Racing season started weekend just gone. Just about managed to stay on the bike given the incredibly strong wind. I've never been so scared!

Very nice, although you'll probably know that your choice of wheel wasn't the best for windy conditions, especially the front.

Long time since I was getting up early for doing TT's, but I loved it

Is that a single speed front Mav? I do love the differences in technology in the two pictures.

I've got the doctors this evening about my chest again. Let's see what they come up with tonight. I just want to get back to being able to breath properly, I feel worse now than when I used to smoke...

I see a derailleur and thumbies on the the end of the aero bars....

Mikes right, although I did have a 48 tooth inner chainring, so it looks like a single speed set up, never used it mind

carelesschucca · 10-03-17, 11:51 AM

I must be blind I still can't see the derailleur. FFS!!

Its obscured mate, my toe is hiding the clamp, but you can see the down tube shiftier that I used to change from the small to big ring, ala ONCE set up of the 90's

I love a deep front wheel but sadly it cost me dearly this time.

This is a rare shot of me using my Zipp wheels, normally I'd have been using my 18 spoke Pete Matthews wheels, which never gave any issues in crosswinds. Deep section wheels were only starting to appear on the scene in the 90's, most top riders including Chris Boardman used a disc rear with a low spoke count front

Another thanks go out to Maviczap. Got my British Cycling Membership cheap because of him...
