    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    15km yesterday, 1st proper ride in 6 weeks with Covid life & a wife undergoing knee replacement. Even with a Mazza F & R (wet weather combo from now on), felt great to be out on the tracks. Optic rules !

    One day I'll post my Optic, production quality will be more in the crayon vein.

    It's going to be awfully hard to beat this build & impossible to beat the PYR thread production quality. Beautiful bike.

    Chain breaker tool, which one?

    My wife bought me the Abbey chain breaker for my 60th, probably the only Abbey tool I'll ever have. Beautiful tool.

    1st ride in a month, thanks to Covid. I was presently surprised on the cheat of the new wheel set, 10km with an average of 12km/h, max HR of 128bpm. Thought too many bloody Ebikes !

    Product Review Newmen Advanced SL A.30 Carbon Rims

    60km Report Weight savings (184g) noticeable, riding uphill in say a gear lower. Definitely stiffer, but not in any way a negative, some degree of compliance is present. Allows me to hold a line in rock gardens / rough, the 481 would tend to deflect a bit. They ride quiet. They do there job & go...

    Thank you Brain Trust & Onion Growers. Looks like flying in to Auckland, car & Air BNB in Rotorua. From there I'll see what happens, $ aren't to bad.
