Didnt claim im a local legend, I just said that I like to keep peoples expectations low as a 61 year old bloke on a deeply unfasionable £150 bike loaded with accessories that nobody else bothers with....."underpromise and overdeliver" is always a good policy IMO and I have never used STRAVA or...

Its all a cunning ploy, when I go out on a Thursday training ride there always people that dont know me, so an old duffer with an unfasionable bike, with a kickstand, a bell, a handlebar bag, a mirror and a portapotty saddle with springs and a £15 helmet is sure to be slow right ? I always swap...

Here is my latest purchase, actually amazingly comfortable particularly off road when combined with a suspension post, it was £11.95 though!!!! Ebay, brilliant and pearticularly great for convincing people that I will be slow

WOW I am on my way immediately to buy these wonderful additions to make my cycling experience even safer and more enjoyable thanks for thinking of me :)

I am getting on well with this set up just an experiment at the moment but I will probably keep it, I have used linear pull Tektro drop bar levers for V brakes with cyclo X top mount repeaters and that all works great, drops are spaced at 51cm, time will tell

Was just first part of induction today, finished at 15.00, havent gotten into the job proper yet, and I suppose that would be a better place for my posts agreed

Cool these arrived from China today, what do you reckon ?.....worth a try huhhh??

Hmmmm I have always used bar ends on flat bars and never broken one so they may be ok, but point taken, not sure about the ergonomics yet, I will try them and let you know

It wasnt, I didnt read it properly

Anyhow chaps, I start a full time job tomorrow so this will likely be my final post, so happy cycling, I have had far too much time on my hands recently :-)

LOL obviously not properly :-)

deleted as I didnt read the article properly :-)

So by your reasoning, any review of anything on CW is not worth reading particularly if there are links to buy, is that correct?

Hmmmm Cycling weekly are somewhat more open minded than you guys, maybe give one a proper try before commenting ? https://www.cyclingweekly.com/group-tests/best-road-bike-mirrors-handlebars-468095

Wwwwwwwwwwwwww Its a form of inverted snobbery, also I find that when I go out with the local roadies, a good trick is to look as incapable as possible, bell, mirror, kickstand, handlebar bag (but still swap tyres to 23c), its a myth that these things slow you down very much....."underpromise...

Certainly did, it enhanced the riding experience in so many ways as it always does :)
