Zwifty

Zwift loads, trying to ride as far/fast for as long as I can, without getting KIS, Mallorca is my goto destination #cyclistsarenotstationaryobjects

@stichraw @AlanMyles8 Weirdly Garmin speed sensors are very accurate they are magnetometers and measure the rotation of the wheel within the Earths magnetic field to determine speed and distance, far more accurate than a vehicle’s speedometer 😉

@cyclegaz PPF much cheaper 👍

@dysontour @SaferRoadsYorks @leicspolice That’s not enough ties, the top layer is held by gravity, tsk tsk

@cadencechris Nice bike Mr👍. Here’s mine, I’m going to get another set for my TCR

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Ahh, might be something I need to invest in as I now have a buggered hand since I dislocated and shattered my wrist when I fell on black ice 😳

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Fair enough if you’re on a budget, out of curiosity what’s the tool for, I’ve re cabled my bikes a few time and never used one?

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Any bike shop that says that needs a slap, buy a Birzman chain wear indicator, under a tenner, check your chain after every ride, bin the chain when it reaches 0.5%, always keep a spare ready, I always use Shimano I wax them and can get 5K miles out of one.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles The cassette will probably be fine with the new chain, as for the chainrings that have been worn to the old chain is a different story.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Good god, I bin a chain when it’s worn (stretched) at 0.5%, and I’ve never had to replace a cassette or chainrings in 80,000 miles on my various bikes.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles YouTube how to get the correct chain length, there are 2 popular ways to do it, big ring to big cassette without the derailleur, or small ring to small cassette through the derailleur.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles You should change your chain when worn to 0.5% otherwise it’ll wear the cassette and chainrings out prematurely, chains are consumable items.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Patience and YouTube 👍

@BenjiNaesen This is why I have a @buxum_box

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@righttobikeit @LukeWar73493682 Every one of those would have been done by @ASPolice they’re horrific.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Ahhh, indeed, and it’s a really nice shop, our club rides start there👍

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@CB_cycles Moved from where? They’re still in Bridgwater, and now in Yeovil, Weston and Hereford.

[Zwifty @T15TSL]

@sillysailor5 @Sh3zz4 Everyone I know is insured as are their bikes 🤷‍♂️

@TheFigen_ As an old man I find I cry a lot these days, this also made me cry.
