Your ride today....

[iandg]

Was yours old? It's done about 9000 odd miles and it was second hand when I bought it, so I assume these are fatigue cracks.

I was wondering when it would be time to replace, now seems about right.

Only a few thousand miles - but an electric hub motor and disc brakes. I have a friend who has had the same problem, he recons it's the disc brakes. 9000 is good for a wheel, get it rebuilt or a new wheel, hopefully good for another 9000 miles.

Sunday I rode the "Solway Big Onion Gravel" event. I did the medium route with my eldest lad and his wife - 75.4km 1,364m ascent, 62% of the route off road. A relaxed event where you can ride any bike and deviate from the route if a section's too hard. I rode my gravel converted e-bike. I would have struggled to complete the route on my Cross-Check with my health issues. A grand day out.
