  • Nice ride up to my sister's yesterday, bit of a family get together, eating food, chatting shit, enjoying the sunshine. Rode back today, bit of rain during the night, so made some of the off-road sections a bit muddy, but not too bad.
    100mile round trip, no issues riding up, couple of minor issues coming back:
    2 front tyre punctures, luckily the sealant did it's job pretty rapid the first time, second time not so rapid (extremely glad I was wearing my specs, quite a bit of sealant flung over the bike and my face).
    Whilst having a halfish way home rollie my cap got blown into the canal, fortunately didn't drift out too far so was able to fish it out.

    Bike looking functional along side the Bridgewater canal (just south of Sale).

    A combination of tyre sealant and dirt/dust makes for a mucky bike.

  • It got replaced with a black one?!?

    Less sarcastic answer,

    I was after a 100mm, 0°, silver stem, no joy, lbs had the black X4 in 100/0 and offered it to me at a rather tasty price, so I couldn't refuse (I'll keep looking for a silver one that I like, til I find one, the black stem stays), and I quite like it.
