Awesome! So you'll be up and rolling around again soon?
Should be able to get everything sorted on Thursday for Friday's commute. I'm away for the next few days anyway, so no rush uncinqsix said:
Up and running with nice new wheels - went in on them on Friday. They do seem to feel a little better than the old ones. The freehub is rather noisy (almost like a Hope), which I quite like and should be useful for waking up pedestrians on my morning descent down the shared path
Ooo I really like that. A great colour too.Vocal Minority said:
Beautiful morning - crisper than a bag of crisps.
The base layer has been broken out though.
Base layer for me too (and arm warmers) Hoping they're not back for good!The base layer has been broken out though.
Did smile to myself as a RLJ tried to follow a lorry he thought was about to jump a red. Needless to say the lorry didn't jump the red and the cyclist ended up skidding himself to a stop very close to the back of it
I returned to commuting after my holidays today. I had fitted new rear wheel bearings and re-fitted the drop bars to my cyclocross bike, but still had the off-road tyres on, which felt like pedalling through treacle above 18mph. I might do an off road variation on the way home to make use of the tyres.
Did a century Saturday and was finding dehydration an issue due to the heat and lack of bottle refill places
This morning was about 10 degrees, 20 degrees different from Saturday!!
Nice ride in back on the claptrap heavy rigid mtb, was like late October lots of mud and damp everywhere, nice enough ride though enjoyed not having to give a st about the potholes and ability to use quiet tracks

It's quite a good little all-weather commuter. It loses a little of its original "stealthiness" with the branding on the new wheels though
2013 Giant Seek 2 if you're wondering.
It's a Giant as well?! I think I'm in love!2013 Giant Seek 2 if you're wondering.
My old hardtail MTB that I've converted to a hybrid/city bike is almost the same in terms of spec, but that's a lovely frame/fork.
On a different subject, yesterday I broke the 1000 mile mark for commutes to work. Since April 22nd (18 weeks ago) I have ridden to/from work 50 times It's been a good summer of riding. I wonder much I can keep it going throughout the winter months though.
