Yeah, have had numerous far worse incidents with my MTB. Doesn't happen that often on the road bike.
I do, yes. Ew to you too
Why? I do, yes. Ew to you too
You do know the pros only do it as it makes the after-ride massages every day a lot easier...
Bimble over to Combe on Friday with EddH, trackday was a bit pants, nothing that special there.... apart from the 1300cc GSXR engined Reliant Kitten....
Bike now resplendent with 50mm Chinese carbon clinchers from 2011cycling2011 from ebay. Feel nice, especially when cornering quickly on tight bends. They are 23mm wide and I'm running 23mm tyres which seem to be a bit too narrow but I'll change to wider tyres later in the year and see if it makes a difference.
If people want a comfy bike for long distances, pencil thin, bowed seat stays are the way forwards....

Forced stop when out this morning, due to the loss of rear shifting, later found to be the di2 cable loose at. The front shifter, but guess what, I did not have the insertion tool with me so could not get it back in. Had to ride all the way home in one rear gear, and the front two rings! Doh!
I will take this tool with me on every ride now!
It made me think of the Benjamin Franklin Quote, " for the sake of a nail, the shoe was lost, ....... Etc etc. "

A few more shots from the Welshpool area - bloody windy today!
- a hint of what 'Long Mountain' has in store......
- the 'lump' in the background is 'Long Mountain' - from the start of the ascent to the finish of the descent is about 9-ish miles, good fun but you know you have ridden it by the end!!!
