    Roughly 200 miles on the South Downs, and the OE Schwalbe Rocket Rons on the Macina Race are cut up really badly. Hopefully the replacement Hutchinson tyres will arrive tomorrow, so that I can get rid of them. Weather permitting, I'm working at Keymer again this coming Saturday, then every...

    Some very familiar places there. :) Definitely one of the best places in the area to ride. My self and a few other riding friends, are heading up there on the 25th of this month for an Evans ride. A good chance to explore a new route. :)

    Very nice. :) Certainly a lovely evening tonight to get out for a short ride. So lovely to have dry conditions. Sadly no more riding until Thursday evening, :( electrikery, I hope that you don't mind, but I had a little play with two of your photos.

    Tyre time again

    I figured that I had best get my backside into gear and get the Macina Race onto a tubeless set up. I've ordered up a set of Hutchinson Toro Enduro Tubeless Ready Hardskin RR Folding Tyres http://www.hutchinsontires.com/en/mtb/8-toro.html to replace the OE Schwalbe Rocket Rons. If the Toros...

    I never looked to see, but I do have a new set of tyres order, and would have been a bit miffed if they had been fitted. :D

    Now that was too close for comfort. A delivery driver using a mobile phone pulled out in front of me this afternoon. The road rapidly seemed to run out in front of me in mili seconds, and when I went back later and measured the skid, it was 49' long! F**k knows how fast that I was going, but the...

    I've been very lapse this week, and haven't been out. I didn't really feel like going out this evening either, but things felt good, and I ended up really enjoying it. Not an overly long ride, as I just wanted to check out a few more new local ride sections, and ended up taking my once a year...

    Electric Bike Exhibitions

    Lets face it, even if you ran a slow race, Oxygen would enter a top trials rider in order to win it. Why not choose a venue that would interest eMTB users as well as road bike users. Pippingford Park would make a brilliant venue. It has all the facilities that you could ever want, direct...

    One bike, for one day.

    Just as a bit of fun and to lighten things up a bit, if you could choose just one bike to keep and ride for a day, what would it be? This was quite a tough one for me to answer, as there are actually two, but keeping to within my own rules for the thread, my one choice would be a B4 Bikes...

    Certainly a lovely dry day for it, and so quiet. :) Just wish that I could persuade my wife to ride a bike. She is missing out on so much. :(

    Bosch intuvia inaccurate speedometer

    I went to edit the post not knowing that it had already been answered, the computer froze and deleted my post! Looks like I need to use the manual as well. :oops:

    How's the Bank Holiday weather where you live.

    Weekend you say... Must be time to fire up the WFO. :) kofkas and wraps with chilli's etc this evening, followed by pizza. Slow roast pork tomorrow, with flower pot bread to follow up the heat. Rabbit casserole put in before leaving for work on Tuesday morning. The oven never fails the...

    I had a full weekend of riding planned, but as things go, I'm still feeling crap. I shouldn't have bothered today, and nearly gave up after just ten minutes. Sadly a full days riding cut short to just a few hours. :( Urgh!! Is that a KTM? Take it away! Normally I'd have been straight into...

    Oxydrive ride recorded on Strava.

    Lovely. :) As said earlier when I saw your ride on Strava, the black arrow points to how close that you were to where I was working today. :) I had to push the bike almost the whole length of that bridleway when I tried to tackle it a month or so back. How was it today? I might well take the...

    What is a reasonable mileage/lifespan for brand-name pedals?

    I'm not sure what it is about the M530 pedals, but like you, I have also got through two sets because of bearing failure. I guess that I got about 2,000 miles out of each set. These days I use Shimano Deore XT and XTR Race clipless, and all seems very good with them. One set I got free from...

    Very nice electrickery. :) I've had a couple of short rides, and popped out earlier this evening for something a little bit longer, but I was being lazy and didn't want to fit the lights, so cut the ride shorter than I intended. I also took a look in at Hornshurst Woods, to try a bit of...

    Any forum members close to Sowerby Bridge

    Just a bit of a long shot with this one. I am thinking of bidding a pedal cycle on Ebay which is located at Sowerby Bridge, but the sale is collection only. Subject to me bidding and winning the cycle, are there any forum members close to the area, that might be willing to collect the bike...
