General Cycling Discussion - the christening

OK folks, I have just spent some serious money on my bike. I've got myself some spanky new cranks, a set of chainrings (because the others were stuffed), a new chain and a new cassette. What's the first thing I do with them? Take them straight out into the rain (it's not my fault, I'm still banned from weather forecasting).

Don't feel bad, after I replaced all that stuff on my old bike I took mine straight out into the mud. But boy was it fun!:D

Well at least you got that out of the way. Now you can really enjoy your new spanky toys.

Yeah, Chris,

My pretty new whitewall tires lasted about a week before they got all ugly with brake shoe stains from the rain.

They have a sort of scary look now, like Boris Karloff's laboratory.

Now I feel better again. :D

Yeah, it hadn't rained up here for ages either, but last week it p*ssed down for a couple of days. I think it was just waiting for me.
