First ride last week and just about to head out to Hebden now.

Second hand Transition Bandit 29er frame. All other gubbins has come off my Horsethief.

Should be good fun.

Not my wall.

Nice except brown saddle and blue chainstay protector combo.

I'm also not happy about the chain stay protector, was all i had in the spares box. Normally use an inner tube but since going tubeless, my mountain of tubes has disappeared.

That's so ugly it's bound to be a great ride!

Oh, and your garden is lovely.

Looks fun!

Cut a length of gorilla tape to match the chainstay, stick it on very lightly so there's only the very top of the chain stay tube sticking to the tape, trim each edge with scissors to match the curve of the stay and leave you about half an inch of curvy tape. Stick down firmly ride off into the sunset. I once saw a great sunset near Horsethief campground in Utah.

Do 2 layers of you want some more protection

Well I like. But then I've got the same saddle so I'm biased.

Nice one Sandwhicheater.

Pfft.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

I love that we have to make clear grass / walls / shrubbery isn't ours on this forum. We only care about the bike if it's an utter pig. Which this isn't btw.
