Learnt a lesson this weekend - yous all probably already know, but *just in case... Shimano don't make good chains! Mine broke twice this weekend, after 280 miles and 2 months of use 😱

I know, but twice in one weekend? And after 2 months? And I was just cruising along on the flat canal path the second time 😳. Trying a Sram one this time!

There was pie. And sweet, sweet descents. And hot brakes. And a lot of up. But no fat bikes.

About This Thread

Maintained by cathrobinson
Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
