Sorry to hear that. Hope it's good news from the MRI and that you get better soon.

Ouch! Hopefully you're doing stretches for it. About the only thing to bring relief for Sciatica. Hope it gets better soon.

This is just for Stat. I miss him on here.

Good stuff! Great support around you from loved ones is massive and will help see you through I'm sure. Can be helpful to have targets to aim for too, so long as we don't got too hung up about delays in meeting them, or even rearranging them completely. Like I say, none of us knows what the...

I'm really sorry to hear that. I really hope you can make a full recovery and, maybe even eventually get back on the bike. Good for you posting about it too. This place can be incredibly supportive and so posting here is a positive first step. I won't go into detail about my nearly 3 years off...

Sorry Stat. Needs must and all that, sadly. I have to confess though that I'm really enjoying the experience.

But DO listen to Hamilton. I mean, it's not like he's ridden Paris Roubaix or anything silly like that. :lol:

Brian Smith, when co commentating on Tour of Wallonie recently, said the World's Road Race parcour is dangerous. Especially so if it's rains. I've since seen a preview of it, and the previewer agrees. There are over forty 90 degree turns on the circuit lap, which is repeated thirteen times...

Thanks. Yes, hub gear bikes, some with belt drives no less!, have come up on my bike search during research. Certainly another option to consider for any future bike build :thumbsup:

What could possibly go wrong. :lolol:

Looks pretty certain now that I'm going to have to give up drop handlebars for good due to back related health reasons (don't ask, it's a very long, nearly 3 year, story). That story probably belongs on the mental health thread if truth be told. The upshot is I intend to hit this with a...

Oh ok, thanks.

Thanks. Yes, digging deeper on searches seems to lead to middle distance pointing forums. I quite like that routing route. Seems very logical to me. I have my eyes on a frame that has everything set up for that route, which I found odd as never seen it before. P.S. Have you any experience with...

Question: Has anyone ever seen a rear derailleur cable routed along the top tube and down the seat stay, rather than the usual route down the down tube under the button bracket and along the chain stay? This is an internal routing question, which btw, is all new to me. Edit: I should add that...

Marvellous scenes!

Agreed. What I forgot to say the first time around was, if it isn't dry drop outs then the next course of action is to whip the pedals off (remembering the weird righty tighty, loosey leftie rules for pedals) and clean and regrease the axels. BB is always the last resort as, unless in...

First port of call is to clean and grease up the drop outs. Wouldn't mind betting that'll be it :thumbsup: Edit: Clicks often sound like they're coming from the bottom bracket, even when they're not. That should be your last resort fix as it's the most expensive and tricky to do.

From the recent Tour de Bretagne. Makes THAT RVV crash seem like child's play :eek: Thankfully the 4 riders taken to hospital are all ok. Fractured wrist was the worst outcome apparently.

At Eschborn-Frankfurt today. Shut up legs! :ROFLMAO:

Marvellous scenes! :ascarf:
