[QUOTE=Hanneke;432717]Just as well I didn't clean that crosser
6 hours of playing in the mud and it is now even worse
Needs hosing down at work tomorrow!
Hosing Down. Hanneke !!!!!
Surely you mean a nice wash with hot water and then a polish.
Ive just bedded my Rourke down for the night, given it some fresh straw to lie on
I wished I was able to take a bike apart and put t back together... I don't have the skills, tools or knowledge
Just like our guinea pigs.Originally Posted by daz h
I do normall use a bucket of warm soapy water and a soft brush and cloth... but I reckon it needs hosing down first on this occasion

Attachment 5078Hann its not that difficult. Not sure whether you run Shimano or Campag or Sram but normally 3 x tools and a Torque Wrench is needed.
Removal is easy.
The rest of the bike is normally just allen keys.
I often talk to riders who just worry that its all very technical. Its really not and for a rider that does lots of miles a year it saves a fair whack of money.

Just wondering if anyone knows of anyone looking to sell a road bike??? My Ribble bought off FD is a great bike but im looking at doing a few more sportives and upping my mileage and as such am looking for a newer bike....budget of around 300 dabs but flexible...5.10 or therabouts with a 32 inch inside leg.
Just over 150 miles off 5 rides this week for me
I agree... maybe we should arrange a guided session... I run Shimano, which means I need three different tools to get the crankset off and the BB out... If I could do it with you the first time, I'd feel more confident doing it again on my own...
How are the Bramble Cuts and bruises Han? sounds like a tough ride....
The are tingling and stinging like hell Ian
I went through about everthing you can think off lol, but it is a good feeling, being out on those hills
Took me 3.5 hours to convince myself to get on the turbo... but managed one hard session out of 3 for this week
10 mins warmup, then 5 mins at low cadence avg hr 4 beats above lactate treshold, followed by 5 minutes high cadence at 8 beats above LT, followed by 5 mins low cadence and 5 high cadence, then 10 mins cool down... happy with that...
Still not as efficient at low cadence as I am at high cadence though, so that needs work...
I also suspect my hr at lt treshold has shifted upwards somewhat the last couple of months!
