Hey everyone,
Well I stumbled upon this forum when searching for help with coming to grips with the breaks on a road bike after a lifetime of chunky deep grooved tyres. Within a day I've already had a whole host of brilliantly helpful and friendly replies so thank you to all who have helped me already.
I live and work in Bristol but am originally from Hampton (Near Kingston-Upon-Thames, Greater London) where I still visit every now and then.
Just over 5 weeks ago my dad unfortunately passed away. When I went home to be with my mum and sister through the hardest time in our lives to date, I discovered my dad's old road bike in the garage. During the month I spent back in London, that bike became my escape. I was up and out on it every morning before anyone else knew it was day, had my mini adventure and got back in time for a smoothie and a shower.
When it was time to return to Bristol I decided to take the bike back with me, it was to become my project. Since being back I have made several small improvements (grip, tyres, break pads, pedals) and have fallen in love with cycling once more.
So here I am, a lifetime cyclist but a newbie passionate cyclist.
