[Flick of the Elbow]

A fabulous pink and orange dawn this morning, shepherds warning and all that. Rain was forecast from mid morning so headed out fairly sharpish (half eight) to beat the worst of it. Got a bit damp in the last bit but other than that 30 dry miles. Proper rain has now set in for most of the afternoon, which I will be spending in front of the telly watching the men’s road race.

My glw has sent me a photo from yesterday’s first day of her 4 day trek in Assynt, looks rather fabulous. (I fear that they are getting a bit wet today though).

That's the brake bleed completed and a really enjoyable 15 mile on and off road test ride done to check everything works as it should (and it does). It's good to have the Ti Elan back in service as it's the best all round bike I've got.

Yikes definitely avoiding SRAM now.

It's a lot easier than it sounds. The main problem is making sure you don't drop the bleed port screws on the shed floor as they're tiny T10 Torx jobs.

I thought SRAM used mineral oil, not DOT fluid?

The newly released MTB stuff does (as per all Shimano), but the road brakes are still DOT.
