Don't you hate it when you've been a bit slack and all the bikes need a good clean-up! Today was long overdue bike wash day.

Slow start to the year due to injury. But now in a pretty good spot fitness wise even after some up and down months. For the months I have been riding I'm averaging pretty close to 20hrs a month which would have been the same as my 250hr goal for a full years riding.

Why not mix a bit of grand final (pie) with Oktoberfest.

Broke my clavicle clipped in, my ankle on Flats. Take what you will from that lol. But to be honest I do prefer the bail ability of Flats so are still using them for gravity oriented rides.

I was going to add that lol. The pair I have are still the first clipless I ever bought.

I Agree with an entry level shimano shoe. Shimano M540 would also be a great option for a reliable pedal.

Or a tall person's bike...

Probably just save the shipping haha They usually have ex demo etc on their website. Deals were never worth it for a used bike imo.

I had a pair of Blundstone steel cap shoes I kept in the box at work for the odd occasion I had to go down to the warehouse. Hadn't used them for a couple of years over covid. Got them out recently, put them on and walked a few steps. Bloody soles had turned to goo and left a sticky black trail...

Yep, I've enjoyed my little Zwift experiment. But just can't see myself using the trainer in the warmer months. Only done 6 trainer rides since the 1st of August and 3 of those were in the first 4 days.

Yes, I'm just a little shorter than you haha. Following bar cutting, thought I better test them out :)

Originally put these bars on at 800mm to try. Usually run 780mm. Did feel great on open trails. But amazing how much an extra cm each side makes on right trails. Have cut back down to 780mm after having a few awkward moments at the local trails.

Looks like it still had a little travel left. Will see in the morning haha.

If you push the derailleur back by hand does it still have further travel? How much does the wheel move back during suspension travel?

Weather was too nice to not get out for a biggie. No ebike needed haha. Met up with my usual crew at the half way point for a chilled 2nd half. Also first visit back to the trail that caused me so much grief early this year lol.
