Ride Entry – 5th April 2009
Bike: Chameleon
Distance: 30 miles
Decided to get an early morning ride in because it’s a busy day and I’ve got an all-nighter on at work (which actually turned out to be a relatively pleasant 22:30 – 5:30 event). Lovely weather, bright ans sunny, not too cold. Chameleon brakes was squealing a bit. One of the pads was wornm virtually right down so I swapped them round (advantage of mini-mono’s) which helped a bit. As I was riding along one road section I was looking down at the brake when suddenly this car appeared in my peripheral, coming towards me on my side of the road about 18 inches to one side. Good shout and and hand signals but sadly he carried on.
Apart from that, great ride.

Black singlespeed chameleons *rock*, but only when they work and not when bits startdropping off them

indeed. Mine’s been bombproof so far, cheap componentry seems to have done that job well. The disk pads seem to wear out fairly quickly on the front which I’m assuming is the caliper not being set up right but I can’t figure out what it is.
