Turning up the heat
Having lived abroad for a while, I love the heat. I love being in it, training in it, racing in it, eating ice cream in it.
So today, I went up to Borough for a quick session. 15 reps, jog one, romp one... and repeat. Being a cyclist it takes a while for my ankles to get used to the walking and running, especially with a bike on my back.
A few things that I have noticed will need attention are:
My Hope floating rotors have some play in the pivots. Its annoying so these will be replaced with a lighter, Alligator rotor.
I usually cut a section of inner tube, and wrap this around my front mech to reduce the rattling. I need to add this again.
Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres suck.
My freehub bearings will need replacing shortly.
I run traditional bend bars, with a padded gel insert under the tape. I have now had to duct tape this in place. Riding on the road wouldn't have been an issue, but for the 3 peaks, I cannot afford to have this move and loosen the bar tape.
