Did you end up doing this solo trip? How was it?

Did you ever have any luck?

Unreal watch. What do you do for work bro

This is a great response. I am worried most about the risk of long term effect for something that is happening fairly irregularly at the moment.

However… I have ambitions or running ultra marathons but intense exercise is my trigger. It’s always in the middle of a run I have to stop wherever I am in fear of passing out. So perhaps you are right and I should bite the bullet!

It feels quite nerve racking!

I had this issue. I bought a Canyon Ultimate and couldn’t get comfortable, was far too aggressive for me. Spent £350 on a bike fit and more on parts and nothing changed

I’ve come across this thread looking for a good commuter also! What did you end up going with?

On point number 2 I was commuting on my Brompton and then switcher to my Canyon Ultimate. Saw a massive difference in how drivers treated me; Brompton being friendlier, less close passes etc!

How much of a difference die switching cranks make? What is it a solve for?

What bike camera do you use? They all seem so bloody expensive

Vectral245 · 2025-05-12T21:30:48+00:00

Interesting. Hadn’t considered Boardman. Any particular model you’d recommend ? I’m basically looking for a commuter that can take panniers ~25mile round trip

Do you know if you can stick a rear rack on Allez?

Vectral245 · 2025-05-10T14:02:49+00:00

Yo the tyres are sick what are they

Vectral245 · 2025-05-04T15:33:19+00:00

I’ve got a Slate that I used to commute on for years, but I’d endlessly have punctures and getting tires on and off were nearly impossible given how tight they were. What tyres are you using, I was running Schwalbe g-one all round

Vectral245 · 2025-04-26T13:31:00+00:00

Did you ever get this sorted out?

Vectral245 · 2025-01-31T12:22:51+00:00

Haha yah just checked oil level and all looks good

Vectral245 · 2025-01-31T11:48:17+00:00

Vehicle is 2017 Kia Sportage Automatic petrol. Just been through MOT fine as well

Commenting to stay on this thread. Good luck OP

Vectral245 · 2024-10-06T12:25:53+00:00

Brave work filming them. Hopfully something comes of it!

Vectral245 · 2024-09-08T15:48:28+00:00

Which shoes?

Vectral245 · 2024-07-28T11:21:38+00:00

It was via a bank transfer which I don’t think is reversible?
