Dalewood St.



After not riding for three weeks, my first ride was Dalewood St... Been curious ever since taxi's bunch did it a few weeks ago. The only problem I had was the front wheel losing traction doing wheelies, I almost dumped it a couple times. I was forward over the bars but I guess my butt just weighs too much.

One embarrassing moment was when two girls half way up began laughing at me sounding like a steam locomotive coming up. Otherwise made in my 30x25.

I think a 30x27 would have been better on the roadbike. Thinking of trying my MTB with a low of 24x28.
