Cois Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Update on the brake system. Works great. Nearly killed myself this morning. Forgot the power in the disk systems on MTB's Just feeling little nervous. Spotted the rain coming down outside. Should not pose a problem, but the people in their cars looses 20% brain power behind the wheel when it rains.
Cois Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I made a front mud guard and rear ass saver, works like a charm. need to pull them out again for the rainy season. I misplaced my front mud guards. searched for them last night, but could not find them. I have a rear guard, but the rear is not the problem. The front tyre is the problem.

J∆kk∆ls Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 The more I ride the more I want to ride. That I need a bike just for commuting. That my car is (was as I sold it) a giant paper weight and one car is more than enough in a house hold. My legs are bigger and stronger than they have ever been. That most motorists are slaves caught in a systematic hell called traffic. -If a motorist drives dangerously and you have the opportunity to point it out to them. Do so politely. -If this still angers them simply say 'Oh forgive me lord I didn't know it was you' smile and ride on. If you smile at people it will disarm them 99% of the time. Lastly everyday is a good day to commute. (Weather)-Wind will make you stronger and teach a thing about balance and control.-Rain will teach you how to brake efficiently. I have only been commuting for 3 years now so Im sure I have more to learn. Cois, Bateleur1, Warren_G and 4 others 7

mudda Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Commuting for two years and not servicing your headset lets to strange steering behavior ...
Cois Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Chickened out this morning. Took the GS to work. Was no fun at all. Miss my bike! J∆kk∆ls 1
Cois Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 WOW huge storm in PTA. Sort of glad I did not take the bicycle, but know that traffic is going to suck big time...
Warren_G Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Got a proper lashing on Friday's commute home, you wouldn't think it's November and I'm in Cape Townhttp://41.media.tumblr.com/15967a9a8cff9a5852fc228b7321cb25/tumblr_mq2nxtfgFM1qj26eao1_500.jpg Edited November 18, 2014 by Warren_G nathrix and SimpleDom 2

SimpleDom Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Sometimes you just find a rhythm on the way home, and a chilled "recovery commute" breaks a bunch of pb's. On those days, it all feels like zero effort, all reward. Warren_G 1
