Ride Entry – 30th November 2009

Bike:Vela
DIstance: 30 miles

Very cold today, but still sunny and very windy (obviously) Nice ride though. Wore my winter boots for the first time this winter. Northwave celcius. They absolutely ROCK! My toes were not just ‘not cold’ but were actually warm the entire ride. 10/10 recommendation.

I possibly passed Trio out for a run as well but only realised after I’d got a bit up the hill…..

Maintenance day tomorrow.

Vela needs it’s gears sorting out, possibally a new front mech. I’ve been reluctant to check why it won’t change to the middle ring and why if I change to second gear the chain dumps onto the middle ring (but I can;t change the front mech to match it), so I’ve not been lower than big ring and third for a long time which makes climbing steep hills…interesting. It needs a bloody good cleanup too, oh and the bars are rocking slightly, I think I need another spacer in there.

Pimpino needs it’s brakes looking at, could just be some adjustment.

VanTuyl needs some new bar tape and ends and the front wheel is wobbling about a bit.

Humu needs a full service of everything. Saying that it’s left out in the rain permanently and still runs great everytime I get on it. Just feels a bit sandy sometimes.
