Finally managing to get the good bike into the LBS to get looked at this weekend, the Di2 rear mech is still playing up, I think it’s time to let them look at it as I want to be out on the roads on Sunday. You do know the rule about whining about red dots don't you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Nice steady ride round the bridges today on the road bike. 46 miles 17.8mph average . More than the usual number of knobhead drivers out seething at being delayed for a few seconds and the obligatory “ you c***s should be riding in single file “ yells from the usual fatties Hilarious Edited March 11, 2018 by Unleash The Nade 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Anyone got any tips for putting Gatorskin tyres back on the wheel?

broon-loon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bit the bullet and took the older road bike to work today. Had to stop twice within a mile or so to tiptoe through the mud that has been washed off the fields. The joys of rural cycling.. Anyway, far from speedy but at least some calories were burned aff the beer belly.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even saw a private hire cab speed up to go through a set of lights a good couple of seconds after they had gone red on Lothian Road earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 No updates here for over 2 weeks? I cycled Kilmarnock to Darvel and back today, a 20 mile loop. My bike (Boardman Road Comp 14) finally broke down a couple of weeks ago and I invested in a new set of wheels as my rear hub had failed. Got a set of Mavic Aksium Elites which are as low budget as you can get but an improvement on what I had. I can feel a noticeable positive difference with them although I got my chain and console done too so its probably just all feeling better in general. They are also all black and I got some black tape for the handlebars, changed from white, so it kind of looks and feels like a new bike. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
