Up on last year. Mostly on road and gravel bikes.
A bit of XC and Cyclocross thrown in :D.
Only 250 miles on the e-bike this year :(.
2022 isn't done yet.
If it stops raining another ride will see 300k ft

My goodness, that takes me back.
Imagine how gung-ho and lawless it was 30+ years ago.
There was bugger all there back then, except a couple of bars playing nowt but Tarkan. Absolutely Ace 😆
This woman has left a household at 3am on Sunday, apparently with no phone or money.
Not seen since.
Urgent appeal to find missing Helmsley woman | North Yorkshire Police
Hopefully she will turn up on someones sofa...
But if not, it is a needle in a haystack north of Helmsley, and the...
Looking out of my home office window watching it coming over Sutton Bank.
No long road ride for me today.
Might go out on the eMTB locally.
We have a missing person out of Helmsley,won't do any harm to explore some of the woods off the beaten tracks.
It must have been, it accepted a piece of a "Greggs" pasty
Also UK's only venomous snake makes the mistake of basking in the middle of a fire road.
Edit: not actually the only one... otherwise they would be now extinct... the only species "adder"
Colnago C68
Titanium lugged in Black and Gold
Shimano M9200 Dura-Ace Di2, rim brakes, Enve wheels on Conti GP5000S
7.2 kg, with unlimited range and speed.
As an aside, our family tree has my families ancestors (The Foster's) from the 16th through to the 18th century living in and around Clapham, and buried in St James churchyard at the bottom of that descent. Small world. Now in Helmsley... even smaller world.
On the contrary, Gary rarely does anything other than state the bleeding obvious.
What is an interweb forum for, but for keyboard warriors to continually debate the minutiae of ever narrowing niches?
But hey, why stop there? lets widen the debate to.
Is a gravel bike merely a road bike with...
The seal has to be responsible for 99.99% of bearing failures would be my "guess".
And the seal may not fail in a strict sense, just unlikely to be 100% effective when subjected to grit, mud and pressure washers.
Bearing fails because the seal hasn't protected the bearing.
IS THE LIGHTWEIGHT LOW POWERED MARKET ABOUT TO KICK OFF ?
NO... Of course it's not, it will continue to exist, but will remain at the niche end of the eMTB niche.
The more slices you split the cake into, the narrower and more niche each slice gets. Hardly a scenario to "kick off"
Motor...
Can someone please tell me when this mythical time was, that prices didn't increase ?
Maybe mummy and daddy bought your stuff, so you didn't notice.... ?
Quantative Easing (printing money) will continue. It is the only mechanism left in the arsenel of economies across the globe to stave off...
Is the even lighter, even less assisted, faster, genuinely eco, with totally unlimited range market going to take off?
Oh hang on, it might mean you have to put a little more effort in (and join an unassisted forum)
B b b but... it's 2022, effort is so last century.... now, where is my...
Bluebells are out.
Not been on an assisted ride for months.
25 mile circuit from my front door, didn't see a soul.
But taking a shower after the ride, found a sheep tick firmly attached somewhere unmentionable :eek:, glad I found it.
Tight roadie shorts from now on...
A quick Google reveals a MR JAAN SHANAKA VISHWAJITH CONGANEEGE ANTHONY registered trademarks of ORYX in 2020
Then registered with Companies House as ORYX E-bikes Limited in 2020.
His previous disolved businesses are in Leeds and Barnsley, but ORYX E-bikes is registered in Old Street, London...
Not tried Smoove, but did experiment with Squirt which is a similar wax based drip lube.
Didn't last long enough in the dry on a road bike, let alone on a filthy MTB ride. And didn't appear significantly cleaner.
I wasn't convinced when applying to a cold bike, that it was viscous enough to get...
I only run hot waxed drivetrains on my road and gravel bikes (where I rack up the miles), I will get 300 ish dry miles on a wax.
After a long wet ride I will either put a fresh waxed chain on, or maybe apply a bit of Squirt/Smoove to eek out a few more miles.
I bought the Ultrasonic cleaner...
