There might be another quiz from the Wattsmeister.

'Rollers' - av a go!
A chance to try it out and sell in the Monday sessions? And maybe Chappers can do his rollers inner tube trick??
Is there going to be a second running of the bike race?

Come along on to the club night for a chance to discuss CC Ashwells potential role in a new cycle racing series in 2015....
An opportunity has been presented to CC Ashwell to support one of a new series of road racing events in Hertfordshire in the summer of 2015. From the info that has been shared with us this seems ike a great opportunity with lots of support from across key parties such as the British Cycling, County Council, Police and commercial sponsors. Our experience of organising and supporting race and go ride events could really bring something to the event. I'm really keen to share as much as I can but unfortunately we have been asked to keep the specifics of the events, dates, locations etc confidential at this stage. We will be able to reveal a lot more detail at the club night on 6th Jan.
As yet we haven't formalised any role for the club in the event. We have held this off until there was a chance to canvass opinion and support from the broader club membership. As with all things in life our involvement wouldn't be for "free" and I am in the process of fact finding from the various parties involved so we can bring a full picture of the opportunity and commitments required from us if we support the event.
So come along to the club night for the Grand Reveal and your chance to commit your support or at least share your opinions and ideas (which I'm sure knowing a lot of you will be abundant and enthusiastically imparted! ;-)
Happy Christmas
Jamie
Full lights front and rear, obviously.
Pearce, i would be up for a smash it session but dont think the weather is going to be kind :-(
Scroll back up this thread to read all about what will be covered in this very informal gathering at There Tuns' backroom, not least the amazing new opportunity for the Club to become involved in a new annual road racing series and cycling event.
Lots more besides. Maynard Masterclass might see a bottom bracket replacement demonstration as well as chain repair tips. Fingers crossed: as it's my bottom bracket that needs replacing.
The fun starts from about 8pm. Se you Tuesday.
Unless someone else wants to step in with their chain or bottom bracket hints and tips..?
There's plenty else to talk about though. See you tomoz.

2m 42 is a pretty impressive time - not sure anybody will get close to it !
I remember pro-mechanics doing this during the Milk Race/Tour of Britain when clincher tyres started to be a race alternative to tubulars. I suspect you may be surprised at just how fast they were at their version of the competition, but they didn't have slower mini pumps then and there was less of a tyre and rim combination to combat.
This mini pump...
This tyre/wheel...
Or at least, it feels like this tyre/wheel when everyone is staring, tutting and wincing...
You don't have to use the levers. But the challenge tyre is distinctly oldskool and quite a brute. I think it would give even Brother Lee Love from the Kenny Everett Show a bit of a problem. We'd love to see you have a go Geoff, next time you're down. Next pub nite... Tues 3rd Feb.
