Committee Alan McLean Posted March 17, 2008 Committee Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Campbell You posted too late. sorry you couldn't join us. Lovely ride down to Dalry with a tailwind. My trip was cut short when my rear rim overheated and failed coming down Fairlie Moor. Long walk down to the coast road. I caught the train home and still beat Mark, Duncan and Darryl who came back by Brisbane Glen and Whin. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions duncan thomson Posted March 18, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Alan, certainly made me look more closely at my rims although not sure if I would be able to pick out a rim that needs replacing. So, how did you get on with your fixed bike for commuting instead... nice and simple, with no gears to worry about? Do tell Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kenny MacDonald Posted March 19, 2008 Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I blew up a rear rim the day before the Bealach whilst on skye , managed to ride home very slowly not using rear brake. The rim had worn down and cracked and it was only 10 year old I think its due to modern brake blocks , they seem to pick up grit easier than old style blocks. On most Sunday runs you can hear the sound of grit grinding on rims as people brake . Its worth being a wee bit more vigilant when cleaning wheels.
