yes ady , my bike is coming out soon and im off out on it , its dry here so shouldnt be too bad.
but its def gonna need cleaning tonight :)
must remember to put some jam sandwiches in my jersey, dont want to allow mr bonk to come knocking like the other day
13 out this morning but cut short due to puctures and 1 blow out (not me!).
well ive done 4 hrs on the bike, not sure of the mileage but enough
cycled into the peak district , hills hills hills but not so windy today.
plenty of other bikies out as well and only 2 near misses. no cafe stop either
one lady on a phone who cut me up , turned left into a junction right in front of me then came back round to do a u turn , 3 x baby on board stickers:eek: . i just raised both arms up and she looked at me with those sorry i didnt see you in that blue white and bright green bianchi top:mad: , stupid cow, it was close.
then an old boy in a red mondeo kept pulling into the side of the road to avoid the speed bumps and twice nearly hit me , idiot.
ady dont you use slime tubes, i spent too many years doing punctures , sod the extra weight , i dont get any problems with them
No, don't think many roadies use the slime, mainly a mountain bike thing. The winter tyres now with the kevlar thingy seem pretty good but you always get guys out on tyres that are goosed, hence the puntures. I need some more degreaser spray now which makes cleaning the bike easier - spray it, leave it and then hose it down and give it a quick rub over.
Just used my new juicer for the 1st time, I fed it 2 full apples and it produced a glass of smooth apple juice in like 10 seconds - no bits of skin or owt. Pretty impressed
Now, if I add sugar I could ferment it and make some cider!!
Got some continental ultra gatorskins for me road bike, 2000plus miles so far without a puncture, know many other folk who swear by them:D
I got some of that free with my last bike, it seems pretty good.Quote:
