Bike Review -our first outing.

[jags]

Why not if it works and your comfy happy days.I'm just a feckin wreck these days,if I woke up without pain I'd think there was something wrong with me.

I had knee problems when using SPD's  , I find being able to move my feet about suits me. Never had a problem  since.

Boy, is that ever true!

Cycling involves a lot of repetitive motion and if things are just a little off, it becomes a lot of repetitive injury and strain.

I'm sure a big believer in getting what works for *you*. Everyone's different (thank goodness), so the solutions are different also.

Best,

Dan.

Well I took Scout out on her maiden run yesterday. I took her on a variety of surfaces, tarmac, grit track, forestry track, and chipping trail to see how she would handle them.

Janet,

The fun I referred to would be avoiding all those puddles!

At the moment here in Victoria Australia when I return from a ride I have to wash off all the dust that has settled on the bike.

Janet a lot more dirty spins to come
how's that ould rohloff fairing out are you happy with it so far.

[RST Scout]

Loving the Rohloff. So easy to change gears (as long as I turn the shifter the right way ). Haven't fallen off since I changed the pedals. Was out yesterday on the Trans Pennine Trail. Very wet underfoot. Scout performed admirably but I now know she is not good with mud. She slides! Down to the tires, I guess. BTW they appear to be Schwalbe (classic) Marathons not Marathon Sports. Not that I care. They are great on the road and that is what counts.
