Bangor, N Ireland yesterday early evening.
A cracker 18 mile pootle around my local trails which are uncharacteristically dry.
Ive replaced my riser bars with a narrower and flatter bar and I really noticed the difference in steering. Seems much more agile. The hire bike I recently rode had...
Very extreme and not to mention dangerous way of saving a few grams! The fourth one fell out after about 15 miles but luckily I had just moved off or I could have crashed. The spider etc came fully off!
I was able to find the bolt and refit it and then made my way home - carefully checking the...
Cala Galdana, Menorca a couple of days ago.
A rather marvellous 29 miles across a rather beautiful island. My first time cycling outside UK and hopefully not my last.
un gran día!
……had a wee fiddle and the bike turned on but off again after a bit of pedalling on the stand.
When I pedalled backwards and rotated the rear wheel the blue on/off light flickered dimly.
Then after a few minutes I turned it on and it has stayed on.
Not sure if the gremlin has fecked off or is...
So washed the bike as usual (light spray hose and soapy brush) a few hours earlier today and left it outside. Son just told me it seemed to be turned on and sure enough blue “on” light was on and the display too.
Turned it off and now it wont turn back on. Totally dead. I didnt read the display...
I have an Orbea Rise H30 fitted with HUNT Wide V2 wheels. The bike and wheels have performed faultlessly for the last 1700 miles.
But…
Earlier tonight I decided to change my brake pads and what should have been a 10 minute job turned into several hours of frustration and despair.
While I had the...
@thehodge - thanks chum. I have always rated Endura stuff very highly and Ive had loads of it over the years without any problems. But their response is pretty poor and not what I expected.
@Arminius - Ive read about questionable quality control recently. I have been careful when washing and...
I have an MT500 2 waterproof jacket which I bought in March 2022. Its been worn about 20 times and the seam sealant tape is peeling away in multiple places.
I emailed Endura asking for details of their repair service and received a reply referring to my “Speedo” product and asking for a...
Lord Wardens, N Ireland recently.
Another muddy, cold and windy ride along some of North Downs finest. Hadn't ridden Wardens for a while and it was a bog. Despite the copious amounts of storm debris and downed trees it was a lot of fun and even with boost mode it was hard going in places. But...
Crawfordsburn, N Ireland not long ago.
Very windy and very muddy ride today but it was great to get out. Managed to avoid the rain too which was a bonus.
Ive swapped the front Minion for an Assegai and I think it makes a big difference in the mud and slop. The bike seems to roll better...
Castlewellan, Co Down, N Ireland earlier today.
Traditional birthday pootle today and it was rather good. Very cold but windless, and the trails were dry and riding very well. For various reasons I haven’t been out and about as much recently but I plan to correct that this year.
I recognise...
I have a 2022 Orbea Rise H30
I noticed that one of the 6 bolts attaching the motor to the frame was loose and would not tighten. I decided to investigate and could not tighten or remove the bolt. It pulls out a few millimetres but there seems to be something stopping it from fully extracting...
Bangor, N Ireland earlier this evening
Just another lovely pootle along my favourite local trails. Perfect riding conditions in that it was warm and dry with practically no wind.
The biblical rain of late has managed to return the trails to almost their winter state but they are still
riding...
