Braking News

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/braking-news

Do your brakes squeak; or worse scream like a banshee when you are trying to come to a halt? It happens from time to time, the noise is so loud it becomes embarrassing. You almost become reluctant to use your brakes. You see pedestrian’s faces implode as dozens of finger nails drag across a blackboard. For safety’s sake you need to take action. Squealing brakes are less effective, as well as an assault on the ears of other road users. The cause could be one of several reasons. Most modern alloy rims have...

Nello’s Eve

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/nellos-eve

If you’ve ridden the Nello previously you know what to expect. If this is your first time enjoy the challenge and revel in the sense of satisfaction when you cross the finish line. Not only will you have completed a personal challenge, at the same time your sponsor monies will go to help cancer patients and those people closest to them. Make a list and put everything in one place, including the bike. Best start with the chamois cream then. The evening before the ride, check the weather forecast on the Me...

Chris Froome Respect

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/chris-froome-respect

Unfortunately Chris Froome is the victim of recent cycling history. Between 1990 and 2006 the sport virtually destroyed itself through by riders doping and ineffective governance at the highest level. For the statistics, take a look at www.dopeology.org. A great source mine of information covering the past 35 years. When you have a talent like Chris Froome’s there is no need for artificial enhancement. Power to your legs boy! Join our Email Club.

Get Wobbly

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/get-wobbly

Are you able to take both hands off the handlebars simultaneously? One of the best pieces of advice ever about staying safe on a bicycle came from the great (he deserves a knighthood) Graeme Obree, who said. Look wobbly, that way drivers will automatically give you a wide berth . If looking wobbly comes naturally to you, then according to Mr Obree you must be amongst the safest cyclists on the road. How do Tour de France stage winners zip up their jersey and then raise their arms when crossing the line?

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/index.php

He’s almost there! After weeks of cycling Rupert has entered the home stretch. Here’s a catchup on what he’s been up to. Stage 59 – Chipata to Petauke – 176kms (1,000m Climbing) An extra early start for me this morning to tend to my wounds with the alarm clock going off at 4:30am!

To the Pyrenees with bikes on top!

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/to-the-pyrenees-with-bikes-on-top

To the Pyrenees with bikes on top! Of course there are many different travel companies out there that will offer you a stress free and well organised cycling holiday pretty much anywhere in the world. But, let’s be honest,. There is no fun in that. I mean, how would things go wrong and then subsequently be put right again by sheer panic and irrational thinking? You’d never get that sort of excitement from an organised trip! So, where to start organising an unorganised trip? Day 1 Col des Tentes 2208m.

Preventative Maintenance

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/preventative-maintenance

Like preventative medicine, preventative maintenance will save a lot of money in the long term; fact! Winter is particular tough time for a bike. Whilst we must applaud our local councils for being on the ball when frost and ice is in the forecast. The salt, spread liberally on our roads can spell disaster for your bike. By now it was obvious that in putting the Ali G back on the road would require a new cassette, chain and woe is me, a bottom bracket. Join our Email Club. Site by Joe Stork Web Design.

Tyred and Tested

http://thebreakaway.co.uk/tyred-and-tested

We had a discussion a little while ago about the pros and cons of fitting wider tyres to one’s two wheeled mode of transport. Both schools of thought seem to have equal validity. So who is right? There is only one way to find out, with a practical experiment. A timely birthday presented an opportunity to put theory to the test. Not everyone sees two hoops of rubber as a proper present, but at least they run with it without too much fuss. Of course it is completely possible to sit on the fence. A caut...
