Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Fubar]

Quite agree. I think you should get credited with double miles for Scotland but half for abroad in nice weather.

I don't think "abroad in nice weather" rides should count at all.



Obviously if I ever go abroad I will retract that statement.

Cheater - surely they only count if on British soil?!?

I'm in trouble then - Jan/Feb, Florida. March, Ingerlund (I suppose that is abroad ). April, a real one. May, France!

It should be the other way around. Miles abroad count double. Unless you're in Holland or something!

Did my first 200km today and my highest amount of climbing on a ride. And have smashed my biggest month to bits. Bike still sounds like a bag of spanners, faith in shop that did service is dwindling fast as they claimed it was fixed on Thursday.

Absolute beast of a ride, well done sir.

You should only do small rides this week in prep for t3p.

Na it's more the gears not running right. Won't shift properly in the wee ring, so stuck in big wherever possible today.

[Louch]

They de indexed the gears, felt ok Thursday night, today was all over the place. Going back in Monday morning to say I want it properly looked at as cant risk a mechanical Next week

This. You won't gain anything from any 'training' rides between now and T3P, proposed 100k included. Rest will be more beneficial.

I think mine is on it's way out too. It's about 2yo now. I checked it last night and there is no play, but I'm getting click-click-click... I think it probably got completely washed out of grease in 10 hours of rain overnight on that 400k a couple of weeks ago. But it survived today thankfully!

I had no movement in mine but they said that the press fit that i have can get dirt and sh1t in it and it starts clicking away, instead of giving it a clean and re grease i'm just getting a new one

It's small beans, I am thinking the same. I have a new 50T chainring to get fitted as well so I think I'll leave mine in to get both replaced.
