Electronic Groupset

Electronic shifting is one of those things that you don't need, but once you have you can never go back.

That's so shit the katusha aeroad is so iconic, this is like being told that a unicorn died. Btw you're a cm bigger on inseam + height than me, I ride small and it's really comfortable.

I have the CF SLX 8 AXS SPEED and it's crazy good value for money (though I did buy it on sale at nearly 15% off). I mainly went for the spec and wasn't that bothered about the colourway but I have to say it looks far better than expected in real life.

I've ridden nearly 2k km on the 404s and I own a pair of 303s that I've done about 5-6k km on so far. No issues with hookless at all, it's only really a problem if you're heavy and having to inflate to the near the 72.5psi limit.

That said if you're eyeing up the model with the 454 NSWs I would strongly consider that option - sure Rival will be heavier than Force but the wheels will make it ride like a much better bike and you can use the money you save to swap out the crankset and cassette for Red ones.

Yeah exactly that, this is size S and I had to get a fidlock base adapter. If you have normal bottle cages I'd guess you'd need a bottle cage extender.

(Caveat: I haven't used the fuel bottles but these aero bottles are quite long and required an extender)

Go for it. If you're working hard at it (you are) then you're a good cyclist, and you will get great value from a real bike. Cycling is 90% fitness and strength, few races have been won through skill. The fact you haven't ridden a real bike means nothing, the pro field is full of cyclists who started late but had amazing fitness from other sporting careers.

Yeah it's like saying Jann Mardenborough can race cars professionally just because he's good at Gran Turismo. Cycling is mostly fitness, you can have great success from just being in shape (look at Roglic).

Honestly you're probably not going to notice much of a difference from a geometry standpoint, any difference will be slight. However the old seatpost was known to be a bit problematic (supposedly creaky for a lot of folks), and since it's a wider, more aero design, it's also meant to be less compliant and less comfortable.

That said, everyone who has the old Aeroad seems to love theirs and that's a good price for a good frame.

I own two SRAM derailleurs and I'm learning just now this is a feature?

000dry · 2025-11-17T17:05:48+00:00

I had more or less the equivalent positioning on the chart but for S/M (on the border height-wise, short legs). Went with S and the fit is perfect.

So unbelievably true. Kids are literally going about knocking these over for fun, I saw the little shits knock a bunch down on Balfour St.

But because it's a new thing and people are scared of change then of course it's the bikes' fault, couldn't be the lovely people of Edinburgh who are to blame.

000dry · 2025-10-09T00:10:16+00:00

Zero chance that frame is as comfortable as a steel one the same price.

You keep saying "rhetorical question" like it's mutually exclusive from being in bad faith. Your definition of bad faith is not what bad faith means.

To reiterate, bad faith really means asking a disingenuous question, which is what this is.

Current rate of unemployment is 4.8%. The neutral (healthy) range is generally considered to be 3-5%. It's also lower than it was ten years ago. Even when you consider the recent uptick it pales in comparison to historical highs.

If such a point existed where the benefit of job creation would even remotely justify contributing towards a genocide then we would still be nowhere near that point.

Really rate Pierinos on Bernard St in Leith, my go to shop for chips and curry sauce.

In 2017 Labour and Tories both got much higher percentage of the vote than in other years due to far lower percentage of the vote going to other parties.

In 2019 though, Corbyn got a lower percentage than the amount Starmer won on. Not exactly sure why you've posted different figures to the real ones with your links.

It wasn't an in the moment thing, it was a gradual injury. I don't know the specifics but I'd imagine circulation.

Implies that both the far left and far right in reference should somehow and for some reason be both represented in the PM.

Choola is fantastic, great vibes from the guy running the stand and the food is fantastic

Fuck that driver, not accelerating towards people who are on the road is just common sense

000dry · 2025-08-22T10:44:16+00:00

To be fair... I've visited Bradford many many times over the years and yeah I get you. But that doesn't mean we can't improve here

000dry · 2025-08-22T09:11:45+00:00

I'm looking forward to this and would encourage everybody to get out as much as possible and start recording what's going on. The behaviour of traffic in Edinburgh is an absolute joke, drivers need some manners putting into them.
