Rest Day

Had to take another rest day today as I had too much to do so I took the day off. I can't go to training tomorrow either as I have to go to my parents house and help them moving.

I found 30 minutes today to swap my gearing to 36x16 I decided that I am going to use the gearing and just make do with it if I am slower with it then I am slower. I need to learn to spin so I might as well start now as I am not going to win at the weekend anyway so I am just using it as training anyway.

Luckily I did mess with my bike as the rear wheel bolts were loose so  I may have avoided a crash from the wheel coming out of line. I have also found that my rear wheel is out of alignment so I need to take them in to get them straightened next week so I am going to order some wheels to use for practising while my race wheels are being serviced.

I have just bought some new training wheels to use next week. I went for the Stay strong 24x1.175 Black wheels from Chain reaction as they were reduced by £20 and then I got another £20 off as I have a 10% discount from my British Cycling membership so not bad.

  A link to the wheels can be found here:

I noticed that one of the allen bolts on my Onyx hub is rounded off which is probably why the wheel was loose. Next month I am going to buy a new chain gusset V2 from crucial so that I can slam my wheels properly.

The chain is a half link chain so it is more adjustable than a normal chain and it is supposed to be the strongest chain going.

I am also debating buying some of the Yess aluminium forks for the cruiser then my Yess is fully built with nothing to change. The Yess forks look really good and are also really light and I have wanted to try them for months.
