Disc brakes are dead

I imagine all the dead-ends can get a bit tedious? #gravelculdesac

Some would argue thats the reason to get a bike with flat bars. Others don't see the need to take every turn available.

miles upon miles upon miles of this stuff in scotland (which is - for now, at least - a part of the UK)

So after some serious effort and scratches getting the seatpost into the OG DBAD, I gave the tube a reaming and it’s a lot smoother fit.

Sadly the rival shifter died on my first proper ride on it so was stuck in the 11T for the last 15km of the ride. Hoping to find a replacement part or just change over to a shimano groupset. Found the dura ace 9000 shifters in my spares box. Next to find derailleurs and A double crankset.

Depends on the wind farm but they are on private land so not accessible.

The access roads for the wind farm Northeast of the A680 between Edenfield and Wolstenholme connect to Rossendale Way, but they're a bit dead-endy, or link to unridable footpaths.

Rad though. The to the north of the windfarm, Rossendale Way/Pennine Bridleway go through Lee Quarry bikepark.

Lucky fucker. I peaked in 2008.

Before or after the apocalypse?

I brung the apocalypse

No that was @Velocio

Are you keeping your other e-bike once the Bullitt is converted?

yeah, in a way it can haul more/awkward shaped stuff more than Bullitt as I am restricted by the canopy

Which model did you get?

Great bike, great light, great gravel

I wouldn't change a thing .. except for throw money at it for 'upgrades'. SID Ultimate SL should be here this week.

This is bait

Which Light Bicycle rims are you getting?

The 25mm wide ones. Operating strictly on one upgrade per month policy. These will become winter wheels with winter tyres.

Why are you riding on the grass if it’s a gravel bike :)

the suspension is only tuned for grass at the moment, need to tune for gravel
