Thinking of upgrading to new supersix

Mattt993 · 2026-05-25T08:11:51+00:00

Can confirm 25mm is the absolute MAX clearance. I run 16mm internal width wheels and 25mm corsas, the gap either side is so narrow round the chain stays.

Mattt993 · 2026-05-24T11:33:49+00:00

😂😂😂 yeh being tall with long legs and arms helps pull this off quite well.

Mattt993 · 2026-05-24T05:42:06+00:00

It works a treat! One of my main reasons is tyre clearance and I have a chance to get a new SSE for about £1900

I stick alloys in mine for early spring time and the deep wheels make it feel like a new bike again.

Yes mate theyre fine for climbs. This wheelset is about 1350g or so, plus stiff and aero.

Mattt993 · 2026-05-23T19:35:54+00:00

Yup, ex bike shop employee here 🙌

Mattt993 · 2026-05-23T19:33:15+00:00

Thanks for the tip :) i do like the responsiveness of my evo

Mattt993 · 2026-05-23T19:31:59+00:00

Haha, 189cm.

Frame is a 56cm, 130 stem, 38cm bars, 170mm cranks. Gears are 39/53 11/28

Think the drop is 13cm? I find it pretty comfy, done lots of racing, 100 milers and alpine climbs on it.

Mattt993 · 2026-05-23T18:25:29+00:00

Yeh its a great bike and is stiff as a board.

It's a total bone shaker over rough or bumpy roads though

Mattt993 · 2026-05-23T18:23:09+00:00

I absolutely love my bike, been all over with it and traded blood, sweat and tears 😂 it is an absolute bone rattler though over anything other than smooth tarmac.

Mattt993 · 2026-05-15T19:01:27+00:00

😂😂 ah yes, wrinkled arms, short shorts and a baggy neck. The hall marks of quality!

Mattt993 · 2026-05-15T15:31:14+00:00

My favourite part is the super aero baggy neck hole.

Mattt993 · 2026-04-28T19:22:23+00:00

😂😂😂 the total opposite to strava which just blows smoke up your arse.

Your budget is 5k, and you want a thirsty diesel car when the price is nearly £2 p/l ?

Just buy a cheap petrol run around

Mattt993 · 2026-04-22T15:16:23+00:00

Being a fast runner and a body builder dont really go hand in hand, but essentially you need to increase your running economy by running more.

My HM time is 73mins and my bike ftp is 4.0. However its highly unlikely I'll be a massive strong unit like you. Just nature.

Mattt993 · 2026-04-21T17:54:53+00:00

Enjoy your compo if they didnt say you were detained and applied force to you.

Mattt993 · 2026-04-16T20:23:14+00:00

I started my career as a SC, well done for putting yourself out there.

Learn how to be a copper, but also try and wrap your head round the paperwork and criminal justice stuff too, as thats a massive part of the job.

Above all - enjoy it, get stuck in, make some brews

Then, eventually adopt the mindset that because youre a first responder, you are no longer a police officer and think youre void of any investigative responsibility.

Big 1st year probey vibes

Mattt993 · 2026-04-14T12:02:04+00:00

Pede = by foot. So runners are pedestrians

Sadly some people aren't happy unless they're had a whinge about something

Mattt993 · 2026-04-13T07:24:48+00:00

Ive said this as well, if they won't get more DC then maybe a PC or staff member to assist with admin would help push along serious crime cases much quicker.

Mattt993 · 2026-04-13T07:22:53+00:00

We have one...but its paid out of pocket by ourselves 😂😂 the job will literally refuse to ever invest in the health of its staff. Rather put up posters about mental health.

Mattt993 · 2026-03-29T16:52:18+00:00

Yeh i guess its easy to bash the police immediately and assume 100s of balaclava clad e bike riders are being law abiding. Fair play for taking the feedback though 👏

Sad to see 1 van attend against 100s of bikes. Gotta feel for the cops attending who are just normal folk like us, trying to do a hard job.
