I don't understand why people think a saddle bag is homo. My brother is always giving me **** about it mentioning some obscure rules of cycling. I am not talking about those things that you can fit a small chinese person inside, just big enough for a tjoop, tool, plugs and a mandela. On several occasions I have had to bail people out. I would rather be called a homo that to be stuck on the trail.

I sometimes find that I need to just get on the bike with no intention of going anywhere, and no way of tracking distance. Then just ride around and enjoy the scenery, play around with the bike. Try and wheelie, do stoppies, bunny hop over stuff like we used to do as kids. Not because you have to but because it is fun!

It's not something you will replace regularly so I would suggest spend a couple of bucks extra en get the slx

I would vote for pads. Try sanding them with fine sanding paper, if that does not help just get some proper resin pads they not that expensive. Also try to lube your pistons, if you take out the pads get some lube in there and then gently push back the pistons before replacing the pads.

As long as everyone is OK.

Hi Guys, I would like to join as well, whenever possible.

Hey Daniel, definitely interested. I use to go out on solo rides but finding it hard to keep motivated on my own. I stay in Olympus, very close to Faerie Glen, and my average speeds are very similar to yours.

First 70 km ever, gonna be awesome from the sound of the trail description.

Have alwyas revieved great service from you guys, hope it stays the same!
