Velobase not available

[gerryattrick]

Have just tried looking on Velobase for some stuff on Campagnolo skewers and had a security warning not to use it.

Seems its security certificate has expired and that makes it potentially a security risk for anyone who logs on.

It will be a huge loss if this is not resolved as it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in searching for info on cycle components from dozens of manufacturers.

I could take a chance and access it but don't want to risk anything re my data.

I wouldn't risk it. It has happened before but always returned to normal.

Was there early today to browse. Just ignored the risk. I live on the edge.

I also accepted the risk and am still alive

That security stuff is about entering bank details afaik- if you're just browsing i don't see how you can be hacked.

Jon, the owner of Velobase, is running it in his spare time and on a shoestring budget. So it always takes a bit if time before he is able to get issues resolved. There have been quite a few over the years, but so far he always managed to get the system back up and running more or less correctly. Cut him some slack and donate a couple of bucks every now and then.

Fair enough. Will do.

It's a great site.

One problem is that I will not risk going on it while it still has this security warning, so will have to wait before donating a few quid.
