Just about at the top of 1st climb with a strong tail wind!
Passing time around a 25kph bend at 35kph!
The Finish Line! 1st 160km ride this year! More to come..
Well I finished working on my bicycle and went for the 1st ride with STD gear set up, all working well and me having to lean to charge gear with two shifters!!
Went for 1st train ride 35km's and find that my left knee was in pain (for the 1st time) I adjusted a few things but no luck? So I went to see Mark (@TopGear Cycles) for help we worked out that maybe the change of BB and moving the left crankarm over (to the centre of the bike) had up set thinks I removed a plate from under my toes and I tried that? I still hard some pain so I lowered my seat by 4mm.
WIND, WIND, and More WIND on Thursday, Friday, and of course Saturday the 26.11.11!
So of I cycled with a knee in a little pain and high winds (head winds) I put my plan of sub 7 hours aside and just cycled for fun.
So I went for one last cycle ride along some of the cycle ways around Taupo (35kms), all worked good. So it was time too remove and packed it all up. Rohloff parts and the rear wheel (with Hub of course) to its new home.
So I had luck that a new BB came in the post the same day, To rebuild my bike with STD gear set up.
