Road Cycling

Old fart that values comfort too much nowadays, just took delivery of my gp5000 all season 35c tyres :)

Tempted to run them tubeless for even more smoothness!

Ride this morning had epic wind chill! Strava says 6 degrees but feels like-3! Wind was 18.3mph.

Still 22 miles done and a few PBs (no doubt helped by the wind!).

Only one day in, but can confirm, Gran Canaria is pretty cool!

Finally sorting out the winter bike after the drivetrain self destructed back in, erm, 2024! Brakes need bleeding as well, so I started on the front yesterday afternoon. Tubeless has obviously worked very well as the nut on the non-lever end of the QR skewer had seized and wouldn't loosen. I manged to get the wheel off the bike, then had to clamp the nut in a vice to unscrew it.

New QR skewers ordered this morning...
 
@AndyCr15 I keep meaning to ask you this. On the newer Aftershokz that you have, how do you find them in the wind? Mine are fine for music but in the wind it's a bit rubbish for podcasts. With the extra drivers do the new ones work better?

eh, I need longer rear brake calliper bolts for the new bike. I raided the local bike shop and picked out the 2 longest ones they had but they will only just grip the calliper so will have to order some in. But the point of this post, why can't car garages leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling inside that the good old local bike shop does?
