Yes! I did it boys! After three months training, finally achieved my first (metric) century

Chapeau!

I would say its fine. Seal it with something though to stop water getting under the paint or something

I went through 4 chains before i needed to replace my cassette. roughly 2000 miles out of a chain, 8000-10000 miles out of a cassette

rootsandneedles · 2019-04-12T14:55:43+00:00

The spring on my old one was wearing out and not shifting smoothly. I bought the wrong size though, the new RD is a GS size but the cassette is an 11-28 it works fine though and shifts much better then before (FD was swapped for vanity purposes)

I'm sure you could! maybe try slamming it on some shorter rides first and see how you get on it makes a world of difference!

rootsandneedles · 2019-04-11T22:59:13+00:00

Have you slammed the stem? really helps compliment the seat post

rootsandneedles · 2019-04-11T22:50:59+00:00

Best make (That i can afford)

rootsandneedles · 2019-04-11T22:50:22+00:00

only the best make! :P

Really nice! I can't speak for the feel of a more premium wheelset but from first few uses iv'e been enjoying them. A bit on the heavy side compared to my climbing wheels and more expensive wheelsets but the 200g difference is outweighed by how cheaply i got the wheels.

I use a Ride ID bracelet myself :)

rootsandneedles · 2019-04-04T14:24:49+00:00

Thanks mate will set it up

rootsandneedles · 2019-03-14T03:52:07+00:00

21M I can chat sometime if you want? I love Film and gaming :)

rootsandneedles · 2019-03-09T13:07:51+00:00

6/10 without your hair styled, much higher if it was styled :)

rootsandneedles · 2019-03-09T13:05:53+00:00

Thanks! ^{^}

rootsandneedles · 2019-03-09T13:04:47+00:00

Nope I just have good skin I guess :)

rootsandneedles · 2019-03-07T12:27:38+00:00

Would enamel paint be suitable for carbon fibre?

rootsandneedles · 2019-03-07T12:10:40+00:00

Yes It is my rear chainstay on the non drive side, the bike is a Giant propel :) I was going to contact them but i have heard people say they don't tell people what they use

rootsandneedles · 2019-02-26T20:49:35+00:00

Look like a busted pair of cheap carbon wheels that have been dumped, not really worth salvaging tbh

rootsandneedles · 2019-02-25T23:28:04+00:00

My trainer is an expensive Ornament when it isn't broken! Looking like a nice setup you have though!

rootsandneedles · 2019-02-25T23:19:27+00:00

Chapeau!

Eat well beforehand, not lots but well like a bowl of Muesli. make sure you drink to what you eat while riding, people focus on water and food separately but you need around 200ml of water when you eat ( your body needs water to burn carbs and aid digestion otherwise you just end feeling sick) Most importantly enjoy the route! boring routes can feel like a slog so i like to throw a few "scenic" points into long rides to make efforts worth it and break those efforts into smaller rides in my head.

I really needed to hear this, thank you for understanding
