That's the first climb from tonight's ride I did. No idea where I was but there was snow on the tops. Got a puncture which was really nice then fell off a lot of times. Good fun.

You can get tyres that have a smooth running surface with nobbly grippy bits just off the running part so as soon as you go into loose stuff or mud it will grip .... used to have them on my mtb before I got a hybrid/road bike and they were excellent

More resistance will mean harder work will get you fitter quicker!

Just got back from the vets £58 lighter two skinned pads and a cut one consistent with taking a tumble said the vet. Leave off for a few days until they heel up.

Anyone got tips on removing a stubborn pedal? Gave it a good dousing in PlusGas yesterday but it's still stuck. Other one loosened easily but really struggling with this one.

And yes I'm definitely trying to turn it in the right direction.

Managed to get the pedal sorted eventually.

Got new ones on, new shoes and cleats too. Hoping to go for a ride tomorrow, haven't been on the bike for about a month now

Did a quick 15kms today and it killed me! Not been on the bike in about 4 months and I'm quite shocked how hard it was. Doesn't help that it was about 28 degrees and windy. Going again tomorrow. No pain no gain.

Rode Forest of Dean yesterday and learnt I fucking love uplifts! Rode Macc today and did all the uphill and got a fucking puncture on the first part of the downhill on my Soul. Proper pissed me off as I left my camelback at home with my spare tube and pump in it! Had to do a 3 mile push home.

On a side note if anyone wants any forks servicing then I am setting up a sideline/business doing it. Competitive pricing and a quick turn around. I will be doing rear shocks shortly once my nitrogen charge kit arrives.

I know I am quite late to the party! I've been servicing stuff for my mates and myself for years. I've done everything from Mag21's to Fox 40's so I figure I might as well have a push at it too seen as I really don't like my job!

Going to try to make a proper go of it, if you don't try then you cannot moan. Plus if it does not work I have all the tools in place after trying to make doing my own forks far, far easier.

did you go on the proper course so you can be an approved fox service technician as fox are a little funny about people doing repairs and servicing especially stuff that still has warranty unless your names mojo lol
