#GoodMorning#Urban#Gravel! What a shit of a weather!💀 1°C and it’s automatically #rain and #wind… My hands are painfully numb, as my “winter” gloves were like a soaking wet sponge…😳 British gloves reviews should be a part of #MontyPython’s…🥹
#GoodMorning#Gravel! I’ll be damned! It was as cold as at night, about -5°C…🥶 No stops for tea, though, so it was quite pleasant.🥹 I was fully geared up for winter, I’m afraid what’s going to be when the real deal comes…💀
It was cold AF but still worth it! -4°C and high humidity was not the greatest, but a #night ride with a #friend was exactly what I needed. The hot tea was also a nice touch!🥰
#GoodMorning#Gravel! I guess I’m finally getting used to the bad weather. The transition is always painful, but it was surprisingly ok in 2°C and strong wind… #KidsOnBikes - pure love!❤️
#GoodMorning#Bicycle in the #Rain! Hectic and discouraging start of what’s seems to be a shitty day. The Wife is ill, I had to manage all 3 kids, including little Sophie and Peter’s therapy… Everything is on my head and it’s far from over…😔
Today in tk's #seabikes adventures: descending from Phinney Ridge without a function front brake. :blobfoxscared:
(The bike has TRP Hylex hydraulic disc brakes. I took it to my LBS after and they said that it looks like the caliper might've sprung a leak and has been contaminating the rotor. I've had the brakes for several years now, so I'm not too bothered.)
Yes, cantis. I like them. :blobfoxgooglytrash: They work well when set up correctly: straddle as low as you can get them to start, then raise little by little if you prefer. Having a lower cable hanger will additionally reduce system flex and improve stopping.
Even those dreaded Tektro “Oryx” 992A calipers. You need the straddle super low, but they work great that way. (That does also mean that they have limited tire clearance!)
(Oh, and this isn’t a “rim versus disk” debate starter. If anything, it would be a “cantis suck” debate. :blobfoxgoogly: )
#GoodMorning#NewKitDay! Yesterday I’ve got a new #winter long bibs, jacket and merino balaclava from #Decathlon. I was sceptical about the jacket but I was wrong! It’s toasty as hell, I’m very happy with it!😂
What a fabulous #GoodMorning#Gravel! The weather has changed rapidly and today it’s going to be 13°C. Seems the winter is gone for a minute and we’ve get a glimpse of that #Autumn!😂🙈
#NightRiders strike again! Some #forest#cycling has been done, especially entertaining it was in the middle of the #night! A friend has joined me on this cold endeavor, what a bliss.🥰
It’s been a relatively warm #night#gravel ride! A pleasant surprise to what has been it a last few weeks!🥰 Hot tea has been still involved, but at least it wasn’t about enduring the cold pain…🙈
#GoodMorning#Warta#River!🥰 It’s been 2°C which isn’t particularly hot, but it’s far better that a few days before. It almost felt like summer…😂 Also, #KidsOnBikes were surprisingly on time…🥹
#GoodMorning#Gravel! I have a nasty feeling this year’s cold period is going to be a really wet and miserable nightmare. My hands are already hurting…😔 #KidsOnBikes are tough as nails, though…🥰🙈
#GoodMorning#Gravel! Cold, but manageable! #KidsOnBikes got there with no complaints and we even had a moment of fun in the process!😂 #Forest of #Cybina is a gift that keeps on giving!🥰
