Great piece of kit. 

What a brand.

 

First ride over 5 hours. Felt like silk.

Assos S9 Equipe RS.

Now THAT will make Everesting easy peasy if some on the Bikehub are to be believed  :ph34r: 

I have never thought I needed another gear - 50 is huge but on my very lightweight gravel type bike I wanted more speed on the slight downhills and 36 is the biggest chainring I can fit so the 9t might come in handy

 

That said, I rode in the 80s and thought I had all the gears I needed.  Nowadays I just use all the gears the industry throws at me as I get older and heavier

I use my dodgy knees as an excuse :ph34r:

Just arrived and keen to give this a try on my gravel bike where I can't put on anything bigger than a 36 up front

From where Waynemol?

Was keen to hop onto this then saw Evo was outv stock and then price hiked.

Still in need of a replacement cassette

Saturday had miserable weather so I decided to do some bike related retail therapy/DIY...

 

I rough thought, a hand sketch or 2 on the back of an old envelope... and about 5 trips to the hardware store...

 

The purchase...

 

  • builders plastic
  • loads of wood
  • half a dozen different wood screws
  • wood stain & varnish
  • and 2 bike racks...

 

This is the result so far...

The eyesore inside the "garage" (aka enclosed carport. it's a kiwi thing)

The brittle white plastic sheeting and cardboard installed by previous occupants had to go!

The new weather protection solution

A bit of basic timber support and panel.

Enough panel installed to put up the bike racks (Steadyrack swinging bike racks)

which means I can test them out on the bikes!

They lie nice and flat, so I can get my other 2 wheeled pony (not wall mountable) through the garage.

 

I'm a total novice when it comes to building/carpentry so I think it turned out ok considering. There's still lots to do. I plan to panel all the way down and across to cover the whole wall.

Been looking for a solution. Need something for 2 bikes and this looks like a winner.
