Midnight faran and purple harum

Been a while, so dumping some pent-up posts. I’ve not done a lot of riding beyond commuting.

This is today, a few changes

• rotor sub-compact
  
• Cowbells
  
• Nitto ui-25 stem
  
• Went for some coloured hose and cable outers. I’m not sure about these yet. Moore Large went out of business just as I’d decided some jagwire colours, I don’t even know what brand these are.
  
  

Cowbells feel really good now I have them in 38s, I got out for a 60k today and enjoyed the sub-compact rings, and overall looking forward to some more riding this year. Twins are a proper handful now they are 18m, sleeping less and running, climbing, breaking stuff, but if I get my shit together and go early before breakfast it feels a lot more possible. Riding in the drizzle today was actually brilliant. LFGSS aquajacket was perfect.

In a couple weeks I’ll take for the mudguards and finally put on some 700 wheels on. I bought a genesis with 700x28s to keep in Ireland, and that wheel setup felt quite different.

I’m sad that Clever Mike closed, the loveliest people and they did great work. I went to butternut bikes this time and they’ve done a nice job. Front shifting with the rotor crankset is really nice.
