Old Rusty Bike Wheels Wanted
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone had some old, rusty bike wheels that we can borrow over the New Years period for a 'flower installation' ?
It is just an idea at this stage so if we can't find them we'll look for an alternative.

Re: Thursday 31st July: Everesting
I don't think that was her. She's on her BH roadie but BondiFit were all riding with her this morning. You probably saw one of the other girls who were there as moral support.
She's still going FYI. 3,500m down.

Re: Electronic vs. Mechanical Shifting?
I find it is also hand size Eleri. Comes down to the 'lever' motion. The longer your fingers are, the lower down you can push the shifter ergo, it's easier to push. I can only push it mid way down the shifter and so requires a lot of force. The poor girl who borrowed my bike for the Ironman had to t...

650B is 584mm diameter, 650C is 571mm, so 13mm, or about 1/2 inch.

Re: Electronic vs. Mechanical Shifting?
Eleri makes a good point that shifting onto the big ring can be hard. My hands are little and I have been known to slip occasionally.
I like whirring.
Oh, but I don't have a beard or drink beer.

I have a dishwasher we need to pass on. It hasn't been used for 12 months or so but was in perfect condition prior to that.

However, it has come to crunch time where I have to decide between mechanical (likely Dura Ace) or electronic gearing (Di2) as the frame will be made to suit.

But when I started with the club these club crits were a monthly feature and a lot of fun so I heartily recommend everyone to give it a go.

Most TdF riders ride on rest day. I think any riding should incur at least incur 1 point?Remember Tuesday is a rest day, any activity receives negative points
Especially given we have a DHBC sanctioned ride on tomorrow morning.
