    Beautiful ride guys! Another 5" of snow this morning, no rides for us. Bummer about the brake but Julie knows an excellent bike mechanic. You'll be up and rolling in no time.

      Cheers Ken.... I had some replacement discs on the way but obviously left it too long. It's funny how the parts on Julie's bike don't wear out so fast...😀

    Thank you, Wheelers, for yet another enjoyable ride. It is a wonderful 3C, and breezy here in Boise. We had some sleet/snow flurries last night, and the roads were a bit crunchy this morning. Luckily (I guess), I’m at work today.
    I’d did, however, get to see and touch the new Checkpoint yesterday. The shop needed to get seat and handlebar measurements, so I went over on my lunch. Now we’re just waiting on a correctly sized dropper post, as the one I had them order was too long. Hopefully, I can take the completed bike home this weekend. Not that the forecast for the next week shows any kind of descent bike weather. Oh, well. We're are getting very close to riding season now. 😁

    Well done Mike, Julie and crew very nice ride on a lovely route, Julie managed to get her fill of yee haa's, pity about the brakes could have been worse both brakes on the decents.
    Have a wonderful week

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  Рік тому +1

      Yes Terry, both brakes would've been a bit dicey for sure ... I'm tempted to go for branded ones and see how they last. Cheers Terry👍

    I had a ride on a new-ish bike to me last autumn which started making noise from the front break. I eventually realised one of the disc pads had vanished! Made for an interesting ride home as it was an undulating route for the final 12 miles with just a rear brake!

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  Рік тому +1

      I was pretty lucky as the route home was flat, it did fail on a downhill but the camera wasn't running of course 😀 Scary thought losing a pad...

    With all those bumpy, speedy downhill gravelly tracks, I feel that probably everything gets ridden to destruction...

    Not particularly surprised by your remark about the cost of parking. The Bournemouth area certainly has EXPENSIVE parking charges in many places. Definitely a car unfriendly place.

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  Рік тому

      Yeah, last week we drove into town for the first time in a long time, and where to park was probably the most stressful part of it. Even though we were going on somewhere else after we definitely should've ridden in and home again to get the car and continue on ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Suspect you need a bigger disc, though you probably can't fit them on the gravel fork. 180mm on the front for a gent of your stature id say. Either that or use your shoe LOL

      You're right, I had 180 on my MTB and they were great 👍 Cheers for commenting

      @@WheelersAtLarge i did watch and see the mess it was in .manufacturers provide minimum thicknesses for their rotors. Shimano recommends that its rotors, which start out 1.8mm thick, should be replaced when the braking surface has been reduced to 1.5mm

      @@chrisnumnuts8671 They must've been well below that as the rear is bang on 1.5mm now. I have another pair as well but hadn't got around to swapping them. Poor maintenance and definitely my own fault. Cheers Chris 👍
