Just bought this. Should be fun

Not my bike😆 Hired this one while I was out there. Mine is cooler but still not a Chopper😆

Mallorca is warmer than Lake Garda but steeper😆 Views just as good

Normally ride on my own but was great having her along with me. I don't think I'm a particularly strong cyclist because I've only been at it for a couple of years but I can hold my own. I dropped from 205 to 167 pounds and didn't lose strength so just go until I'm tired, get a coffee then go...

Never ridden a gravel bike before but absolutely loved it. Drivers were brilliant to be fair. Cycle paths were better than the roads in the UK. I wanted to go further but partner was worried her battery wouldn't last on the ebike. Very quiet roads in general, bet it's chaotic in the Summer though

Lake Garda is lovely. Italy super nice in general.

I'm heading to Italy this weekend and hiring a bike to ride around some of Lake Garda. Really looking forward to it. Will try to get some photos

I splice way more used rope than new. New rope feels like you've missed steps out it's that easy in comparison 🤣

I use a piano wire fid mate. New rope is super easy but this one was a bit tougher as the cores weren't sitting completely parallel. Push the fid up the outside with a bit of slack in the cover and it's fine

Thanks mate

Used Drenaline and used Tachyon. Both came out ok

Happy Birthday @gf beranek

Thanks all, sorry for the late reply, been a bit different from last year! Had a surprise party 41st (and delayed 40th) on the weekend before my birthday, organised by one of my oldest mates and my new partner. Loads of my mates from work, school and my town were there and we had a great time...

Weekend away in France so rode to the coast. Would recommend

Exactly that. Instant, precise shifting and it makes a cool little "derzzzz" noise every time I change gear which makes me happy
