Ian Rawley replied to Shav (shavanel) Bird's discussion what maintenance to bike after a wet ride?
"True Rog but my mate in the UK always used to turn his bike upside down for the same reason...until his head bearings failed! You just can't win sometimes. If you ride a lot on the rain a rubber seal around the head bearings and another on…"

Ian Rawley replied to Vujos Ostojic's discussion Breaking in new wheels
"Yep no different to old wheels, just keep your eye on spoke tension / rim truth and adjust as required. My new Dura Ace 7850 C24's have not been touched in 10,000 from new but they would have been if they needed it!"

"Great post, counter steering is the way, push left, go left, push right, go right. You can feel this for yourself by removing your front wheel, holding both ends of the spindle with wheel vertical and getting someone to spin the wheel for you - now…"

Baron Von Thierry replied to Ian Rawley's discussion Going around the Bend...and not falling off
"Another thing you learn when doing crits, is how fast you can corner and keep peddling before scraping a pedal...  particularly useful in the finishing laps! In this case you'll be trying to keep the bike as upright as possible."

Don (Who's lost?) Nairn replied to Ian Rawley's discussion Going around the Bend...and not falling off
"Descending is something that many people enjoy but if it goes wrong can get ugly very quickly. Road bikes with their narrow tyres can be very unforgiving if things go wrong."
