When I saw the headline, I had my doubts it was the best thing to do. For me we should make the existing cycling clubs diverse and welcoming of all, and ultimately that will lead to a more integrated society. Having specific cycling clubs based upon gender, race, sexual preferences, etc. just...

Just saw this and since the OP mentioned the Giro I thought it might be of interest of those of you who don't have Eurosport. It's available for £19.99 for 12 months: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/eurosport-player-19-99-for-12-months-via-gift-subscription-2681376

Froome's tweet was from March 2015, I'd say they'd been watching his video if anything.

I've got my eyes on a rather expensive 2016 Trek for my other half, the Silque SL C(arbon). It's the only bike that meets the minimum spec I've decided she needs (which is way too high) and the colour scheme she wants (blank & pink). Does anyone know if Trek generally offer big discounts on...

Did you watch the video all the way through?

Haha. To clarify, the budget got thrown out of the window and I've ordered pretty much everything. The parts started to arrive on Friday, which so far includes the frame (and fork), the wheels (skimped a little here, compared to rest of the build, on some Kinesis Crosslite CX disc) and the...

You may or may not remember that probably this time last year I was asking for advice on a CX bike, I was basically after something that was carbon, had disc brakes and had mudguard eyelets. Well fast forward 12 months and I've ended up buying a frame and the components. For the frame I've gone...

I've got hydraulic disc brakes on my mountain bike and have found them pretty awkward to setup. The clearance between the pads and the disc is minimal, so the slightest discrepancy in the disc will result in rubbing. I once accidentally applied the brake while I didn't have the wheel in which...

The folks at bikeradar say the high limter isn't letting it move out far enough. I can understand having your lower limiter to low would cause it to come off on the inside and having the high limter too high would cause it to fall off the outside, but couldn't work out why it was falling off in...

I've asked this elsewhere, but thought I might as well ask here too and get some advice from the geeks: I've recently upgraded my groupset to Di2 Ultegra on mt TT bike. New chain and cassette included. I've dropped the chain a couple of times now when shifting from the small ring to the big...

I was a bit tipsy last night, so probably didn't explain things too well. Butf or your own training is where the power meter should come into its element because the readings should be consistent. Therefore if one ride has more power than another that means you are producing more power. And if...

Sorry, I've been on holiday. You can't really compare your power (from Strava) to the other guys (which I assume was with a power meter). Strava just calcs a value based upon (I guess) the speed, gradient plus weight of bike and rider (remember those values you guessed when you first signed up...

I registered an interest and now have the chance of purchasing one for $200 ($190 pledge plus $10 shipping). Just weighing up whether to go for it. A few people expressed concern that it increases the Q factor (and there's no mention of whether yo get a dummy one for the other pedal to keep it...

Note that you need to buy a specific chain, they are slightly different widths depending upon how many cogs you have on the rear cassette. I believe Claris is 8 speed, so get an 8 speed chain. You will also need to remove some links to make it the correct length. A Google search will show you...

The age is irrelevant, but 2,000 miles is a decent amount of use. The chain (and cassette) could need replacing after that amount of time. Especially if you've been using it throughout the winter and/or not maintaining (clean and lube) as much as you should.

Hope you recover soon Indurain's Lungs. Is the high hematocrit linked to the atrial flutter?

Did my first ever 10 mile TT today. Wasn't really too sure what to expect but am happy with my time of 26:20 (using TT bike), especially given the weather. The ground was wet and there were 3 roundabouts where you turned back on yourself which were really slippy. It was also quite windy and...

That was screaming for "...if I don't ride it!" :)

I don't recall who it was but I remember someone recently complaining about being unable to login to Bike Radar forums. I was having the same issue, I was in the forum, clicked the login button and it'd take me to the main (non-forum) page - but no logon button was obvious. Found that if I then...

I think it all helps but using a gym bike generally means you won't have the same position as you would on the road bike, most have a much more relaxed upright sitting position. The saddles are usually much more cushioned too! You also need to try and ensure the saddle height is set correctly...
