It's Not Easy Being Green
I hope you told her it's a safety issue and if she actually loved you she wouldn't let you ride around on that death trap!
What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

has some good things to say
It seems that I have to actually break something first. Though she has just pointed out that I have other bikes I could ride if this one is broken... seems churlish!

I took the trail bike out today seeing as the trails have pretty much dried rock hard. I been riding the ebike for the last few months. It's always a shock to the system getting back on and I'm the engine. The whole ride I kept thinking how slow I am going. All in all good to be back pedaling my guts out and getting nowhere.

Not quite, they just won't make you slow (down).
Edit: Happy page 2500 of this thread everyone.

I can lend you a broken frame if you want to present physical evidence.

Those Chinese aliexpress carbon rims have held up. I got the light weight rims and the zitto hubs although I think the Zitto rear hub is the reason I'm going so slow. Well that is my excuse.

Another "Yewies" ride. It was pretty warm, but smashed out 32k. Bit of sustenance along the way in the form of 3 bugs. One of which was ingested via my left nostril.
Little (actually was pretty big) skink guy
Eeeben though it was 30 degrees and I was passed by 3 mopeds just mosying up this awful ascent, there was one guy on a WA1 Arrival that was stood up mashing the pedals up (à la @Chriso_29er).
Which shows there is still much improvement that I can achieve without assistance.
@Mattyp you don't need a tree, just a concrete sleeper and a stick #influencemeharder
Was a mint evening, this was not long after my first regulation bug ingestion.

More impressive is that I was still able to ride it, albeit gingerly, 10km back to the car.

I saw the tied spokes and wondered about that. That is genuinely impressive. Carbon rim I'm guessing?

A big stick I presume? That's a hell of a lot of broken spokes!

Putting the disintegrating spokes to one side for a moment, how do you find the VHS chainstay? worth the 65$?
