39mins for shap and back today. 28 miles of hell in this wind. a lot of years since i have climbed a hill like that. legs are totally trashed. i could hardly get out of the car when I got home. so just watched the grand prix. good win for Hamilton and settle down to watch Liverpool soon.
