  1. The right tire choice for today, a cracker ride out πŸ˜ƒ A corner has certainly been turned 😎
  2. https://www.bicycling.com/news/a42221016/zwift-bans-digitally-doping-rider/ "We’ll see if he makes a triumphant return to Zwift in Mayβ€”or if he takes them up on their offer of reinstatement if he can prove in a lab setting that he can manage 8.5 watts per kilo for a solid four minutes."
  3. No, no, not today 😎 After half an hour of fighting with the tubeless on the front wheel, messing sealant everywhere it actually stayed up for the ride! A 'no chain' ride really πŸ‘€ - if you know you know ... take them whenever they come, it's not often!
  4. Got a little wet this morning ... I'm not really a coffee rider though πŸ€ͺ
  5. A photo in this case would help a lot ... it would depend very much where the chunk is out, how big it is and so on In my experience it has been 50/50 successful, if its on the braking surface or around the spoke area I would hang it on the wall as a decoration ... that's just my opinion though perhaps the carbon experts can shed more light A photo would definitely help though!
  6. As much as some may despise this kind of lifestyle bloody hell I'd do it in a heartbeat if it was an option!
  7. The weather has been rather atrocious so did my first PROPER indoor trainer ride today for a very long time putting in some effort ... 'dead tired' but happy 😊
  8. I can't keep up with the deliveries, apologies 😜
  9. I do use oval rings and have my own opinion of the benefits I have felt, be those perceived or real .... I am also aware that there are some strong opinions about them on this here forum and they are not all positive πŸ€ͺ
  10. My last 2c on this subject .... With a 1x whatever chainring you decide it'll be a compromise. Takes hat and coat ....
  11. Must be getting better ... beat all the commuters except one I couldn't drop. We stopped for a chat by the flooded Bridge, some crazy flooding on the Klipriver round Alberhoughton "Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient."
  12. To my knowledge boost 3mm, non boost 6mm ... then again no idea what '0mm' is for ... luckily there are cleverer okes on here than me that'll soon help om sure 😎
  13. Unless you're already super strong "gear for the hills" ... that's my viewpoint anyway
  14. There are some things we don't discuss in public .... more than 10 less than 20 😜 #EkSeMaarNet
  15. 'Trust the process' as the cool kids say 😎 #WhatABike
  16. My assumption in general when buying second hand goods on the hub, or just getting something sent because the person is just cool like that 😎, that it's not their job I.e. its not an online business or business of any other kind. Therefore they are busy with some kind of other job making their 'real' money and can't just rush off to the PUDO box at will .... I'd just wait a bit and if requested would probably pay a bit extra if asked Just me?
  17. ...you fix what you can fix and you let the rest go. If there ain't nothin to be done about it it aint even a problem. It's just an aggravation. Stress relief every. single.time
  18. Great idea, both recent incidents I've had my family were able to come straight to where I was! In one case I was able to call for help and in the second people were able to call my wife because of my IceID bracelet I do use Garmin LiveTracker .....
  19. The gravel roads are calling ... patience Paduwan 😎
  20. As I was told recently 'day or night ride with a light'
  21. As the saying goes 'gears are like testicles, more than one is a waste' Some form of normality is returning 😎 Celeste is Bianchi, Bianchi is Celeste, the two are indivisible
  22. The longer those stickers have been on the bike or your helmet the tougher they are to remove ... if they're still on best to get to them!
