New Bike Day!!
|
Nice bike, are you planning on going on gravel paths or just road? If Road I can recommend Schwalbe one pro 28mm tubeless. Lovely smooth ride and fast
|
Cheers! I live on the canal tow path so that gets used a lot, the knobbly's are probably not needed but I'll have a go at wearing them out before replacing them. So far so good, first time using clip in pedals which was exciting :)

Very nice :thumb:

I got mine 3/4 years ago. My rides upto an hour were ok with a soft comfy 'normal saddle'. After 1 hour it became uncomfortable. I checked around and found the Adamo saddles(they have many types depending on use) I went with the road 2 version as most of my riding was road based then. It took me about 300 miles to become settled riding with my weight on my sit bones and not my block and tackle. I did this in 20-30 miles rides. After that i could ride 100 miles and not suffer at all with saddles issues. I put one on my MTB bike and again find it very comfy even though I am more sat upright. Not the cheapest saddle but worth it if you become sore after a short period of riding say 1-2hours |
I paid about £70 for this one, but you can't put a price on being able to feel your penis. Fingers crossed the rain holds off today and I can get a few miles on it.
I'm still very wary of the SPD's need to fall over then it's done. |

Went out for a ride yesterday, find the saddle this came with is rather uncomfortable and quite intruding. |
What a newb, that's on backwards.

By definition if you only drive a car you're fat, ugly, unfit and unhealthy :)

Good retort...:thumb: |
Yea Jack it most certainly is , I actually got a great deal on it myself , purchased it from team MoHawks in Paris , with it been a USA bike , it was a little less painful with them being official Pivot riders & dealers ... Anyway I got the bike I wanted .... Putting some good milage down now so happy days .. Hope you enjoy your new Ride

Pull up to a junction, forget my feet are attached and do a comedy fall to the road, glad that's out the way with little damage. What a dufus.

Happens to us all
Just get into the habit of detaching 1, a few yards up before you think you may stop , most you can adjust for tightness of pressure to apply lol |
First time it happened to me, single lane come around a corner and there's a flock of sheep in the road being hearded to next field. Moved to a passing place, lucky I thought then hit a puddle and stopped dead in the mud next thing sheep looking down at me
