Where has your bike taken you today?

To the workshop stand ....

 

It has become a habit to give all my bikes a full service at the start of the year ... making sure everything is sorted for the World Champs season.

 

. Gravel bike .... servicing a one year old is always easy .... more of a deep clean 

 

 

. Hardtail ... This is my Argus bike, so needs to be tip top shape ... I bought it as a demo and have done 11 000 km in 5 years on it.  The steerer bearings is noisy, I could not get spares last year ... chain on that cusp of early replacement .... wheel bearings cleaned and repacked.  Brake pads about 1,5mm, okay, but dont want it to catch me off guard the night before a race .... brake discs, ooooops !! Below the Shimano minimum .... brakes works fine, but there IS a reason for the minimum disc thickness !

 

 

I have had brakes overheat, then just loose all braking on a steep downhill ... nasty off and a few hours in the medic tent .... weeks later it was traced back to discs that were worn below the minimum thickness.

 

. Full suss .... not too much I can do .... from the suspension to the sealed bearings are all done by Mark.

 

Yes, sealant clean and top up for all.

A very well sorted garage you have there; nice organization!

The brick road climb at Helderberg, not easy on an enduro bike.

I walk this frequently... and feel no shame! But sometimes I pretend to take photos.

Road closed to vehicles but not madmen on 2 wheels...

Nice ride in - W-E-T, obviously; small front mudguard helped somewhat - a fair bit of standing water through commercial harbour, and a Camps Bay driver apologized properly for NOT checking before he flung open his door - luckily i saw him getting READY to open it - I really think he got a shock!

A wet day commuting is still better than ANY car journey!

For it to be a lifetime activity you have to love the doing and not just the achieving!

Having said that you can't improve what you don't measure 🤪 - man I just love the gadgets and numbers 😎

Keeping the old man out, body and mind 😁

The garden birds are a little bigger here on the west coast... 😀
