if you want to give us the lecture then choose one of the many anti-cycling threads on the forum

The thread was what are you going to do this year. So this year fit a bell and use it.
It wasnt a lecture, it was a simple request to fit a bell and use it. I am quite happy to step to the side so a cyclist doesnt have to slow down.

Well said, they're an absolute menace. Lycra clad louts riding nine abreast who don't pay road tax.

Pedestrians wearing headphones
I went for a socially distanced bike ride yesterday. When I am coming up behind someone I always give a ring on my bell so pedestrians do not get a fright when I ride past them. Yesterday I noticed loads of people failed to react to the bell because they were wearing headphones/ear buds. This...

Got a new bike and was out for a few hours in the mud and rain and brakes started to deteriorate, which I put down to the conditions. I didn’t realise how much until I couldn’t stop on a ramp and nearly ended up in the canal.
The bike has Juin tech F1 Hybrid Discs (hydraulic) and a quick tighten and they’re fine. But they won’t stay tight and whilst it’s my first bike with hydraulic discs this can’t be the norm?
Im crap with this stuff. Any ideas?
I use these and they at least keep your arse dry. On wetter/muddier days you’ll still get spray up your back.

Nobody pays road tax, it was abolished in 1937 man.
We now have vehicle emissions duty. Bikes along with fully EV cars do not have emissions therefore pay no VED. Its not a difficult concept to grasp.

What about farting cyclists? There'll be dangerous gasses in flatulence.

Good...my wife's best bike is a PX Carbon with Ultergra DI2.
Very good bike ( I've used it before) and nice stiff frameset.
Outstanding value. While my best bike isn't a PX I'd have no qualms about buying one.
One of my first TT bikes was their Exocet and was superb

It appears to be approx. £1k less than similarly-spec'd bikes from other manufacturers so you can understand why people would question how they're making money on this model. The frame (on their website) is £1.1k alone.

Well let people pay £1k more then and have a better name on their frame. Always find framesets are artificially inflated if sold alongside full bikes, almost makes the consumer think they might as well buy the full bike.
Seen loads of pictures/stories of frame failures over the years, and if it's say a Cervelo or Pinarello they will look for any reason why it's not the manufacturers fault, a PX has the same problem and its "dodgy carbon cheap frames from China"

might be a topic already covered on these pages, but whats the deal with choosing between 700c & 650b wheels? in looking into some gravel bikes i've spotted that some people are often choosing the 650b's, why? i haven't really found out what the benefit is these smaller wheels?

nah arsehole drivers are twats all year round...the dark just makes their road behaviour far more dangerous.
Doesn't matter how well lit up or visible if someone is driving like a twat
on another topic I need a new set of road wheels for summer bike..
Not wanting to go too daft price wise (£500 ish) and rim brakes and clincher.....ideas or suggestions welcome.
not be needed till Easter or so
