    Just wondering if anyone has ever ground/cut/removed a cable guide from an aluminum frame? I've found a few threads on various forums discussing it, commonly on steel for folk restoring old frames as fixies. Just wondering if anyone here's done it on alloy. About to strip and repaint a frame...

    Just wondering if people could share their thoughts on what a good camping setup is for a 24 hour race? I'm entering my first one this year in a team of 4, and we don't really know whether you're sposed to bring something big enough to store/fix your bikes in (like a marquee)? Or just...
