Went out with a bunch of family to Sherwood Pines. I didn't die! It was fun! The Proflex worked almost perfectly on its first proper outing. One rear V-brake jettisoned a brake pad cartridge, but my brother had some spare crap brake pads in the car. Going to blame the 30 year old retaining pin for that one; I think I'll just replace them all with single-piece ones.
Great ride today Doing what is probably my most done almost 10 mile loop.
It has it all, climbs, road, climbs, water, climbs, rocky sections, climbs, fast DH sections and climbs.
As I am very fond of saying "not all miles are equal"
That new little rear mudguard does actually help a fair bit, rocky section is almost always wet so I like to have them on all year round. Also I do ride in the rain quite often.
