Very impressed. Stick like sh1t to a blanket. Was a little odd trying to remember not to "clip out" by flicking my heel out! Been so used to Time pedals on the bike I was on today! Not quite sure I've got the right tension on the laces as yet, as I got a little numb in the toe on long climbs, but really good on everything else. In fact, really, really good!
SC Chameleon in XL – been waiting weeks due to some volcano dust 🙄
Can't decide to build it up or leave it hanging there to look at – but I have a lonely Rohloff & set of coil Pikes in the garage so I'm going to introduce them tomorrow 😛
Xt front and rear brakes £65 each again from ribble
Some mayhem shorts for £30 from merlin
A saddle for my fiancée £16 from merlin
Some Welgo MG1’s from merlin £31.50
And a few other sundries like gear cables and shimano hose olives, headset spacers…you get the idea.
Building up a second bike with all my spares for My fiancée. Took her out for a bike ride pub crawl a few weeks ago on a borrowed bike and she’s hooked! This lots getting bolted onto a 2009 malt1 with some fox vans for her. Not bad for a starter bike I think
Got a new tarp during the week and popped down to Kingston today to get some guy ropes. This is result of a trying out my pitching with nothing to hold it up but the bike and a single carbon pole:
The new bars I'm expecting will give me slightly more headroom and sticks in real outdoors (instead of Bushey Park) will probably help too.
Completed my bmx the other day with a brake (which is awful at the minute). Dunno if I like it enough to keep it yet, haven't given it a go at any skateparks yet. Awful on dirt jumps as it's far too steep/twitchy and unstable for my liking. Our local miniramp is metal so its ridiculously slippy with slicker tyres on.
Tempted to sell it or swap for a Charge Plug/similar if anyone is interested 😛
