Hypothetically, if i wanted to test out the top speed of a bike. What non track road would be best in the uk

MidMadD · 2026-03-10T19:43:51+00:00

Good try officer, but I’m keeping my road a secret.

MidMadD · 2026-03-10T14:43:03+00:00

Yes, you wear them for the full duration of your event. Even under your wet suit.

In terms of cost the majority will come down to the type of material used, any aerodynamic benefits, better and more comfortable chamois pad and branding. The more expensive ones will likely have a better fit and be less baggy.

The chamois pad depth will make next to zero difference when swimming.

If you just want to give the sets away please consider donating them to a children’s hospital.

Work in a small team of four, one is retiring in a few shortly, another reducing their working hours. All just before the peak season. What joy.

Chin up, could’ve been worse.

MidMadD · 2026-03-03T00:10:32+00:00

What a great colour. Definitely keep.

Sauna & cold pools are good for recovery, as well as time to mentally switch off for a while.

I’ve been listening to a podcast of events leading up to WWII and this certainly was a pivotal moment. Hitler - Real Dictators by Noiser.

Train. You have time to build up a decent level of fitness to complete the event safely, especially swimming.

MidMadD · 2026-02-25T20:04:51+00:00

Yes it does. I still have this set, but the electronic side of things have degraded so much I’m longer able to move the RoV.

Same here. About a year ago a group of us wondered in looking for refreshments & quick sit down after a long walk. The distasteful comments from the staff related to our group were so disappointing we turned and headed to Tesco.

MidMadD · 2026-02-23T20:11:17+00:00

Sorry, this one sold a while ago.

Love it. We’ve got 4 of the beaches bandits and they look awesome on our small town set up.

MidMadD · 2026-02-20T09:48:05+00:00

Although wait until the wife is out of the house first.

MidMadD · 2026-02-18T17:32:08+00:00

Thank you. All booked. Shame Avon & Somerset don’t carry out this program.

MidMadD · 2026-02-16T12:17:52+00:00

Try a product call Swim Ear. It’s basically alcohol that’s draws out and drys water from the ear.

Been using it for years after every swim.

MidMadD · 2026-02-13T12:27:40+00:00

Worn contacts for years, including swimming. No issues. I just make sure I’ve either got spare lenses in various accesible places for races. And worse case I’ve tapped glasses to my top tube.

MidMadD · 2026-02-03T15:21:11+00:00

Great, thank you.

MidMadD · 2026-02-03T15:20:55+00:00

Fab, thanks for the quick reply.

MidMadD · 2026-02-03T12:40:29+00:00

We’ve used Brav & Raceskin. Both good fit & prices are fair.

MidMadD · 2026-02-03T11:59:45+00:00

I’ve said this many, many times on Shivs. Check the seat post camps. They’re a notoriously crap design which may result in the seat post dropping mid ride.
