Not been riding very much recently after a big crash in the bunch in a race (broke my pinkie 🙁 which then didn’t sit right and had to get wired a couple of weeks later) and the weather has been pish so didn’t think it would be wise to take them out in the chaingang until I was comfortable with the braking.
Took them out for my first proper ride on them yesterday , they feel so good, dunno if that’s ‘cos they’re tubs or just so bloody light. Braking wasn’t too scary even in the wet.
The only downside was the chunk of wire that sunk through my back tyre on the way home – looking at the bright side; changing a tub on the roadside wasn’t too bad, don’t think it took much longer than changing a tube, bit more expensive though!
Now, do I send it off to get repaired, cut it open and attempt to repair it myself or squirt in some Stans and hope for the best?
Thanks again for building them Al!
