Thank you 👍

Well spotted 👍

Thanks, I'll take a look 👍

It would have been nicer if you were there also ♥️

@@julie-wheelersatlarge Hi Julie, thanks for commenting. Hope you're doing ok x

It's a good climb. There is a sticker on the sign at the top which says 'Proper climb that'. It made me smile when I first saw it. I enjoy the descent more than the climb though there...the ride down is superb 🚴👍

You were both missed.

@@GrenKershaw You...or me?

@@Gledii Hi, thanks for commenting. The climb up towards the lighthouse from the start is one way up and one way down, but don't let that put you off. It's an iconic climb for a reason 👍. Are you staying nearby?

@@LivandTrekGoCycling yeah. i will be staying in Alcudia. i just asked because the route i found in komoot its a one way and i wanted to confirm as your descent looked very cool. i wasnt sure was back on the same route. thanks

@@GlediiStaying in the North of the island is good for all of the iconic climbs. The start of the Cap climb is not too far from Alcudia at all. The scenery is great along the route...you'll have a great ride 🚴👍

@@LivandTrekGoCycling yeah, IT seemed to me a good location and only 30km to the middle of the island to explore the climbs... Looking forward to IT :)

Hey thanks for commenting. Did you enjoy the video?

@@LivandTrekGoCycling Oh yeah it is the glorious and legendary Mallorca impossible not to enjoy it =). Thanks for this gem of a video!

@ibonechevarria-o7k My pleasure. Thank you 🚴👍

Hi Kevin, thanks for commenting. Whilst the tub is a small 3 oz size...only a small amount of paste was needed to cover two rotors of one bike. I didn't need much at all so I'm fairly happy that you get at least 20 uses out of a tub..maybe a little more. As a home user and not a professional mechanic...I'd bet the tub contents would last for longer than I'd actually need it.

@@chrismcgourty1756 Thanks for watching and for commenting and for the helpful suggestions also 🚴👍

That doesn't always guarantee that both pistons will travel the same distance- you may have one that is "stickier" than the other resulting in the caliper not being centred over the rotor. I worked in an outdoors centre with 60 bikes and the kids always dragged and glazed the pads, some bikes were so past it the calipers sometimes leaked and what I found was that contaminated pads- from oil, mist spray from aerosols(ie WD40-instructors trying to "help" by working on the bikes behind my back!!), mineral oil etc all went in the bin...the time and effort trying to save them wasn't worth it and rarely worked!!! With rotors you can always carefully apply a flame from a propane torch to the brake surface(don't discolour it!), this will burn off any impurities that the other methods don't fully resolve. FWIW- Personally I've never had squealing brakes on my bikes, and I stick with resin pads anyway!

So...resin pads have a benefit of reduced squealing then?

@@LivandTrekGoCycling Sintered ones are noisier, but take a while to heat up and are the strongest braking power (and you get a compound that's "semi metallic" (half'n'half) IIRC, the rotors may advise what pads you can use anyway- sintered etc generally on DH/MTB where brake fade would happen with resin pads under heavy use....Once bedded in and working remember to never touch the rotors with bare hands and watch for aerosol contamination!!

Oh..yes, I've learnt the hard way about touching rotors with bare skin. I even make sure I remove the rotor from the back wheel or cover it now when I put the chain through my parktool degreaser bath...so flying dirty oil doesn't land on the rotor. Once bitten...twice shy 😉

@@DirkSachse Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm not sure if it's a ceramic paste although I wouldn't be surprised if the principals behind how it works are similar to other automotive products. I know similar products exist but I've never tried them. I just know, even from watching other reviews on UA-cam...this stuff works 🚴👍

@@stuartmulchinock9716 I agree, good people. Darren knows his stuff. Thanks for watching 🚴👍

@@hans-joachimhackbarth3003 Thanks for watching, hope you have a great time. Will you be doing this climb whilst there?

Hi Julie, thanks for commenting. I'm enjoying flying it, I was a bit nervous when first using it...got to be careful with birds as they sometimes like to attack it but it's a great asset to have. How are you doing?

Flying it over water..... My heart would have been beating very fast.... 💓👍

Hola Duncan, gràcies per comentar. M'alegro que hagis gaudit del vídeo. La bicicleta de fre de llanda que es veu en aquest vídeo estava bé. Ho vaig llogar a la mateixa botiga. 🚴🇪🇦👍

@@leehitchen5438 Hi, thanks for commenting, although Im not sure who Julie is?

@LivandTrekGoCycling oooops sorry posted on wrong video It was meant for your mate Julie wheeler 🤣

Haha...no worries. I wish her nothing but the best currently 😇

@@johnW-k8g Hi John, thanks for commenting. Thanks for the clarification about the other way and also the other monastery route/climb 🚴👍

Ian, thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. Were you staying in the south also?

I stayed at soller which is a great little town and base with the brilliant hair pinned climb of col de soller and the port de soller. Would highly recommend if you’ve not been

I've been to port soller a couple of times. Had lunch there not so long ago when I did the Puig Major climb ...very pretty place 🚴👍

Oliver, thanks for commenting. San Salvador has been on my 'ride list' for a few years. It's around a 83 mile round trip when I stay in the north...just haven't gotten round to it yet. I've been there once though many years ago as tourist on a bus trip. Have you ridden it yourself?

@@LivandTrekGoCycling Yes plenty of times. Its a bit steeper and a bit more spectacular.... and the cafe is cheaper. There are GPX files all over the internet for various rides connecting the monasteries in Mallorca, 100 miles ish generally. Its mostly quiet back lanes, pretty villages and then the short climbs up to the monasteries. They are a nice change of scene from the Tramuntana rides.

Next time I'm on the island and in the north...it'll be on my list 🇪🇦🚴👍

Hope you enjoyed it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚴👍

@@LivandTrekGoCycling Awesome 🤩 Loved the Climb to Randa 🙌🏻

I gave you top billing as well...by including your photo on the thumbnail....you're famous now 🚴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😆

Thanks for commenting. It was still enjoyable 🚴👍

Hi Graham, thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video...you're quite right of course...a video is always a poor substitute for real life 🚴👍

Palma was it's usual, absolutely ram packed. That's why we only ever visit it by bike or bus 😃 Hey, don't knock a market on a bike ride 😉 There are always food trucks to fuel up and less 'death stares' if you're pushing a bike through it rather than cycling a bike through it 🤣 I ended up with severe Lymphoedema after cancer treatment. Extremes of heat or cold bother it and especially so with heat. It's the same with fibromyalgia but the cold is soooooo bad with fibro. I'm a 'not too hot and not too cold' kinda gal......like Goldilocks 🤣🤣 I can't push myself too hard, or I'll end up suffering for it. We had a fun day with cycling and gorgeous weather. Mid September through to late May is off peak for regular tourists but very much 'on peak' for cycling tourists 👍 It was a relaxing change to be a regular tourist. Much needed too after a stressful few months and with more surgery for me on the horizon. ⛱️

Hi Tony, thanks for commenting, that's kind of you to say. I think you're the only person to have commented saying they enjoyed the Xmas videos. It's a shame they didn't get many views but we enjoyed doing them 👍🧑‍🎄

Oliver, thanks for commenting. I enjoyed this route 🚴👍

@@LivandTrekGoCycling next time you are in the south, take a trip to St Elm, it's a gorgeous spot and a lovely ride.

Oliver...Thank you for the suggestion, I'll make sure I do 🚴👍

Hi Julie, thanks for commenting. I look forward to watching your videos when you're back there x 🚴💪

Thanks Mike, am I right in thinking you both cycled that road but in the opposite direction to me when you rode with the FCC Legends?

Hi Duncan, thanks for commenting. I enjoyed being out on the bike and enjoyed that route...I'm glad that comes across in the video. You feeling better by the way?

@@LivandTrekGoCycling slowly improving thanks. I will get there. Cheers.

Just watched your latest video...yes...COVID appears to be on the rise. In fact Vicky is off for a COVID booster this morning 👍

@@LivandTrekGoCycling i only found out yesterday that one of my work colleagues had tested positive last week I think. And I missed my last booster because I was poorly at the time. Had plenty of patients in that have had it very recently too. This job of mine doesn’t do me any good in terms of my health sometimes I’m sure. 🤪

I'm always surprised I haven't contracted it whenever I get off a plane...such an enclosed place and people coughing and spluttering on board. Imagine...getting to Majorca ...and coming down with it...sure fire way to ruin your holiday😷🤧

Hans...thank you for commenting. I'm happy that my happiness makes you happy...cycling is good and I find good for the soul. Do you cycle yourself?

@@LivandTrekGoCycling Of course;-))) ex-racer with a bike-shop in Germany with my own brand

Hi Steve, thanks for commenting. Its a good route isn't it...that coast road regardless of whether you ride it up or down..is a pleasure to ride. Sorry to hear about your puncture especially on a descent. You came out unscathed?

Yes I was lucky as at speed downhill. I subsequently found it was a dodgy wheel on rental bike as I had 3 punctures in 3 days(!). After 3rd one I was fed up and shop changed wheel and all good although it was odd as nothing obvious that I could see neither could shop. Anyway, fortunately I didn't come off. One thing that came out of it though is having only 1 spare tube with a rental bike not sufficient so from now on when I go abroad I will take some ready patches with me as back up as if I'd had another puncture same day I'd have been stuck.

Blimey...you must have had someone smiling down on you from on high that day 😇. As for patches...they're a good idea, I try to carry a packet in my tool bottle. I'm fortunate in that I haven't a puncture on a rental bike. I think they tend to put hard wearing 'puncture resistant' tyres on rental bikes which I bet are a bugger to get off 🙄

Ha, true..I'd be faster up if I had one. Thanks for commenting 👍

Thanks for commenting Julie. You'll get there x

Hi Barry, thanks for commenting. The weather in the UK so far has been atrocious, the fact you've had your heating on in June says it all doesn't it! Hope you have a good time at Apple cross...ride safe 🚴👍

Hi Dunc...thanks for commenting. The coffee stop with the governor was much needed. I had to watch the video again to find the guy pushing his luggage..bugger was doing it along the cycle patch in Palma.. sacrilege! 😆

@@LivandTrekGoCycling I /we had to watch that bit a few times too. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Thanks. Last day today, spending it off bike on the beach..flight home tomorrow 🚴👍

@juliiekay3662 Hi, thanks for commenting. It's a nice hotel, even if you're not a cyclist...it's an even nicer hotel when you are. Are you a cyclist? 🚴

Hi Karl, thanks for commenting. I'm assuming you've done the climb and done it faster than 43 mins...which is the video length?

Hi Steve...thanks for commenting. I agree about the food. Good to hear you had a great time cycling here. I also agree there are less cyclists down here than the North. However...I'm quite happy that the hotel I'm staying in is the Tobago 😉

@@LivandTrekGoCycling Ha! Apologies you are right. We stayed at that which is indeed the Tobago but my confusion was we were going to stay at Palmanova one but changed. Anyway, we loved it and agree on staff they were excellent. Hope the pool had warmed up as when we were there it was freezing. The sea was warmer.

Hi Ian, thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you had a good time 🚴 in Majorca. 😎👍

Hi Dunc..thanks for commenting 👍

@@LivandTrekGoCycling no worries.

Hi William, thanks for commenting. That's a good question and I suppose much of it depends on your current level of fitness. It's a difficult question to answer but I suppose the simplest answer I can give is this....I wasn't quick up the climb, taking about 60mins to do it from the bottom to the top. As such...I would try and increase your fitness as much as possible but find a local hill which has an gradient of 6-8 percent and ride it...for 60 mins.
