The bbc has her as a pedestrian, but that photo clearly shows a bicycle.

Always fancied the master lock cuffs as a quick lock.

Kryptonite new york chain is the minimum I use and carry. Never give them a chance.

Rohloff do a cassete wear checker.
The Rohloff HG IG Check.
Odd that the people who make a hub that does away with the cassette makes a cassette checker.
Put a new chain on, if it does the slipping, clunky thing you unfortunatly need a new cassette.

I considered the belt drive
I considered the belt drive for my current rohloff build, but not much, already going for hydrolic disc brakes, tubeless and internal gearing, I thought the gates a step too far. Sticking with the chain drive as I know chains a bit, and my chosen frame, surly ogre doesn’t have the opening in the stays. If I had gone for an equivilent Shand then I might have done.
It’s also easier to carry a few spare quicklinks rather than the belt, always thinking about failure.
Real advantage of the Gates would be that my chain is only ever clean straight after cleaning and lubing, the moment my off road bit of my commute start, everything is filthy, it’s been a very muddy winter for me.
New bits make you go faster,
New bits make you go faster, new, shiny bits even faster and new, shiny, expensive bits make you go faster still. If you can always upgrade. She deserves it.
Bit off tangent, but anyone
Bit off tangent, but anyone know if anyone makes a long finger very lightweight glove with pittards leather palm? Sometimes pearl izumi do it, but they seem to have an on/off relationship with pittards. I know that clarino wears better but the grip of pittards is fantastic.
Make your own flapjacks, I
Make your own flapjacks, I use a version of the grren and black recipe with lots of dried fruit and some seeds to replace some of the oats.
And jelly babies for later in the ride.

I love this thread.
I love this thread. Especially the commited cyclists who single post with their positive reviews.
Park ccp-2.
Park ccp-2.
And its much easier to remove rhe chainset to change the chainrings. You might need a park cnw-1 to hold the other bit other than the hex side.
If we reduce congestion too
If we reduce congestion too much then we will get less of that ever so smug satisfaction of breezing past scores of vehicles filled with frustrated motorists.
This is what I do and it
This is what I do and it might help to reduce pinches, I talkum powder both the tube and the inside of the tyre, put one bead on, the talk reduces friction, insert partly inflated tube, other bead on, then inflate to around 20psi, then with the wheel lying on the floor or in the bike in the workstand, fully deflate before pumping to the desired pressure.
Bit messy, powder goes everywhere, but it works for me. Oh and wipe the talk off the rims .
