Re the bold bit, unless you upgrade to Di2 (wongalicious kit it is too), you will have gear change problems under load. Ease off the pedals slightly if changing when ascending, it helps to smooth it out.
I did see an ultegra di2 kitted verenti for £1100 just into 2014... |

And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.

Just about a week into the Vuelta....been stonking hot, which has fucked a goodly number of riders, and now starting to take shape....GC should be close between a number of the usual suspects....Froome, Quintana, Valverde, Contador, Purito, possibly Aru. Degenkolb looks odds on for green, and plenty of chances for breakaways, like today's win for Cannondale domestique di Marchi.
Chris Froome fell off again today, his looking down and not where he is going is increasingly looking like a major obstacle to success.

Just going through the Wiggle Sale stuff and if you use them they have Shimano SPD cleats for 10.99 (normally about 18-19 quid), will be ordering a couple of sets as I do seem to go through them.

Yes.
But be warned that segment times are the work of the devil. Must improve...must improve.. |

the segment through witchelstowe is considered dangerous, so you have to agree to the "i know chasing KOM's is silly" before you can see the leaderboard

Wouldn't it be better to rack the car on the bike?
