Tim isn't the Fred Whitton this weekend?? Feeling fit? Hardknott apparently is the steepest bit of tarmac in Europe and the descent on the other side needs real attention. Good luck. Are you raising cash for a charity??

Thanks for the thoughts gents.I'll let you know how I get on.... Tim
Its a Bianchi frame with Ultegra on it and some Mavic summat wheels. http://www.slanecycles.co.uk/productdetail.aspx?id=1412&subid=373&catid=72 is a piccie of itThe not getting it wet thing is more to do with aesthetics and laziness than anything else TBH and..... I just haven't been riding that much. I have to say it goes like a fookin rocket though. I couldn't believe how fast and light it was, even compared to the carbon frame with bits of ultegra and Dura Ace I'd been riding. I'm off to Italy in a couple of weeks for a week of roadiness so am now very excited indeed
My wilier rear derailleur (campag) keeps slipping. When I put loads of pressure/ power through the pedal the chain slips into a smaller cog gear. It also does seem to shift properly when out on the road. When I change gear the chain does not run properly on the selected gear. At home in the garage it seems fine, and try as I might I can't fix it. Its really pissing me off. Any ideas - could it be the derailleur is bent or need replacement? The back cassette is new as is the chain (SRAM).Thanks for any suggestions.
is your chain compatible with your cassete.i know you said they are both new but if you hadn't i would have thought you were running a new chain on an old cassete.
as i said above thats like new chain/old cassette.have you bent your rear mech or have the springs in it gone.when you push it to one side does it spring back into postion.another thought have you got a stiff link in your chain,maybe where you joined it to gether.a stiff link will cause it to jump under pressure.
It may be worth just checking that the cassette lockring is tightened up sufficiently. Just a thought.
watch it evolve. some quality BMX and MTB parts added. stem by Flybikes, bars by Fireeye. wheels next. then...frame powdered and baked.
