cai Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 After a 2 hour drive to Cardiff for a ride earlier this week the heavens decided to open and it rained all day My grips were sliding about (so I took them off at one point), Ozzy/Iwan's front Magura lost all it's fluid, Theo turned up for the ride with smooth rims in the rain, and McCabe's bike was working okay (dam him!). To add to that anything metal, wooden or marble was like ice to ride on - anyway we made the most of it and had a laugh. Here's a short video from the ride: (watch it in HD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I liked the name placement. It's a shame you got crap weather. I would have liked to have seen a longer video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I liked the name placement. Cheers man, it was a little tricky to get them to look right on the cambered edge. It's a shame you got crap weather. I would have liked to have seen a longer video I know, It was annoying riding past amazing places thinking "I could ride that if it was dry", "I could have fun on that if it wasn't so slippery", "We could film a longer video if my camera was waterproof!"

arw_86 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 bad news about the weather. is there any benefit to wearing tight leggings and shorts? ive only ever work jeans to ride in. Wouldnt be caught dead in leggings haha, but if it helps then i cant argue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I wear shorts every time I ride, I find them much less restricting than jeans/trousers. I also wear shin pads as this gives me the same sort of confidence and re-assurance that a helmet gives. Edit: It's Iwan Osborne (Ozzy on trials-forum) and Andrew McCabe (drew_welsh_rider on trials-forum) that are wearing the leggings in the video so you'd have to ask them why they where them Edited February 25, 2012 by cai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
