Last bit of prep on my bike.

Absolute Black hot chain wax. Takes the worry out of lubing the chain for the first 500 miles then I just have to top it up with liquid wax.

The Workshop is now closed till the week commencing the 29th June.

I'm off on a bit of a solo bike packing trip.

This is the route I plan to ride there maybe be some changes along the way.

Thank you Mrs T for holding the fort.

I will still be replying to messages and calls but it will be once I've finished cycling for the day.

Boxes are like buses they all arrive at the same time. Usually when you are drinking your coffee ☕️

I had a nice weather window so i decided to do my version of the lakes and dales loop.

It was a perfect opportunity to have a bit of a kit test before my trip into Europe in a few weeks.

It just happened to be the same weekend of the famous Fred Whitton. The upside of that was I had plenty of people to chase down, the downside was I had to ride past all the feed stations.

The scenery was amazing as was the bike however I need to pack lighter.

Finally after loads of work on the house and lots of bike servicing and repairs we have managed to get away for a few days in the van to do some cycling on the gravel bikes, along with games of chess and wine gifted from our Swiss family, presented in the most expensive rip off plastic French beakers from my Le Man's 24hr cycling event where Beardyman was created 😀

And just for the record once the wine has gone Irish whiskey will be in the beakers 😁

These are the things that get checked on a service.

Your rear mech hanger has an important part to play in gears working efficiently.

This one is off a mountain bike and has been damaged by the B screw. This has happened overtime by the bike going over rough terrain and it's basically been filed away by the harder metal of the B screw.

From a stack of wood to somewhere to sit when the sun comes out 🙏

That is my last job at home this year completed.

I can now concentrate on growing some veg in the garden with somewhere nice to sit and drink my coffee/Guinness


 

Two things that get picked up on a service. And both of these can really spoil your day on the bike.

Another good reason to get your bike or wheels serviced.

The only thing keeping the axel together was the quick release.

The axel at the bottom of the picture is an intact axel, the one at the top isn't. 😳

This was on a relatively new bike and the customer got it to me before too much damage was done.

Getting your wheels serviced is just as important as getting your bike serviced. If you are in search of those KOM's or QOM's, you don't want to have to push more watts than you need too. Knackered bearings means more watts. 😥
