Hope your run on the hill reps was better than my run my bike.
I was going to nip over and show you how it was done but got a flat........
Unfortunatly I'm busy for a while now so it will have to wait for a bit.....0 -
Ordered myself a K-Edge grmin mount today, in red....hoping it'll fit the barmacs!
Then realised I didn't have garmin....so bought one of them too...just the 500 In black/silver, don't really need the mapping of the 800, which is why I sold it last year...
Not a bad afternoon shopping

Cycled 425 miles in 4 days for a children's charity last week, good opportunity for a couple of snaps of the bike
Dirty tyres :evil:
There are a few pictures of the whole cycle here:

In my dreams, yes.
In reality, I'm planning on buying an Allez in the fairly far/far future!

haha maybe a few times....dunno why there are some killer rides on here!!

very sweet0 -

all the other text on the bike is white, if you have red text on the wheels it works like another colourscheme, I'd say white also, matching the bartape
very nice bike, and I like the red frame"I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that"

Here is someone else who did it on L2P.
Personally I think it looked OK as part of that big event but for every sportive/weekend warrior rides - too much.

kept decals white for now....
chucked the stupidly heavy mavic skewers for some titanium and carbon items... and my allez suffered a snapped chain, so stole the venges one and bought it a new dura-ace one to replace.

You have bought both red and white.
No.
It cannot be so.0 -
the b*llocks that is. Defo White decals on the wheels. Red too much. (I made that mistake once) Loving that, looks wicked. Funny no matter how happy I am with my bike cant help seeing all these others and thinking hhhmmmmmm??????? Maybe I should? Looks a great ride well done. Where did you get the skewers and how much? I like them
Looks to me like you have a lot of laminate flooring to be getting on with?0 -
Tiles to lay! I'm no tiler however!
Skewers are from Planet X, a steal at £20! 0 -
-
just bought a pair of those skewers blimey cheap weight saving that is.0
-
Pretty amazing the difference in weight!0
-
Just be careful to tighten up properly.
I fitted KCNC ones to my Venge - they look very similar in construction to yours - and did normal tighten then flip motion of most QR skewers. Turns out with that shaped head you need to tighten more as I had rear wheel move in hanger position when coming down off Ranmore common. Loud groaning noise (imagine carbon rim braking but worse).
Store believe that it was tyre rubbing on chainstays as the wheel popped out of correct alignment.0 -
I like the red Cosmic decals, looks really cool!0
