You used to huck the log at chicky after all that training. Then you threw it all away. Find a nice jump and hit 40 times with the flats. Re-learn the timing. I just had to do that today with the new bike.

Hmm. Tomorrow I shall go back to SPD’s for a day. All of this is clearly nothing more than displacement for a worry of being properly rubbish come race day.

I’ve got single sided SPDs on the Pompino. It’s a sort of halfway house. But maybe worth a go? Enjoy the Alps, must admit I was happy to be clipped in for the stuff I rode. The big stacks I took were not jump-off-able

Haha just noticed the date on this, 2008! Sorry… found it via googling why Chiltern Railways’ cycle policy was so crap. Trying to get a cheap advance ticket and every time I find a slot, then I have to lick three times to check if there’s a cycle space available. NONE so far. Then realised that you can’t book seats nor bike spaces and have to chance it – EVEN THOUGH the site design makes it seem like you should book a bike space (you have to read some pretty small print to work this out, for starters). Why can’t the idiot, obviously non-cycling web designers and Chiltern Railways put the simple explanation on their page dedicated to the issue?
Put in big letters: ‘ON MOST TRAINS YOU CANNOT BOOK A SEAT NOR A BICYCLE SPACE SO IGNORE THE WEBSITE OPTION’. Or just remove the website option, unless I’m missing something…

Did we have video back in the day? I thought it was a bloke with slate and chisel

There’s a video that goes with that bunny hop pic. But stick with the Photo version to preserve your “I hopped up 14 inches” memory. Glad to see the logic of flats is back upon you.

But as it happens I bought some on CRC just after I posted that! Went on and they had some Funn on sale for £12, too cheap to miss!

Paul Cooper I have some spare but assume you are still abroad in far flung lands.

I still run 685′s – I do want some 710′s though.
