Saturday ride and some adjusting and also repairing
I was going to reply to this with a pic of the empty box surrounded by dead bottles with the caption "It was the best case of corona ever" but my mate chucked the box on the fire pit before I had a chance...

Due to adverse comments on the local news about irresponsible parking in the Lake District it was an early start ( 6.30 meet up in Hexham) for four of us to get to the small car park at Tilberthwaite..if we were to have any chance of a parking space ..arriving just before 9.00am to meet Dave & Jean who had travelled down from Carlisle ..
Not the best of starts when it became apparent that Jean had a problem with the front brake caliper sticking on ( which would be joined by the rear and plague her all day ) ..some some fettling was needed before getting started .
The ride for any UK riders ( MBR magazine readers) is more commonly known as Hodge Close ..(nowt to do with yours truly ..) ..probably because it passes through there twice ..
EMF & Jaco fettling at the start ..
Nick leading the way on his Whyte hardtail ..three emtbs & three mtb's yesterday
Dave..
Jaco & Jean
Meet them all..L to R
Jaco, Dave, Jean, EMF & Nick ..on the bridleway drop over Iron Keld to Park End
Grizedale Forest ..a surprise to see the amount of clear fell since I was last here ..and the Lawson Park bridleway has been diverted ..the first section although very technical is no where near as good as it was ..Great views of Coniston & the Old Man though ...
A great day out with most of the gang ..thanks to all..
p.s I lied about the number of pics ( suffer ! )
22.3 miles / 3821ft climbing / descending

Thought it was finally time to stop spending & start hitting the trails to test out the new bits & pieces.
Pleasantly surprised with the results

Spray the rear mech red for some balance ?Thought it was finally time to stop spending & start hitting the trails to test out the new bits & pieces.

stupid fat fingers - fixed now
Sticks of all shapes and sizes just seem to be drawn to me ..
It’s a green chain guide
I think @Pivot has some so I thought I'd give them a try. I tend to use pedals as landscaping devices, so I'm not buying some beautiful machined work of art to destroy. Think those will swap onto the Kenevo as they'll match the Yellow TTX shock.They can't really miss you with those pedals

Rather the landscaping approach than the open shin surgery lol. I like those pedals though.
Agreed !Rather the landscaping approach than the open shin surgery lol. I like those pedals though.
For a cheepo pair of pedals they seem fairly well put together. The shape seems good too and they concave in the middle a bit. Plus there's extra pins supplied and you can obviously take out any you don't like. No idea how they'll hold up bearing wise and they don't spin out of the box like a perpetual motion machine.

Yeah my face off green/white were cheapo but they are really solid. I've not had a slip off since fitting. Although if and when I am sure I will lose half my leg as the pins look and feel savage. I've had a few pedal strikes and my feet stay planted regardless and they are still going strong. If you like em keep em onAgreed !

Yea, mine are working very well. I like the surface-grip — my feet are firmly glued to the pedals.
The pedals didn’t spin freely out the box and I treat them with WD40 now and then. I am satisfied as long as they spin when I direct a water nozzle when I wash the bike.
They also make an x-wide version (13.5cm IIRC) which are even better for surface-grip, but I used to get too many pedal-strikes in the woods, to the point that one of my cranks came off and I had to replace a set. So I reverted to these which are larger than OEM, but not Big Bertha calibre
They're pretty much exactly the same size as my Raceface Chesters. The chester is slightly longer due to it's chamfered front and back edges - but the platform area is the same.Yea, mine are working very well. I like the surface-grip — my feet are firmly glued to the pedals.

Shape wise, they're inverted with the chester having a wider front than rear and the rockbros having a wider rear than front.

Incidentally, how about this for a bit of tin foil hattery. The route I took today passes through a big Tesco car park. I stopped to tie my lace & when I set off again, the motor gave a 510 error. I turned it off & on again & it was fine. The motor has never given any errors before. But get this, in the past I've had several occasions in the same car park where my car wouldn't lock or unlock on the fob.
They're beaming some sort of mind control ray from the deli counter, it's the only rational answer. ???

Were you stopped near an induction loop vehicle sensor?
Detection loop - Induction loop - Loop detector - Fortop UK
Loop detection and controle units at fortop A detection loop is an induction loop of copper wire that is located in the surface of the road.
fortop.co.uk
Bosch motor is known to throw that error when subjected to magnetic interference.
So if we lay the trails with induction loops - is that another way to remove the assist restriction ?
