    The City of London Nocturnal took place last night in the Square Mile, first time in 8 years! and was a huge success. Great to see a Saturday night crit take place in the centre of London with large enthusiastic crowds. It works so well at night and in the middle of London! Dartmoor, so must...

    Turbo Vado SL5 2022 wheelset recommendation

    Yes sorry. Rear 12x148 - industry standard for 29ers

    Turbo Vado SL5 2022 wheelset recommendation

    Hi Andy Spesh picked an awkward wheel axle size when they released the Vado SL! I was idly looking into this recently and I worked out my best bet was to get some 29er MTB XC wheels, these are lightweight and strong. The rear axle is the same axle size as a lot of 29ers; 12x110mm boost so a...

    Saw him collapse at finish but that was oxygen debt from final climb effort, didn't realise he was still suffering from crash aftermath. You're right. Loads abandoned today for that reason, July is very close. Josh Tarling having collarbone surgery today, Geraint Thomas was saying that a week...

    Vado SL 4.0 with a suspension fork?

    Yeah be careful with AI, I was asking questions about a bike on ebay and it told me a downright lie, which I corrected and it said of course! You're right! then immediately got it wrong again. Have to double check stuff. Teravail Rutland look good. Your issue on the back is the stupidly low...

    Another shopping trip so another excuse for some architecture pics. It's a very old town Mortonhampstead, on the edge of the moor. Slight Wickerman vibes...

    Amazing recovery. Tuckwell has about 40secs lead going into final stages with 4 climbs and another big final climb, he won't make it but the battle behind is intriging. Think he should be ok re the cars. Commentator mentioned the narrow road and basically a slow traffic jab so little advantage...

    Vado SL 4.0 with a suspension fork?

    Also worth tweaking the gearing to go with the front sus off road gravel bike/mtb feel. I've got a 36 chainring on the front and went 11-46 on the rear from stock 44T and 11-40 (i think) makes the steep Dartmoor hills much easier and kinder on the motor as I can spin more, less feeling the motor...

    Vado SL 4.0 with a suspension fork?

    Superb work! Fascinating to see the ol' Vado with the sus forks. Didn't realise you were a tall lad, so funny for me (medium size, 5'10") to se such a massive triangle. Looks like it'll work. If the budget stretches to a lightweight suspension it will look and feel great I think. What tyres...

    Good to know. Well not good. Was surprised and pleased to see Del Toro stay with Seixas. And the day after Mexico easily beat South Africa in the opening game World Cup.

    With this one yes, especially if saving himself for next month plus he's not a climber. On a grand tour bit different, most try and finish and as we saw with Van Aert in the mountains at last year's Giro, he can be very very handy!.

    Interesting developments all over the shop. Ineos boys nowhere, did Onley crash? Commentator wasn't sure. Everyone else except Del Toro out the back, but Del Toro looks good so far. Jorgenson cracked but not far off by end. And a new young climber from Oz, Luke Tuckwell. He's a good climber...

    3 mountaintop finishes, two long and steep. I bet Seixas is planning an explosive attack on one at least, pog style, counting on powering away and then claw his way into a big lead. It might be a case of playing the Felix Gall game of not trying to match him due to his power, but going at own...

    I really hate the ads. For some reason I'm loathe to dish out to You tube even though I watch it a lot and so suffer the enormous amount of ads on there. Mostly for AI it seems these days.
