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

[BT180]

Is there much a difference in the yoke length between standard and the Cascade?

A quick google didn't come up with a plethora of posts about broken coils on Commencal's...not like people are quiet about those shenanigans (or maybe I'm no Hambo at googling)

Yeah, probably enough difference to amplify things, even though Cascade are adamant it's the bike's design, not the link.

I have not ridden my bike today.

Today is a bad day for you.

Minor improvement! I rode one of them. Sure it was to work into a headwind, but I rode it!

I thought fuck it, let's go for a quick ride this morning..

It's nearly midday lol

One of my best solo rides around Smithfield, 12.9km and 425m climbed.

Definitely feeling stronger in the climbs since starting kettlebell training. Imagine I was under 100kg!

If strength and fitness you seek, cut out the first half of that ride and do the second half of that ride twice next time. Regardless - good effort (and nice pictures!).

The first part was warm up followed by forgetting how to get to Pipeline haha

Can I also add that downhill is also fucking hard work.

I'm gonna need some four pots if I intend to do more.

1. You're doing it wrong
2. (Insert industry wank statement, you need 6 pot or nothing)

Sorry, due to high demand waiting time is 18 months!

Perfect timing for his next ride....

Quality is worth the wait...

(...also worth their weight in gold apparently. )

I'll probably just get a Deore four pot caliper and lever.

I can think of many other things that will do more than more powerful brakes.

I haven't been to Smithfield in over seven years, from memory those climbs are some of the steepest I've ridden, well done Hambo. We covered this over a week which included a few shuttles of the World Cup track.

EDIT: Looks like a lot of climbs missing from that data, back then I think that I was only interested in recording the race runs in case there was a dispute with the event timing.

Thank you

Thank you

Is that mad steep climb that looks like a concrete driveway still there... what about the slightly creepy half finished mansion on the top of the hill?
