Jewbacca Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 sure it helps when descending Alpe Du Zwift at +80kph It actually suck as I tend to play/fiddle with the levers while in the drops and inevitable land up clamping the rear pads together so I need to push them apart and reset the rear brake when It comes off the trainer. I had one of those plastic spacer things but it fell out and the dog chewed it, so it's back to trying my best not to fidget... sigh eddy, Long Wheel Base and T_Boss 3

That being said, our trainer bike is so married to the trainer it has no brakes on it at all. Handlebars have a map board for the mouse and food and 1 shifter for the 1x11(with road cassette). It feels weird not having brake levers on the bars. Jewbacca, slickjay007 and Long Wheel Base 3

I should just learn not to fiddle Edited January 7, 2021 by Jewbacca eddy 1

porqui Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Just be aware that a large number of surfers and kite surfers have received hefty finesalready on the peninsula. So be prepared.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Best to work through all the flavors to see which works best, just in case.That is going to cost a fortune. The kids wanted ice creams a few weekends ago while out shopping so I got 1 for each of us, that's 5. I was shocked when I had to pay for them. Then the kids didn't even finish them so the wife and I had to hoover these melting magnums.

The Ouzo Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 at the price of those things chucking them away is NOT an option Long Wheel Base and Zebra 2
Frosty Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I’ll gladly eat the Magnums for you, and give you the sticks afterwards; that’s if you’re worried about breaking your new year resolution (diet). #justsaying
ChrisF Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 5am ... Untill 15 February we remain at level 3, but we can get out at 5am .... Grease_Monkey, Pure Savage, Rowl and 1 other 4
Grease_Monkey Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I think Cyril follows me on Strava... All we had to do was ask nicely Veebee, Prince Albert Cycles and Pure Savage 3
