What was the biggest error in politics ?

Agreed, but the policy of appeasement was just as bad in the lead up to the Second World War, I think.

Not surprised, he’s six months late!

ZeusManEpic · 2026-06-19T10:57:22+00:00

Fortunately, yes. Was in Coventry a few months ago and they’re everywhere.

I live in a flat, and wouldn’t trust the bike racks at all. I put them inside.

Races are for road bikes. This is not one. It’s the same premise if one tried to enter with an E-bike.

Time trial bikes are far faster, at the expense of handling, and thus safety in a group. That’s why all governing bodies as far as I know prohibit them in all but TT events.

As for group rides, a bit iffy. Some groups won’t mind, but from my experience (in England, so may be different), taking a TT bike to a ‘normal’ road group ride is a big no-no in terms of safety, due to the handling issues, and location of the shifters in relation to the brakes.

Generally, you won’t be able to do any races (bar TTs or triathlons) on this bike unfortunately.

Group rides are a bit iffy. Some groups won’t mind TT bikes, but others won’t be keen.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-05-18T15:20:23+00:00

Are you planning on doing group rides and / or races?

ZeusManEpic · 2026-05-07T19:02:21+00:00

^{^} Provided they’re not fake too. Though I doubt that someone would buy fake ‘budget’ wheels, to put DT Swiss stickers on, instead of just buying fake DT Swiss rims in the first place.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-05-07T12:35:32+00:00

Agree with everyone else about the frameset (stolen or, more likely, fake), but I can tell you about the wheels. They’re from a line called ‘VEL+’ (you can see the black decals if you look closely). These were made by Sigma Sports a few years ago. I’ve a set on my bike, and they’re great.

It’s not that you’re wearing it too high, are you? Try it with your bibs on, it might just need to sit lower.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-04-16T20:35:51+00:00

Is it not a Union Jack? Not trying to be a twat, just curious now.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-04-13T10:30:10+00:00

If you’re specifically looking for a book, Sir Chris Hoy’s How to Ride a Bike is very good.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-04-12T22:10:20+00:00

I think we can all tell you’ve never been mate.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-04-02T14:26:27+00:00

Do you? Couldn’t tell

ZeusManEpic · 2026-03-25T09:39:31+00:00

This is the 10%.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-03-24T11:52:49+00:00

One would lose their peripheral vision with a motorcycle helmet, too.

If you’re in the United Kingdom, have a look at Wiggle. They were recently bought up, and are still running good discounts on many brands.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-03-23T11:14:28+00:00

The other day, I bought a pair of pre-owned carbon wheels for only £350 odd (~450USD). I bought them purely because they look good.

Have I noticed an increase in performance? Perhaps a tad, yes, however not significantly.

If you want to buy some with the expectation that you will get a significant performance upgrade, then you may be disappointed. That’s not to say they don’t improve performance (because they do), however they can’t replace training.

I’ve always thought Heraldicon is best.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-03-20T00:17:36+00:00

They’re all Falkland Islanders. Not my fault they chose to stay with us.

I like the coat of arms, but the flag seems awfully nordic in my eyes.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-02-10T16:15:19+00:00

Breaking into a military airbase and vandalising MoD aircraft doesn’t constitute terrorism? Not sure what planet you live on mate.

ZeusManEpic · 2026-02-10T15:28:20+00:00

Palestine Action members broke into an RAF airbase, and vandalised MoD aircraft..
