Originally posted by MarkJerling There's some great wisdom in those rules. I've absorbed many of them over the years. #30 - I was converted to CO2 canisters many years ago, but there's a limit to the number you can carry. If I ever get fit enough again to go for a long ride, I'll need to attach a frame pump.
I need one of those Campagnolo heads.
I've been pretty good with #8. I had yellow Scapin branded bar tape to match the yellow on the Scapin frame, the top of the Woundup fork, and the yellow saddle. When I couldn't get the yellow tape, I was able to source black, Scapin branded bar tape to match the black parts of the frame. I mostly used Michelin Pro4 with a yellow stripe.
I've inadvertently broken a few. I wear short socks. I have taken shots of my bike with the cranks at 90 and 180 degrees. I have been using a saddle bag. I used to use a bidon cage gear carrier, but I needed the second bidon for long rides. Melbourne is low humidity and it can be hot. I have used over-sized bidons for long rides, but they were Campagnolo bidons, so I think I get a pass. I have upgraded to
Campagnolo Super Record Water Bottle & Cage Set | ProBikeKit Australia, so I'm ticking a few more boxes.
I have just bought a medium-cage Record rear derailleur that can handle bigger cogs than my current Record short-cage model. It's a concession to old age. The new rear derailleur, like everything from Campagnolo, is a thing of beauty. Lovely, glossy carbon fibre mixed with titanium. Yum.

#90. have never been able to climb hills on the big ring. The closest I've come is riding around most of the Kew section of the Yarra Blvd (Melbourne) in the big ring. I'm better at riding downhill. Johan Museeuw was brilliant.
