Colnago C40 HpMy periodic interest in road biking has been reawakened. A nice ride out with a road biker on a glorious Bank Holiday Monday, coupled with a job move where there is a Cycle to Work scheme, finally understanding how Cycle to Work operates and why it makes buying new possible. In addition friends have just done a coast to coast, and this feels like a nice thing to do for the next 20 years as I edge into my late 40’s. ![]() And lastly around half of our MTB group road bike as well, and I’m missing out on rides sometimes. So- criteria 1. Most rides will be 2/3 hour spins around the Pennine Countryside. Ideally I’d like to be able to put a pannier on to do odd longer rides over a few days. But these will be secondary to the main “exploring the local area” aim. I will only ever buy one bike. It will be c£1000. Colnago C40 Carbon Gold Ltd Edition Dash And AlbertIt needs to be a do it all bike. I’m not very good with speed. I have no interest in bombing down a hill. I think I’d like disc brakes for the added security. I’m not fantastic on a MTB. The idea of a non suspension twitchy road bike makes me a little nervous. I’ve even thought about flat bars, but think i’ll probably get used to drops. The stupid bit. I really like the idea of a Planet X Pro Carbon. I know there are issues with panniers/brakes/customer service, but I will never own a Carbon Mountain Bike. If 95% of my riding is suitable for that sort of machine is that a really stupid idea? The sensible option is almost certainly a Planet X London Road or similar. A commuter/do it all bike that’s really sensible and good value. There are similar I think from Ribble, and Pauls bike’s. Loads of us have been in this position- tempted by a road bike. So, what did you do- and how did it work out? I bought first road bike when i moved to Norfolk and realised that decent MTB riding was going to be a drive away and that on a road bike here i could ride for hours on back roads and see little traffic. Some great road bikes in that price range, Giant Defy, Specialized Roubaix, Cube or similar from Pauls. You can ride fine in MTB shoes and SPD’s at first, but just make sure bike is set up well for you. Bmw e34 window motor replacement. With a 10mm spanner loosen the window trim bolt so as to remove it with your fingers. Then unplug the regulator motor (Grey two pin plug). Road biking is a very different position to MTB and you’re in the position longer, so be comfortable is a big thing. What about one of the new generation of “gravel/ adventure” bikes, good on our more pot-holded roads tend to have less “racey” position and you can do what i do and mostly ride routes that are part road, part bridleways, part canal? PX pro carbon is fine. It flexes, but then so do steel frames – it basically feels a bit stiffer and a lot lighter than a lightweight steel road bike. Then again is it for you? You won’t get guards or panniers on, and I don’t think (see flex above) that I’d put a seatpost mounted rack on mine even if I didn’t have a bike with a proper rack. You will be able to go fast on local roads though. Wheels are cheap, I’m not sure about hub spares, would be my main problem with it. But that’s probably going to be the case with most bikes at that price point. You don’t want to spend the chunk of cash it would take at that price point on disc brakes for a road bike, it’s going to knock the rest of the stuff down a peg or two and only makes any difference in the wet. Worst case you get cheap discs that are no better and in some ways worse than the good rim brakes you’d otherwise get. Panniers are not really necessary due to bikepacking bag options. I would only use them if I wanted to transport clothes without crumpling them or something like a laptop. Disk brakes are ok but at your budget you will likely be getting cable disks rather than hydraulic Mudguards are a good thing for 65% of the year I got an aluminium Cannondale Synapse Disc 105 on Bike to Work a few years ago. Really comfortable and I would rather have the better groupset than carbon frame. Only disappointment was the Promax Render cable discs which I have replaced with TRP Spyres (£70 a pair off ebay). Don’t get a flat bar – I have seen numerous people do this and regret it after a few months. Drops are easy to get on with after an initial adjustment period. I would also not buy a gravel bike. They are fashionable at the moment but I think the extra weight and (general) lower spec for the money do not compensate for the supposed extra flexibility. Normal road bikes can handle unpaved paths ok as long as the are not too rough (and if they were you would be on your MTB). Mountain bike style clipless pedals are fine and allow you to walk properly. I would go for a “sportive” geometry bike like the Synapse or Giant Contend. More recent models tend to have low gearing (11-32 or 11-34) which will be useful on hills if you are carrying a few pounds. I regularly do 200km audax rides on may Synapse and it has not let me down (apart from the replaced brakes). I really enjoy road biking and audaxing has opened up lots of challenges and made me get to know the roads around me a lot better – very sociable too.

Euros childs situation comedy download sites. I would at something in the gravel / CX / adventure style rather than a head down, bum up racer stylee – enough clearances for 30mm plus tyres and guards plus a rear rack mounts – they all come with discs these days. Agree on drop bars, riding any distance with a flat bar on roads etc is a pain due to limited hand positions and not being able to tuck down into headwinds etc. Nothing wrong with cable discs if set up properly with decent cables, they are very reliable, easy to adjust and virtually no maintenance apart from twisting the adjuster knobs. I use SPD and MTB shoes for all my touring / offroad only having road pedals and shoes on the ‘fast’ road bike. I’ve happily hucked a CX bike down red and black MTB trails – you just face a different level of commitment. Not sure I’d want to chuck a gravel bike around black trails, but I am a wuss. If I was the original poster I’d probably go for a Trek Domane ALR, see if there is a 2017 model available. I had the disc brake version for a few years and it was a very capable bike. I’d only go hydraulic discs as well. The Domane can take 35c tyres (G-One) and I’ve used mine a lot with 33c Bontrager Cross Tyres. The G-Ones were absolutely fine on road as well, I’d use them for decent pace club rides as well as light off-road adventures. (Done the CX Sportive Gold Rush event and also the South Downs Way on it). I’d echo much of the advice already: – gravel-type bike would be great, bit more relaxed geo, quite capable on or off-road, likely to have wider flared drops – disc brakes not necessary for confidence, especially if you aren’t hooning down hills (in fact, I’ve had disc brake fade going down Puig Major on Mallorca, which is far more scary) – rack mounts not really necessary with bar / frame bags I’d recommend what I own and suggest picking up a cheap GT Grade somewhere. At least you’re not doing what I did and dive straight into the deep end with a Litespeed then a Colnago C40. Still love riding on the road so it was worth it! In STW ” recommend what you have” fashion, Cube Attain GTC Pro Disc, if you can find one of the 2017 models on sale in your size for ~£1070 If 32mm real world tyre widths are wide enough and panniers aren’t necessary. Had my 2016 model just over a year, it’s the best road bike I’ve ever had, previous nice bikes being a 2006 Felt F5C and 1997(?) Principia RSL. Stock spec is ~9Kg, but can be ~8.5Kg by replacing the ~1900g wheels plus the non-premium tyres/tubes. I ride a 58cm, I’m 5’10” with short ~32″ cycling inseam legs. I have a super lightweight carbon canyon with aero wheels and a caadx x that I got on bike to work that I use with a set of slightly lighter than stock wheels and road tyres when weather isn’t great.
