I clocked my 10 mile PB 😀 As soon as the race details are finalised I'll add it to the Fetch race database. Come up to the track and do the 5k and you can get a feel for it.
richmac Jan 2016 12:47pm, 21 Jan 2016 9,511 posts	0 richmac So a question. If you could have ONE of the following upgrades which would you have? A) Carbon bars B) Carbon seat post C) Ultegra calipers D) Carbon stem Bear in mind I'll probably spend the money on beer anyway

Dai Bank Jan 2016 3:11pm, 21 Jan 2016 4,380 posts	0 Dai Bank Yeah I'm with Bee on this, the rest are just window dressing
richmac Jan 2016 10:11pm, 21 Jan 2016 9,513 posts	0 richmac Gotta say I'm leaning that way. Lighter and better. Rest will come, lightness is the key!

stuart little Jan 2016 10:47pm, 21 Jan 2016 1,025 posts	0 stuart little But what if you do both
eL Bee! Jan 2016 10:55pm, 21 Jan 2016 20,039 posts	0 eL Bee! You'll be poor! And won't be able to afford stuff that actually helps
cathrobinson Jan 2016 11:09pm, 21 Jan 2016 3,696 posts	0 cathrobinson Carbon bars and seatpost can help with comfort though as carbon is a bit more forgiving than aluminium- it's not just about weight
