Anyone got any mudguard recommendations? Got a sopping wet arse on the way back from work yesterday morning. No mudguards at all on my mountain bike.

Thought about getting an 'ass saver' but not sure if they are any good - Might actually make one this afternoon!

Get some lightweight waterproofs,much better option all round.

Just got home with one of Chris Hoy's finest, rather pleased:



Just re-fitted the front wheel after putting it in the back of my car, and the disc has lost alignment slightly. Anyone know how I can re-adjust it? The clamping mechanism seems to have 2 screws on the back....?

You mean the pads are rubbing on the disc? The pads will just need spacing again. The disc stays in a fixed position.

Next time you take the wheel out, put a spacer between the pads. You usually get one with disc brakes, if not then cardboard or similar will do.

Loosen the caliber bolts. Pull the brake and keep pulled. Tighten the bolts.

What a shambles that opening stage was, no bugger knew where the finish was until the final few minutes.

Tony Martin looked in a right state when he climbed on the bus after the first stage finished. A shame about that crash. I would have loved to watch a sprint between Cav, Griepel, Sagan and Kittel. Fair play to Marcel though, taking advantage and bagging the Yellow Jersey.

Amazingly nobody was forced out after that shunt....yesterday, some twat let their dog loose just in front of a charging peloton, luckily the dog just about got out the way by millimetres, had it not I dread to think of the carnage.

Aye, watching that in the background had my sphincter twitching. Should have set Jens Voigt on the owner.

I caught the end of the stage and saw the dog nearly get it too. Also the silly spectator that nearly got flattened by Sagan.

Martin copped it pretty bad in that crash. Read somewhere that he had bad bruising pretty much everywhere on his body and tore down to the muscle on his elbow. Was surprised he made it onto the bike and finished yesterday.

Doesn't look like OPQS have the team to deliver Cav over the hilly stuff at the moment, so it'll be interesting to see how he does today.
