I built a 650B bike. Surely it’s only a matter of time before I grow a beard and start wearing long socks.
But it does have track ends.
On the forks!

Last week, chain was getting a bit slack so I finally fit the Tuggnut, courtesy of Amazon. Mmmm, snug chain…

I know its sacrilege, but I ran a rear brake, put a free wheel on and turned it into an SS. I live only 1.5kms from work so don’t do much commuting and I was too scard of causing a mass pile up if I rode fixed in a bunch :-o

I replaced my saddle today as my Selle Italia broke. I put on just an el-cheapo that I’m borrowing off a friend. I was thinking of puting on a Turbo saddle. I’ve heard a lot of talk about them, can I ask, why are they so hyped up? Is it because they are super comfy? cheap? retro? strong? any of the above?
I really like my selle saddle but am not keen on spending another couple hundred on the same model replacement (although it was a present to begin with).

I ride turbo for comfort. Mines beat to the shit and still is more comfortable then any other saddle i’ve owned.

Bought a NOS deep-v rim last week, got it laced at Hell on Wheels and fitted it today. So the ken now has almost matching silver rims, black spokes & black hubs. Looks better.

1. Rode to work in my new Rudy Project Zyon ImpactX Photochromatic clear glasses. Officially the best sunglasses ever: Photochromatic from clear to dark, so can ride in dark or sun in them. Stealth matt black colour and full frame works in any situation (work, play etc) . And half price from UK store. 🙂
2. Tweaked the angle of the Ergon grips on my XC duallie
3. Received parcel from ebay :: new SMP Strike Glider. Sh’yeah. Best saddle ever! It goes on the Concorde.
4. And because coffee and bikes are intimately intertwined - backflushed the Lelit. Made latte. Made another one. Mmmm, coffee.
Pretty good bike day.

Well done mate, you’ll never go back to any other pedals after using Speedplay. Best pedal on the market.
