The day has finally arrived and I still have a bunch of things on my checklist. All the trip related are done and I feel ready there but I didn't get a lot of the little things around the house done. Looking around I feel I'm leaving a bit of a mess.
I have everything on the bike that I am not wearing or drinking down to 7.88Kg. A test ride was good except I could not get out of the pedals because somewhere I lost a cleat screw and all the cleat screws were lose. I had to steal a screw from another pair of shoes. Such a little thing that would have been trouble on the road.
The ferry leaves in a few hours. It's go time!
A comment and more information about your bike and a picture of it would be appreciated. (from the techie in me)
ReplyDeleteMy bike is exactly this: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/disc-brake-roadbikes/lechampion-ti-disc-brake-titanium-road-bikes.htm Ti is nice for big guys ... I'm pretty certain I would crack a more expensive frame in under 2 years. I am really hard on bikes. This one has held up well but I seem to burn through brake pads and rotors.
DeleteI also just installed tubeless tires. They are very smooth and should prevent a lot of the flats I normally get.
