I am going to check tomorrow to see if the offer of a free month trial on TPV is still available to me. I was offered it twice in the last couple of weeks but I was away. I rigged up my new game controller in anticipation, using a stick-on...

Sorry if this has been posted before, but 🤣: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17ZC7N1aSg/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The clags were indeed flying backwards (never actually thought to question this at the time). I guess the correct downward motion towards the floor would not have had the same impact as seeing them flung vigorously into the air behind said rider.

Well, I did use the 'whistle' emoji to show that I wasn't taking it seriously... :laugh:

IIRC, 'Clag-gone' was a misnomer - it was more a 'Clag-your-bare-legs'! ('Clags' were shown flying backwards, but think which direction the rear wheel would actually be rotating in!)

Even though I like my 1x11 Devon bike, I also like my Cannondale CAAD5 which I converted from a 53/39 double chainset to a much more hill-friendly 48/36/28 triple chainset. I would quite like to replace the 28 with a 26 but my 10-speed Chorus...

I experienced something like that last week in Devon. I was climbing a little hill coming up to where I took a left turn and I suddenly had a flashback to doing the same climb and turn a few days before. A middle-aged couple had been walking up...

It would actually be handy when I couldn't be bothered to set up my Park Tools stand to do some minor bike tweaking!

Great minds think alike! :okay:

But where would you find one?

Climbing in 42/11 is way more macho than climbing in (say) 50/21! :whistle:

Put it in 42/11 if you really want to hurt yourself! :laugh: When my 1x11's 42 tooth ring wears out I will probably replace it with a 40, or even a 38 if I can find one that fits. 40/11 or 38/11 would probably be high enough for me these days...

Indeed! 50 miles in temperatures from (say) 50 F to 75 F and low to moderate humidity would be fine. Even 5 miles in high humidity at 80+ F would do me in!

Me too, but I haven't found a shop that sells them, and even if I did I probably wouldn't be able to afford one!
