Bikefit today. Either the guy is a genius, or he's a snakeoil salesman. Will see what the next few weeks bring, backwise.

Pork chop, chips, and beans for dinner
The Maris Pipers from Sainsbury's Local are from Essex; and a very fine chip they make
The chops were M&S thick-cut ones from the freezer. Normally you can cut between them and leave one frozen in its shrink wrap, but these two were so mighty that they were squashed against each other on the tray, so I had to defrost and cook them both. But I managed to resist the temptation to eat them both, too

Quote from a 1990s documentary about the building of the Jubilee Line extension, on iPlayer: "It's a technique called NATM, which stands for the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. It's neither new nor Austrian; but that's what it's called."

The high tech ones tend to use the Reutul system that uses markers on joints etc to measure your movements and position on the bike.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostBikefit today.
