    Probably for the best. Gives the IF a stay of execution ;p

    Hmmmm, I’m not feeling the unerring support I’d hope for from a friend here 😉

    They all laughed at the Wright brothers. Same thing.

    Anyway there’s more contact area per revolution which means better dissipation of heat and better cooling.

    That’s better! 😛

    Missed you out today – next week?

    Managed to get out, but only for a ride with the gremlin. Hopefully be out next week for a decent ride.

    Annoyingly after dropping a load of cash on the Belter she is insisting on riding her old balance bike. To be fair she did 4.5 miles on it. Which is pretty good going!

    On a positive note (naysayers take note!) I rode the IF with it’s rear disc mod and didn’t explode in a fiery ball of death 😉

    Now obviously a 4.5 mile ride with a 4 yr old, at an average of 3.5 mph isn’t really testing it to the limits. However, I did a few hard rear brakes to try it out and didn’t hold off using it for general braking……and it seems to work. So far.
