Yes Mutiny, from the engineroom.
Let me start with after last weeks problems on the Dartmoor Devil.
And the fitting of a rear disc brake tobe operated from the front, with the
Magura to be operated from the stern.
I have now gone off that idea because of what happened today.
Picture this a nice decent from Minnions down to a right hand turn several miles away.
The sun is shining, yes its cool up here on Bodmin Moor, and a lovely day.
We start to wind it up, now we have road this quite afew times.  Not
virgin terratory, we approached a lovely little S bend, left then right. Still pedalling like mad.
When suddenly, for the first time since I have had the pleasure of riding with Stokes.
She started to back pedal/Stop pedalling, I said “ Whats Up!!” surprised
“ Watch out for the bend you are going too fast” shouted Stokes.
So you can imagine if we fit a rear brake, IT WOULD NEVER BE OFF.
Would it Stokes. But thank you for a really nice ride around Cornwall. wink

Stokes said I could be Captain:
Now Stokes has changed her mind I can’t be Captain

All bless! I find the same in the car, my gran hits the front footwell when she deems it necessary to brake, which can be often several miles from the traffic lights.

Hey Pedlar I have the same problem on the Cannondale, the cranks turn a lot easy when my son is behind me,but when the trouble and strife is behind the cranks seem to be very tight going down the hills,strange.
