Is anyone else signed up to the tour of Cambridge now in September?

Me as well

Ian says it gives no assistance once you are at 15mph. It doesn't restrict the bike to 15mph. I know this as we hit 47mph yesterday ☺

I maxed at 35 mph yesterday .... that was about fast enough for me lol

I did the 4th and final round of the British Cycling / British Masters Race Series this morning. There were reduced numbers due to the outside weather, but all the main players were there.

You can see from the below that I was trying quite hard. I also got my best 15 second sprint power on Zwiftpower.

Ended up third which is my best result for a long time.

Ian is a descender of note - and holds quite a few KOMs for big hill descents. He's also fallen off a few times

He's hit 100km/hr which I doubt I'll ever do.

I hit over 40mph for the first time in almost two years the other day and it was an absolute blast. Used to top that mark on a very regular basis, but I guess I'm just a little more wary nowadays, mainly following my accident while descending (this weekend 4 years ago in fact).

It's amazing how something like that can affect your confidence for so long; considering I wasn't actually going all that fast that day (hit a hidden pothole at about 25mph) and my injuries weren't actually all that bad in the end (broken collar bone and plenty of road rash). I had no problem at all in getting back on the bike, but did feel like crapping myself the first time the road went steeper than about -4%!

Your new one just showed up! Nice.

It's a bottom bracket. There was a plastic dust cover what was very tight to 24mm spindle and it was cracked. After that i was tested if 30mm spindle fit there but it was too big for that. Anyway i ordered new bottom bracket and sm-bbr60 tool so i can remove it.

@JuhaL
I bought this to replace an intermittent creak when I was climbing. It replaces the press fit and they offer every size. I did have to buy the special wrench.

I have a threaded bottom bracket, same kind of bb as a photo below. When i have a tool i can remove bottom bracket from the frame and install new one. Bottom bracket what is in a bike now is sm-bbr60 but it’s threaded as like Dura-ace bottom bracket below.

?? I put the GPX there but I don't see the ride itself. Do you see the ride traced?

That is way better. The "Wheels" bottom bracket is made to overcome the problem of the 2 sides not being tied together on the pressfit.

It has a little route map but I think you have to tell it to make the video. They changed after Stava dropped them to only using a phone app. My Wahoo links automatically still but I have to go to the app and tell it to create the video.

Ah, ok. Can't be bothered to use the app.

I mean log into the app after it has the GPX file then click on create a video. Not need when doing g the ride. It can use any GPX file
