must go through the bag o goodies that i got with it later. manuals, warranty, receipts etc. and the little mini tool kit that came with the bike for setup. guy i got it off seems to be really into his biking, only reason he sold was... he bought it from a guy at 2months old who used it twice and realised it didnt suit his cycling. but my guy found out after getting to use it 3 times that he cant cycle it - he has cartilage damage in his knee, so had to get a e-mtb. my money from today is going into upgrading that. price new was around 1400-1500, us the pedals, grips, saddle, handlebar and floating disc brakes. i paid him 950

proper post purchase impressions will follow later, and then a review of it once i get it out on a trail. been gone for so much of the day, moving it to the shed is as much riding as itll see today 😅 might give it a wipe down after its transport tonight, and for covid shared surface transmission reasons. but, a photo of it beside its great grandad - its a very different beast ill try and get the seat post height dialled in tomorrow, and if i get a chance do a lap of the block to settle in on the brakes (floating disc upgrade also done) and the feel of the gear shifters and stuff. ill figure out the rebound setting too, and then dial that in on the trail monday

Retirement Portrait for Emmelle last trip up the hill under me this morning

alternator clutch maybe?
-
bearing tends to be wheel speed dependent rather than engine speed though, resonating louder at particular speed multiples. it could be just something stuck behind a brake cover, or it could something deeper.

that would ruin the surprise
-
that sounds filthy..... when exactly does it happen as you pull away? is it worse if you pull away uphill? does it happen if pulling away downhill only on the idle?
-
sounds like a split pipe alright losing boost
-

that will have been the B ) you put on have you tried connecting another phone to the BT? and the phone to another BT? just in case theres a general issue with either? can happen. @Rustynuts is very good with the HUnits, so probably has some advice too

i pretty much have that done in my head no particular order - sentier vr roscoe 7 stoic 3 all in or around the same spec and money, just need something to pop up as actually purchasable which seems to be a challenge. size medium.... even most of the second handers (very few...) are all large or XL, which are too big for my little 5ft7" in shoes body..
-
yeah, i was lookin at the vr spec, and a couple of other listings on wiggle. everything seems a lower spec than the vr 🤔

nephew was pulled out of the 630am start by swmbo.. to be fair he hasnt been up before 9 and not sleeping properly for a couple of months, so maybe going straight into a 8k run at 630am may have been a bit of a push he has promised to go for a run himself later on after doing some work on the project. so i went pedalling my typical route, but twisted a through the trees section to boost myself an extra climb and a bit more distance. the extra climb knocked the avg speed back but an extra km and 50m climbing. it all felt good

perhaps you were aiming ( with your eyes closed) for that bit where the kerb is missing/at footpath level? and missed it..

well, the one for sale was a large, so a bit big. how accurate do we think Wiggle might be with stock expectation?? https://www.wiggle.co.uk/vitus-sentier-27-mountain-bike-2021 brand new is up as €1061, for the entry level sentier 27.

change in offing for tomorrow morning... swmbo's nephew is struggling to write his FYP for uni, lotta stuff goin on atm, so he has been convinced to come down to Nanny's house and do some work 9n it with swmbo helping him put a shape on the structure. he has also agreed to get up and come with me for an early morning blast. no bike, so we're gonna run instead. giving him the choice of hill climb or flat in the morning.
