I picked up my first ever RoadBike last night......

Terrible weed problem there. Might want to get that sorted and filled in.

See my previous comment on weeding.

No excuses

Too busy enjoying life to worry about weeding the garden
Plenty of time for that when I'm old,retired and smell of wee.

Just waiting to retire then?!?!

Nice bike... just need to get the clipless pedels sorted.

Only did a very short ride (as it was lashing it down and thunder too) this evening, just to get some more saddle time for my arse bones!


Why did I buy another white bike?

 

[Dragonwight]

Got the same bike had it for years even the same paint scheme had very few issues with it. Tyres are nasty mind I replaced them with some Gp4000s you can feel the difference. And the cables where they touch the frame rub the paint away in record time I got some of those rubber sleeves for a few quid to stop it going any further.

Dont want to start a new thread, may be a daft question but how can you tell if you have nasty tyres, I have no idea. What will good tyres give you that bad ones won't?. Mine are Vitorria zaffiro any good?

And how can you tell from the pics what tyres he's got on, they just look black and round to me?

Ride them is the best way to find out. I didn't get on with Vitorria but tons of other folk do

My tyres are "Specialized Mundo".....if they are good or bad I have no idea..they feel ok to me.

If they feel OK just ride them until they wear out. Usually excess ptures is a sign, bear in mind the isolated 1 or 2 is normal but 3 in a row is a sign of failure or extreme bad luck

15.9miles tonight, cracking evening to be out on it.
