Post your mtb SS

[Pieter1]

Also have flats lying around in my garage. Maybe I should give them a go. Let me know how it works out

So I went for my first ride in a while and they were not to bad. I did not suffer on climbs as much as I thought. However my jumping, off dropping and bunny hopping skills suck so the usuall fun factor was not there. I reccon I'm going to put the spds back on only because I can't drop cash on five tens now. The skate shoes caused my front of my feet to go numb and it was not verry comphy.

Probably take a while to get use to. Thanks for the feedback

Pieter, I reckon the problem is that you "learnt" those skills in cleats which are now actually just bad habits. Suggestion: don't go for a long ride but just play around practising the tech stuff with the flats. I will join you if you'd like

Probably true. I could still bunnyhop a small root but my feet kept on slipping off so I was not really that confident. Will have another bash with you next week or so.

Just finished. Still need new 102 BCD Chain ring (subtle hint if anyone knows where I can purchase one) as well as tensioner or half link chain. New Gobi for PYGA and then old Gobi to replace this saddle.

Good to meet you too. That Vassago is way better looking in the flesh. Pictures can never do justice to that paint job.

Something to play on, finally finished after almost a year with flats.

 

I love it
