What chainring is Sungod using? 60?

I'm just cleaning the coffee off my keyboard, @Stevo 666 don't you live in the flat lands of Dahnsahthshire?

I wish it was a bit flatter. Despite the highest point in Kent being a measly 250m above sea level, there are some short steep bits where I need that MTB type gearing. Nearly pulled a wheelie up Yorks Hill the other week 🙂

I'm expecting someone to chime any time now in with 'That's nothing, when I were a lad...'

53, sometimes ponder looking for a bigger one, but getting matching 130bcd bits isn't as easy as it used to be before sram went silly

Evening
From a dry Fife. Daughter dearest new house seems in the same chaotic state as the old it’s just bigger.
Took Bertie for a walk and he seems quite keen on the area unlike myself.

Got in a 100km solo ride, out to the border with the west, not too hilly, missed any shower , but a bit of a headwind. Glad I wore long sleeves as 13c at some of the highest bits.

If, as we're encouraged to do these days, I were to name the emotion, it would be de-mob happy.

Don't kid yourself - there will be an eternal latency.

Good ride had. Wind dropped and I decided I would just go. So I did.
A decent week on the pedalling front.

I'd love to see sungod go up a decent hill carrying 15kg of gear without a super compact.

Which bit of Fife is it?

 

[VinSumRox]

New passport arrived today, impressive service, all online and started the application on 23rd July. Very good communication from them re the progress as well.

Ceres now, previously Leuchars.

116psi @sungod . Is that 'cos you're fat?
...

anything less than 8 bar would be madness, if it's going to be a long long ride, i'll start out with 9-10, it's the law

Just out of curiosity, why skinny tyres?
Do you run them at lower pressure on blighty roads?
